Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. Swedish dude is an amazing writer. There were a lot of characters in the book, but he described and developed them so well that it wasn't distracting like it can be in other novels. I was however a bit disturbed by his seeming obsession with erections, pedophilia and gay sex. Fortunately there was enough other stuff going on in the story that it never stopped me from reading. I just kind of blazed through those parts while trying to minimize the creep-out factor.

Oskar is adorable. Eli is icky. Hakan is super icky. And Jonny, well you just want to punch Jonny in the face.

I could see myself rereading this book, just because I felt like there were some things I may have missed the first time around. And now I'm excited to watch the movie. :)
