Editorial Review: Product Description: Let the Right One In Takes Top Honors at Tribeca Film Festival! It is autumn 1981 when the inconceivable comes to Blackeberg, a suburb in Sweden. The body of a teenage boy is found, emptied of blood, the murder rumored to be part of a ritual killing. Twelve-year-old Oskar is personally hoping that revenge has come at long last---revenge for the bullying he endures at school, day after day. But the murder is not the most important thing on his mind. A new girl has moved in next door---a girl who has never seen a Rubik’s Cube before, but who can solve it at once. There is something wrong with her, though, something odd. And she only comes out at night. . . . Sweeping top honors at film festivals all over the globe, director Tomas Alfredsson’s film of Let the Right One In has received the same kind of spectacular raves that have been lavished on the book. American readers of vampire fiction will be thrilled! Average Rating:

She hadn't read the book yet and was thrilled to get it. She's read it and thinks the book is fantastic! Rating: - Excellent novel, somewhat unique"Let the Right One In" stood out because of its unique take on a relatively beaten to death genre.

It is almost capable to forgive the vampire for putting some of the characters out of their misery. That being said, one criticism I've seen crop up regarding this ...

Do not think that because you saw the movie you know everything that will happen in this book. A lot of unanswered questions I had about the movie were, to my delight, answered by this book. The story took me on an emotional ride through the relationship between Oscar and Eli. This relationship has very interesting and thought provoking twists, without which the story would be nothing. The story, although ending with ... Read More Rating: - The right oneThe most engaging fiction (aside from the typical memoirsy stuff I read that may or may not be fiction) I've read in a long time. Lindqvist weaves an intricate and elaborate tale of friendship between a boy Oscar and a girl Eli (who is quickly revealed to be a vampire) through the perspectives of the two main characters, a pretty full cast of supporting characters and the town of Blackeberg itself. As you see the relationship between Oscar and Eli unfold, a series of gruesome attacks also take place around ...

It's worth to review the store again by reading the novel after film watching. "Absolutely chilling" I have no doubt. Browse for similar items by category:
