Let the Right One In

A great read for me. Difficult to put down. I attribute that to the short chapters, relentless pace, and continuously shifting viewpoints. This is head-hopping done right. Lindqvist uses 3rd-person omniscient to jump from one character to another spinning a yarn that is both horrific and compelling. Much, much more than a typical vampire story, this book delves deeply into the human condition on multiple levels.

I have watched both versions of the film in the past and there are a few significant differences between the book and the movie but all the major elements - in characters and events - are there in both media.

Highly recommend both the book and film, (but I suggest not bothering with the American remake of the film - it's not nearly as good as the original Swedish version).
