A murder mystery inside an espionage conspiracy wrapped in an
action thriller-a unique concoction that should leave Salander's
legion of followers clamoring for more
*Wall Street Journal*
Larsson had grand ambitions for his Millennium series, projecting a
total of 10 novels. In Lagercrantz's hands, the series is realizing
grand ambitions of another sort.
*Washington Post*
He has developed Larsson's rage at right-wing perfidy and men who
hate women, mixing it with his ability to depict physical beauty
and superhuman survival skills to create fast-paced thrillers . . .
The Girl Who Lived Twice is both exciting and disturbing
*Literary Review*
Lagercrantz's compassion for the underdog adds genuine emotion to
his baroque plotting. There is much to admire in the way he has
grasped a tricky assignment - to continue one of the biggest hits
of recent years. Roll on the next "girl"
*South China Morning Post*
Salander is centre-stage again in Lagercrantz's latest sequel . . .
This is a pacy read . . . while still finding room for some nice
eccentric touches
*Sunday Express*
David Lagercrantz is a pro. This is stylish, straight forward,
classic Swedish crime . . . supporting characters are distinctly
illustrated, larger than life . . . the dialogue is voluble; full
of knives, Berettas, rich Russians and divinely gifted hackers.
*Svenska Dagbladet*
A book to devour . . . Difficult, or near impossible to put down,
the plot is lavish, complex, remarkably well-composed and filled
with unbearable suspense in certain places
*Le Parisien*
Salander is what she's always been: a force to be reckoned with,
and one of the most remarkable series leads in the history of crime
fiction. Salander fans, who long ago put aside any misgivings about
Lagercrantz taking over the Millennium series, will be eager to
follow the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as she attempts to sweep
clean her family closet.
*Booklist*
A tantalizing ending hints at important changes for Blomkvist and
Lisbeth ahead. Series fans will be pleased with the thoughtful way
Lagercrantz develops the character of their beloved action heroine
in this worthy outing.
*Publishers Weekly*
The Girl Who Lived Twice is the sixth, last and best from Stieg
Larsson's universe. It is a vivacious and suitable conclusion of
the Millennium saga
*Aftenposten*
David Lagercrantz has with professionalism and respect consolidated
Lisbeth Salander as an archetype of current pop culture, and at the
same time written very entertaining novels.
*La Vanguardia*
The result will satisfy any Lagercrantz fans, since the story goes
on without pause until the last page, where the author uses
fireworks to surprise the reader.
*El Periodico*
A great novel made of twists and turns, cliffhangers and detailed
researches. Lagercrantz . . . An accomplished and elegant style . .
. One of the most beautiful and innovative series of the last two
decades.
*La Repubblica*
Lagercrantz perfectly knows how to embrace the atmosphere and the
suspense of the Stieg Larsson saga.
*Corriere della Sera*
[A] fast-paced adventure
*Irish Independent*
