Little Star by John Ajvide Lindqvist
3.0
Lindqvist writes a stunningly disturbing book and does it through the eyes of young teenage girls. The fact that he can write from this viewpoint is testament enough to his skills as a writer, but the way he handles the disillusionment and loneliness of being an early teen girl is masterful. His taste in and use of gore didn't leave me with any complaints, either.
My only criticism would be that this book peaks after the first few chapters and then there is a long, hard slog until you reach the crescendo. While this builds a strong psychological base for the story, so much graphic action early in the novel left me dissatisfied with the then relatively calm middle chunk of this book.
However if you have a taste for a well-written, psychologically-disturbing and stomach-churning book, you are in luck--Lindqvist has produced just that.
