Javier Zavaleta

Reading this book was almost as painful as going to the dentists. The first 40 pages are poorly organized, confusing. Where are our main protagonists? The premises of the first books were believable exciting. I found this new book, the 7th in the series, to be unbelievable (walk in the snow, in sub-freezing temperature semi naked with no shows and survive??, Mikael Blomktvist depending of Faste to do the investigation??) and boring. The translation was odd, if didn’t flow well. The author is trying to do an Indiana Jones bit: introduce a younger look-alike protagonist to take the place of the much older and worn-out original hero. She fails at that task. This book does not work at all. I don’t recommend it. If you still want to read it, don't buy it. Instead, look at a near-by trash can and pick my copy.
