This was just as great on the re-read/re-listen (switched between reading and audio) as it was the first time last year. <3

This was a middle school favorite I recently listened to on audio. Still a cute story. <3

I listened to this book on Audio and it was quite good. Almost as good as the original trilogy. There were moments when I could tell this was a ghost writer, but on the whole, Lagercrantz channeled Stieg Larsson very well. Very highly recommended for Lisbeth fans!

Well-written and engaging! It is definitely the most explicit mystery I've ever read, but the prose matches the characters, in equal measure gritty and elegant dependent on who is talking. I definitely enjoyed it, and it kept me guessing to the end!

This book was gripping and difficult to read at times. The emotions and thoughts of a victim of childhood sexual abuse were spot-on and psychologically grounded. What doesn't make this review a 4 or a 5 is that I would love for it to have explored more deeply the roles of the father/abuser and the mother, rather than painting them as rather one-dimensional.

Wow. This was an amazing, amazing, amazing book. It made me think in new ways about culture and growing up and change. It introduced me to race in America through foreign eyes. I listened to it on audio book, which allowed me to enjoy it without tripping over foreign names, but I am now looking forward to getting the book in print and reading it again because there was SO much about race I wanted to savor, and savoring is hard when you're in the car while listening to it. It was just amazing. So real, so raw, so honest. It pulled no punches, and the characters were anything but Mary-Sue-esque. They were multi-faceted and flawed and beautiful. Love was constructed, deconstructed, dissected, put back together again. Mental health was examined from an outside perspective. Culture was talked about on every page. Amazing. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
