I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. It went from entertaining to boring and to finally be one of the best of the series so far. I can only compare it to a gigantic puzzle of hundreds of pieces, the one you need a strong will to put together. When I started reading I thought it was going to be another mystery in which Mikael's and Lisbeth's paths would cross again.
While the first book has a lot of details of Mikael's life; the second one is centered around Lisbeth's. You get to know this character so well that you understand why she did those things and acted that way.
Why boring?
Well, like the first one, Larsson gave too many details about minor characters.
The story is perfect without knowing if one of detectives is married or not. Unfortunately, it's the kind of detail that makes you quit the book.
Hopefully, he manages to get you hooked in the story again, and you begin to question yourself even what you know.
I tried to put together all the pieces and anticipate the end from the beginning, or at least, all the twists in the book, but “Zala”..., ufff, his role in the book is the icing on the cake.
