Helpful Score: 1
Gritty and difficult to read emotionally. I agree that the ending started to get "weird" but...given the increase in Columbine-type school shootings, this book sort of fits into modern time. The book casually drops references to child abuse, pedophiles, drug use among teens, and alcoholism- all of which make life in Sweeden (or Norway? forgive me for drawing a blank on the setting) sound quite bleak and hopeless. Did I mention this book is about vampires? But they are not the sparkly/sexy teenybopper vampires of the 21st century- thankfully!
By the way, the original movie interpretation is quite true to the book. Hopefully the American remake will also do justice (though i doubt it...)
