The Girl Who Lived Twice by David Lagercrantz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
There were multiple points while I was listening to this audiobook that I realized that the characters were narrating action that happened off-screen for an extended period of time. It is like listening to someone describe a movie in excruciating detail, even though you know most of what happens to begin with. The action seemed more limited than previous Salander books, replaced by dialog on past events. I am sensing a downward spiral. The ending involves superhuman physical activity and extreme pain thresholds. I don't think Fonzie has jumped the shark quite yet, but we are in that season.
