(no subject)
Oct. 30th, 2017 01:43 amI finished up No. 23 this morning before heading for bed.
I read the fifth installment in the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series.
"The Girl Who Takes An Eye For An Eye" by David Lagercrantz.
It was really good, but was kind of lacking in the main characters story telling.
The secondary characters had way much more time in the book, but at the same time it was building back story for Lizabeth. So while it wasn't about her, it helped, broadly, to tell her story.
Is that confusing enough?
Part of the problem for me is, at least in reviewing, I don't want to give anything away for those who may want to read these books. Because they are so worth reading. :)
