The Girl in the Spider's Web by David LagercrantzMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
OK, I finished it so I could find out how all the ends tied together, but this one wasn't nearly as fun to read as the trilogy that Larsson actually wrote, not as taut or complex. I sort of knew who the "doomed" character was as soon as I read the description: pretty much put on a red shirt and beam down to the planet with the Away Team. And the end was far, FAR too pat to be legit. I mean, Lizbeth is just too smart for that, and Mikail is a dog. A sweet dog with scratchable ears, but a dog.
But the little boy was fascinating. I wish the author had spent far more time on him, what makes him tick, what he thinks about, why math is so appealing to him....
Oh well. Moving on now.
