A long long time ago, my 7th grade teacher suggested I catalog the books I read. I quit after a few years and have regretted that decision ever since. It's never too late to start anew. I have a habit of grading books and do so here.

The Girl Who Takes An Eye For An Eye, Lagercrantz - B
This is the fifth book in the Lisbeth Salander series and the second by this author, the official successor to Stieg Larsson. It continues the story of Lisbeth, ties together pieces from previous novels and, presumably, leaves open all sorts of future possibilities. The focus is on both Lisbeth and Blomquist uncovering a diabolical experiment involving twins. Decades earlier, a Swedish social/medical entity separated twins at birth in an effort to study the consequences of varied child-rearing circumstances. Those who managed the experiments work diligently to hide their history and protect each other. Tie in plot lines involving unassimilated Muslim immigrants and a particularly vicious criminal and you wind up with an enjoyable, but clearly not great, addition to the series.
