Took me forever to finish this book and i’m the time since I started, I watched the movie and that might have been a mistake lol the amount of POV jumping that this does, does not work well with my brain. It was like impossible for me to get invested in the characters or story if it wasn’t Eli or Oskar at least because there was just too many other people. I also was not a fan of how…not atmospheric this was. Felt like I was just reading things happening, not FEELING anything which is crazy because this is a vampire story. I was expecting chills of some kind. Eli is absolutely FASCINATING though! I enjoyed quite a bit of this book, just not as much as I hoped. Was well-written, just maybe not my preferred style.

Twelve-year-old Oskar is tired of being tormented at school, so when a strange new girl named Eli moves in next door—who only comes out at night and doesn’t seem quite…normal—he thinks maybe revenge has finally arrived.
Unfortunately, Let the Right One In didn’t do much for me. Maybe it’s a translation issue, or maybe it just wasn’t my style, but I found the pacing painfully slow and the story scattered. The atmosphere should have been eerie and intense, but instead it dragged, with too many side characters and subplots pulling focus.
It had potential, but I was left more confused than creeped out—and mostly just ready for it to be over.

For a book about a child vampire and her odd friendship with a lonely boy, it was surprisingly lifeless.It had potential, but I was left more confused than creeped out—and mostly just ready for it to be over.
