Sustained Silent Reading: 'Midnight Sun"....

This week in "Power to the People" --one of our subject that we will have this term-- we are currently starting Sustained Silent Reading. This means that throughout this subject we will be sustaining a reading book and writing about the experiences that we have whilst reading the book that we have chosen. The book that I have chosen is titled, "Midnight Sun"; the author, Jo Nesbo. The blurb (a sentence) of the book is, "Jon is on the run. He has betrayed Oslo's biggest crime lord: The Fisherman".  It has been quite a while since I have bought this book, however, I am only reading it now, currently, I am engrossed into looking at crime novels, movies, generally crime topic. The first impression of it, the writing style of the author is quite to my liking. It is on the viewpoint of the main character which is, Jon as mentioned in the blurb.  The progress that has been made, is that Jon is currently in a place called, Kasund. In the first pages, it seems as if he is hiding, it is heavily hinted that he is hiding. Though it has not been introduced, who he is running away from, however, as seen in the burb it must be The Fisherman.

The following actions and plot movement that have been happening in the story have been quite mellow. The story progressed in a manner in which the characters are being introduced and having their first interactions. The progression also has given us some insight into the personality of each of the characters for example 'Knut' which a character with a young age. 'Knut' is a kid in the story where he represents that of a young, simple-minded and direct character.
Moving on, the settings and the placements paint a picture in my head. The plot is slowly introduced and is moving on, the reasons are steadily shown and the conflict is progressing.
So far, I have found the story quite interesting; I have enjoyed how each of the characters is introduced as well as how each is personified.  The writing style is also to my liking, being detailed and somehow resembles that of how I like to write as well.

The following days that I have been reading this book has been very quite progressive. The detail and the plot are really coming together. The relationships between the character are becoming better and being closer to each other. Now with the main character, Knut and "Ulf" [MC] are becoming closer,  as if I can somehow picture them having been known each other much longer than they have. They have an aura of "Ulf" being an uncle or really, like a big brother to Knut. After time about Knut and "Ulf" it is then given in the texts that, during this certain time, he has escaped death 100 hours ago. Then the following pages then began to explain 'The Fisherman' and his relation to "Ulf".

The next chapter focuses again on the relation of the characters specifically, Knut and John. For this "Ulf"  [John] talked about his grandfather to Knut; as well as Knut giving some insight on his life as well. Then later in the chapter we then looked further once more on the relation of the 'Fisherman' and John. It discusses one of the people that has "wronged" the 'Fisherman' and is then confronted by John who is now the 'Fisherman's' debt collector as John had killed the previous over problems.

It is then stated over a period of time that John regretted not killing Gustavo. He then thought that if he had killed him at the time, he would have twice the money that he got from him. As Gustavo, offered him money in return of his life being spared. This was then approved by John who could not kill anyone, having a conscience of when people begged for their life. The face that people make in these times cannot be resisted by John. Perhaps this would not be a good characteristic for those in this business.
