Summary
The girl with the dragon tattoo is not given to forgiveness.
Lisbeth Salander has been forged by a brutal childhood and horrific abuse. And repeated attempts on her life.
The ink embedded in her skin is a constant reminder of her pledge to fight against the injustice she finds on every side.
Confinement to the secure unit of a women's prison is intended as a punishment. Instead, Lisbeth finds herself in relative safety. Flodberga is a failing prison, effectively controlled by the inmates, and for a computer hacker of her exceptional gifts there are no boundaries.
Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains, one that could provide an important exposé for Millennium: Salander tells him to check out Leo Mannheimer, a seemingly reputable stockbroker from Stockholm, somehow connected to the long-ago death of a child psychologist - and to the psychiatric unit where Lisbeth was an involuntary patient as a child.
Lisbeth knows she is coming closer to solving the mysteries of her early life, and even within the confines of the prison, she feels the deadly influence exerted by her twin sister. She cannot stand by as racial and religious conflicts run unchecked amongst the community around her, manipulated by criminal forces far beyond the prison walls.
Salander will stand up for what she believes in. She will find out the truth. Whatever the cost...
The tension, power and unstoppable force of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye are inspired by Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, as Salander and Blomkvist continue the fight for justice that has thrilled millions of readers across the world.
Translated from the Swedish by George Goulding.

Not as good as the others
This book was ok, but the narrator sounds really old, which doesn’t suit the story. The plot itself is quite interesting but it certainly didn’t grab me the way the first three - and to a certain extent - the fourth, did. I don’t regret buying it, I was just a little disappointed.

Salander by Numbers
Having enjoyed the rest if the Millennium series I was keen to listen on, but it did feel like the writer had been given a list of elements to include. I suppose that it's much like a James Bond film. I can't be the only listener who wanted to shout, 'For Heaven's sake grow a pair!' at the central male twins who spend most of the story dithering about. Buy it if it on offer.

Doesn’t live up to prior books in the series
I’ve loved the character of Lisbeth Salander. But in this book there are no new elements. I think if the series is to live on there needs to be more dimension to her and other characters. The repetition of previous bad guys also feels a little predictable. However I enjoyed the tale.

Still not convinced by this narrator.
The story is quite compelling but I know that I would not read it like the narrator does. In particular, he makes Lusbeth sound too girly and desperate. This is not the vision I have of her!

It was ok.
Some characters from the previous books have disappeared without explanation. And pronounce the characters names the same way for better continuity.

excellent! riveting from the start!
enjoyed the story as well as the narration. Soul Reichlin brings out the finer aspects of the characters through his voice modulation and breathes life into them.

almost but not quite....
unlike the other books in the series this book lacks depth in the story and was predictable. it is well read by the narrator however there is something missing. not sure I will read any more in the series by Lagercrantz which is a shame as I loved the first three.
