Millennium, Book 7

De: Karin Smirnoff, Sarah Death - translator

Narrado por: Kajsa Mohammar

A chilling DRAGON TATTOO thriller

Change is coming to Sweden's far north: its untapped natural resources are sparking a gold rush with the criminal underworld leading the charge. But it's not the prospect of riches that brings Lisbeth Salander to the small town of Gasskas. She has been named guardian to her niece Svala, whose mother has disappeared. Two things soon become clear: Svala is a remarkably gifted teenager ­- and she's being watched.

Mikael Blomkvist is also heading north. He has seen better days. Millennium magazine is in its final print issue, and relations with his daughter are strained. Worse still, there are troubling rumours surrounding the man she's about to marry. When the truth behind the whispers explodes into violence, Salander emerges as Blomkvist's last hope.

A pulse-pounding thriller, The Girl in the Eagle's Talons sees Salander and Blomkvist navigating a world of conspiracy and betrayal, old enemies and new friends, snow-bound wilderness and the global corporations that threaten to tear it apart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Lisbeth Salander is back - and maybe better than ever. Karin Smirnoff's take is both respectful of the past and ready for the future - altogether remarkable. (Lee Child)

Fresh, fearless, faithful and original. Karin Smirnoff takes on a heady challenge and makes a stylish, exciting and truly worthy statement. One of the great crime series of our time could not be in safer, more capable hands. I loved it. (Chris Whitaker)

An absolute incident-packed thrill-ride from start to finish. Karin has taken on the legacy of a legend and done the series justice. (Jo Spain)

Good story but dreadful reader

The story is ok. But it is absolutely marred by the terrible monotone of the reader. One cannot tell when the story changes from one scene to the next. Every character sounds the same as the next. It's like listening to Christopher Lee on a bad day.

Entertaining, but very simple, straight line plot.

The book is entertaining and has some decent points. But overall it’s predictable and very linear. No twists or turns, just a simple highway. Some ridiculous points too, like the moment they’re googling using a grenade… really? Lots of open threads which leaves me thinking more books are planned. Hope the author tries harder. The narrator is just awful. Sounds like she’s narrating the book in a monotone emotionless whisper. Had to raise the volume to ridiculous levels to understand her and pretty sure I missed a word here and there. Almost gave up on the book more than once because of the narrator. I might read/ hear another millennium book as long as Kajsa doesn’t narrate.

not as good as previous books in millennium series

Less well written than previous books, Mikael is not very much involved. Relationship between Mikhael and Salander very strange. New information about the far north of Sweden. Strange to have all the old protagonist in the same place by pure luck. Strange end with everybody disappearing and want to get away to forget no conclusion (yet).

How bad it was

It was not like the rest of the series at all. More like little house in the prairie on steroids. To soppy in places and characters are weak and unrealistic. Was bored all the way through. Ending a let down too. If you after a fan of the millennium series, don’t waste your credits on this. You will be disappointed.

extremely bad

The narrator is the worst i have ever listened to.
The story is also far from the level the other 6 books were at.
