Parallels

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a very intense novel, rich in detail and dialogue. To the avid readers of our English class, this book by Steig Larsson is similar to The Kite Runner. It’s rich in plot and character development however, where the kite runner takes off in a faster in the beginning of the story TGDT is a slow developing story. Along with the character development there is the diction of Larsson that is on par with Hossein’s style. Besides the Kite Runner there isn’t much that can compare to TGDT, because of its intense style and great length.

Michael Blomkvist is a journalist who starts his career by catching a group of bank robbers who the police could not catch. Blomkvist is forced to go to court however early in his career on charges of publishing libeous material. Blomkvist is sentenced to three months and jail and faces a fine. Blomkvist is the publisher of millenium magazine. I think within the next few chapters Blomkvist will go back to his succesful job and continue his work. I think he will be forced to pay a minimal fine. As long as he stays out of trouble he should have no problem with dealing with the law.
