From Publishers Weekly

Swedish author Lindqvist's debut, a horror novel, offers few twists that won't already be familiar to readers of modern vampire fiction. Oskar, a much bullied 12-year-old schoolboy living in a Stockholm suburb, notices that his next-door neighbor, Eli, has some peculiar traits: Eli only comes out at night, smells like death warmed over and is of ambiguous gender. Eventually, Eli reveals he's a vampire who survives by feeding off the neighborhood lowlifes. Occasionally, his bite accidentally turns victims into undeads who, unaware of their vampirization, go on rampages that end in spectacularly gruesome fates. As sweet as the pure and wholesome friendship between Oskar and Eli may be, it's the gory set pieces that propel the predictable plot. (Oct.)

From Booklist

Swedish TV and stage writer Lindqvist's first novel is set in a commonplace suburb of Stockholm, where 12-year-old Oskar lives with his mother, is bullied at school, shoplifts, and keeps a scrapbook of notes and clippings about gruesome murders. Eli, apparently about his age, moves in next door but doesn't go to school, leaving the flat only at night. Shortly after, the killings start. At first more fascinated than sorry, since one victim had bullied him, Oskar eventually discovers that Eli is a vampire, stuck permanently in childhood. What should Oskar do, especially when Eli is his friend as much as anyone is? Lindqvist develops the plot in rich detail. The characters, adult and child, are quite convincingly the sort that one would probably cross the street to avoid in any city. Lindqvist also realistically depicts the aftermath of brutal homicide on the nearby: shock and horror, some sleepless nights and bad dreams, despite which you must go to work and get the groceries; eventually, the police leave the neighborhood.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Not-So-Innocent Kids, Aoû 19 2007
This review is from: Let the Right One in (Paperback)
I'd been anticipating this novel for quite some time, and not just because I'd booked to see the author at the Melbourne Writers' Festival. This tale is much more than just a vampire story. It has crime, social commentary, school life, parental issues, alcoholism and cats. It's so refreshing to read an urban fantasy novel that doesn't have the cliché kick-arse heroine. Instead, we have schoolboy Oskar, bullied relentlessly at school, who has a macabre fascination with murder. Eli, who's just moved next door, is like no one else Oskar's encountered for, and there's a good reason for that. Oskar and Eli are two of the most fascinating characters I've come across in a long time. The cat scenes are disturbing - the moral of the story being not to own eighteen cats. (I'm happy with just one.) The cruelty and violence of the kids is horrifying; forget the innocence you believe children have. An engrossing read that leaves me waiting for the author's second novel to be translated into English.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The perfect antidote to the urban fantasy cliche, Janv. 7 2009
This review is from: Let the Right One In: A Novel (Paperback)
I came across this book on a pure fluke, but I'm so glad I did. At first the book starts out like a typical murder mystery. But it starts taking twists and turns right away, like when we are introduced to the protagonist who's an unpopular, socially awkward boy who falls in love with a girl that's dirty and weird. Once we delve more into the book, the twists keep on coming as the girl's identity is revealed and the harshness of the world that the protagonist lives in.

I loved this book despite having some creepy moments and moments that made me exclaim outloud. It was very chilling, but it was a much welcome respite from the usual vampire romances that are full of cliches and gender inclusive romances. I recommend this book highly for people that want to read something that's realistic and a fresh perspective on an almost laughable and too cliched genre.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Heart-warming with a side of horror., Déc 7 2009
This review is from: Let the Right One In: A Novel (Paperback)
I love vampire fiction. I usually had to search really hard to find them (till Twilight created this vampire storm). But now I have to try and find good ones, which is far more frustrating.

Unfortunately I watched the movie directed by Tomas Alfredson first. By unfortunately, I mean that I like to read the book first, the movie was NOT a disappointment, I very much enjoyed it. Afterwards, when I was googling this movie to find where I could buy it I noticed the book. The next day I bought it, in two days it was devoured and I cannot praise this book enough.

After enduring love stories with sufficient eye-rolling on my part; this book surprised, shocked, disgusted and delighted me. It was far from a predictable read.

Oskar is a troubled, awkward twelve year old. He's bullied, ignored, strange and longing for a friend. When Eli comes along, the friendship slowly blossoms (it's not BAM, "oh you're hot and we must date because you're undead") it's frightening at first for Oskar when he discovers Eli's (at least one of many) secrets. But, the story isn't just focused on the two of them - though they are the main story - there are several other interesting characters who add to the story. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes horror/sci-fi/urban fantasy and/or vampires.

I avoid most vampire stories, let alone a vampire story with any kind of love, friendship and romance in it. Usually too far fetched or sappy. Read more
