scottlukaswilliams 's review for:
The Girl Who Lived Twice
by David Lagercrantz
This has got some interesting bits and it’s a quick and entertaining read, but it doesn’t measure up against the original trilogy. For one, I feel like Lisbeth has almost been made a secondary character. We don’t see much of her here, and what we do see is rather passive and uninteresting.
The story is really focused on Blomkvist. Something I find fascinating about these books is how important the fourth estate seems to be in Sweden. I’m not well-informed enough to know whether this is actually the case, but in this book it seems that everyone knows the names of journalists and that there are myriad important print news sources. It’s just not the kind of thing we see or hear much of in North America.
