As with the Larsson trilogy, most of the plot is character driven. I remind myself that this is an imitator's extrapolation in translation and, from that perspective, it is pretty good. Although the jargon in chapter 5 is not technically incorrect, it reads like the "I know UNIX" (paraphrased) line from the original Jurassic Park movie ... Lisbeth would not have explained it herself that way and she would not have had to hack Blomkvist's computer again since she was already mirroring it. In fact, I was disappointed that Lagercrantz has elevated Lisbeth from an understated mystery to mythic proportions that are frankly less believable. This escalation may prove to be a problem for the next book.
