The Girl in the Spider's Web

I initially wanted a criticize the book for having a bland writing style, but the same could also be said of the previous Salander books. There's the same unnecessarily detailed focus on brand names and food and drink, but Stieg Larsson's writing had an energy to it, even when he was spending to much time describing coffee or sandwiches. The writing here lacks that energy. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a fascinating and engaging read, even when it's just Blomkvist examining old photos. The Girl in the Spider's Web is never that entertaining. Salander is barely present in the first half of the book, and even though our faithful hero Blomkvist is still present t throughout the novel, it takes a while before he actually starts doing something. This book is a disappointment. It doesn't deserve to be called the fourth book of the Millennium series.
