Resumen del Editor

The girl with the dragon tattoo is not given to forgiveness.

Lisbeth Salander has been forged by a brutal childhood and horrific abuse. And repeated attempts on her life.

The ink embedded in her skin is a constant reminder of her pledge to fight against the injustice she finds on every side.

Confinement to the secure unit of a women's prison is intended as a punishment. Instead, Lisbeth finds herself in relative safety. Flodberga is a failing prison, effectively controlled by the inmates, and for a computer hacker of her exceptional gifts there are no boundaries.

Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains, one that could provide an important exposé for Millennium: Salander tells him to check out Leo Mannheimer, a seemingly reputable stockbroker from Stockholm, somehow connected to the long-ago death of a child psychologist - and to the psychiatric unit where Lisbeth was an involuntary patient as a child.

Lisbeth knows she is coming closer to solving the mysteries of her early life, and even within the confines of the prison, she feels the deadly influence exerted by her twin sister. She cannot stand by as racial and religious conflicts run unchecked amongst the community around her, manipulated by criminal forces far beyond the prison walls.

Salander will stand up for what she believes in. She will find out the truth. Whatever the cost...

The tension, power and unstoppable force of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye are inspired by Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, as Salander and Blomkvist continue the fight for justice that has thrilled millions of readers across the world.

Translated from the Swedish by George Goulding.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Lagercrantz has more than met the challenge. Larsson's brainchildren are in good hands." ( Wall Street Journal)

"Lagercrantz pulls it off, and with a great deal of style." ( Observer)

"Salander and Blomkvist are just as compelling as ever." ( New York Times)

I had to drag thru unlike the previous 4 books

Hardly a suspense thriller
Did not seem like a lizbeth story.
Look forward the camilla Lizbeth face off in the next one... hopefully

Excelent flow, excelent narrator

I was a huge fan of original Stieg Larsens trilogy and really reserved about listening to Lagercrantz version. But I'm glad I did.

Thank you for bringing Mikael and Lisbeth back to us David!

Really love how this book flows, the details, the depth of the story. Except ending seems somewhat forced. Like you wrote A++ esay, but run out of time to write closing and just scribble something down. Still, this book gets all 5 stars. I enjoyed the characters, their stories, how all comes together, all of it.

And the narrator brings this book to life. He is so good with changing his voice for characters and speed and tone of speech for more exciting parts of book I had a feeling I am right there in the middle of action. Brilliant !

lacks a bit of the darkness of its predecessors

lacks a bit of the darkness of its predecessors but worth a listen. i will be getting the next one.

Very enjoyable from a good author

At first I was hesitant to listen to this book. I didn't enjoy the previous book as much as I'd hoped. I'm glad that I did, because in contrast to the previous book, where, at times, the characters was so exaggerated they almost seemed like parodies of Larssons characters, in this they are great. The dialogue between them is good, and the book has a nice flow. The story is intricate and very well written and thought out. We finally get to know the reason for Salanders dragon tattoo, and learn more about her past. The book springs into action at once, unlike the previous book where it took some time before something really happened.

One has to remember that this is a different author than the first three books, so of course the writing style and flow will be different. Lagercrantz does a great job and makes the characters his own, which in itself is no easy feat considering the mastery of Stieg Larsson. I really enjoyed this book.

As with the previous books in the series: Saul Reichlin does an amazing job as the narrator.

Doesn't quite hit the mark

The plot had promise but it just is too convenient with just in time saves. The author should have spent more time developing the characters rather than just chasing sensational situations.
Pitty.

I almost abandoned the book because of the poop performance

I love the millennium series and I was so eager to finally get to listen to the book. I got so disappointed with the horrible performance of the reader. He pronounces all the names differently, his diction and timing is really off. I struggled to listen to the book and almost dropped it altogether.

David Lagercrantz does an excellent job of continu

David Lagercrantz does an excellent job of continuing the Steig Larsen trilogy and securing a place in my top tier of writers. Narrated by one of the all time best narrators Saul Reichlin what could be better? How much more punishment can Lisbeth Salander take? Look forward to the next one.

Tedious

I have enjoyed the dragon tattoo series but couldn’t finish this one. There was too much mundane detail and not enough interaction of the characters we’ve come to love

disappointing

awkward translation did not enjoy it...battled to finish it. won't be buying the next one

Why do I do this to myself?

I know it's not going to be anything like Millennium trilogy... Oh, did anybody wonder why he called it a trilogy?
