surfpark 's review for:
The Girl Who Played with Fire
by Stieg Larsson
"Kalle F*cking Blomkvist"
Who hasn't read this book and memorized that line? This thriller is different than the previous in the series, [b:The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo|2429135|The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)|Stieg Larsson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327868566l/2429135._SX50_.jpg|1708725], which unravels more like a traditional mystery novel. Rather, this book is a parallel thriller, following the actions of Mikael and the police force in one narrative, with Lisbeth and the criminal underworld in the other.
I've read some reviews that highlight the obvious allusions to Swedish writer [a:Astrid Lindgren|410653|Astrid Lindgren|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1194544214p2/410653.jpg]'s characters, with Mikael being a the stated analogy of detective whiz kid Kalle, and Lisbeth being similar to the carefree/no rules Pippi Longstocking. Both seem to be grown-up versions of these characters, but nothing else from the plot directly supports this.
If you're already past the first book, and possibly past this one, you'll likely keeping going. This book serves as a great second act to the trilogy and it makes me want to learn what happens next.
