Excellent continuation of the series. Keep writing them and I’ll keep reading them!
dnf. neprecīzi citējot recenziju IR, kas precīzi citē kādu citu - "acis lasa, kamēr smadzenes guļ". tēli neaizrauj, nav spriedzes, nav ne jausmas, ko autors ar šo (izņemot naudu) ir gribējis panākt un nav vairs ne kripatas Stīga Lārsona prasmes saintriģēt un noturēt uzmanību.
I was a little nervous to read after reading reviews, but this book was a great addition to the series. I feel like I'm in Sweden when I read these books and I enjoy the characters so much.
more like a fan fiction of this series, it shares characters but it’s not the same. it struggles with a jumbled timeline and finding its footing. it lacks the tone that made the first three books what they are. still an enjoyable read though, especially if you love the characters
Easily the worst in the saga so far. There are some fairly noteworthy moments (such as the opening scene in the women’s prison)- but all in all, it feels clumsily slapped together with a mish mash of totally implausible plot lines.
The dialogue between the characters is cringeworthy and would feel more at home in a teenage crime novel.
The action sequences are few and far between and leave so much to be desired by yet again being totally unrealistic. Salander is portrayed as a superhuman Amazon woman beating huge men and women to a pulp where past novels described her strength lying in her cunningness.
Not a terrible read, but fans of the original series will be disappointed.

I was on the fence with Spider's Web, but after reading this my firm recommendation to anyone new to the series is to ignore the Lagercrantz books and call it done after Larsson's original trilogy.
I liked it but didn't love it. I didn't realize this was the fifth book, skipped right over number 4!
It felt a bit like Salander is being diluted. Is she growing up, or is the author not interested in her?
Will have to track down number 4!

It's amazing how Lagercrantz has mimicked Larsson's writing style, I have enjoyed both of his books so far. I thought this one was fast paced and further developed the characters I've come to love in the previous four books. He weaves the basics that Larsson started with his own twists that create great story plots with modern topics and that we see on the news everyday.

"You see your own evil in others."
The definition of puerile is "Childish and silly"... That and the quote sum this book up.
What I liked: If you are looking for fairly fast paced action, and not much else, this is it.
What I didn't like: Much. The Millenium Triolgy was a tour de force... It had passion, true to life characters and a voice. Even Lagercrantz's first outing strayed toward this philosophy. 'Eye for an Eye' lacks any of the seminal spark the Larsson gave. The plot (and outcome) are disjointed. The male protagonist (Blomkvist) is reduced to a toady that is more concerned with who he will be sleeping with that night than the crime at hand. And once the bloody thing is put to bed, a ridiculous set up for the third installment is Hail Mary-ed at the last moment with a possible future...
A fan? Great. Enjoy!
Not sure? Don't bother with the next installment. Judging from this, it is sure to disappoint.

Decently written but this book feels like it has the lowest stakes of any of the other books. Never really feels like it gains any momentum. Things just sorta trundle along to the ending which sorta plops out on the ground
