To this day, one of my favorite vampire stories. I watched the film when I was younger and still navigating who I was, and Eli's "I am not a boy, I am not a girl, I am nothing" speech has always struck something in me. I'm glad I finally got to know the full story.

For those of you that might be experiencing some of the same confusion that I was. [book:Let the Right One In|62107410] is a much darker version of the story and does not directly correspond to the movie Let Me In (2010), but instead corresponds to Let the Right One In (2008). I have only read this version and not yet the rewritten one, but from what I learned online, the rewritten story will probably be suited more towards sensitive audiences. Some of the triggers that I picked up on in [book:Let the Right One In|62107410] are:
• Pedophilia
• Blood
• Sexual assault
• Rape
• Violence
• Child abuse/death
• Animal death
• Stalking
<b>*This is not a complete list.*</b> And be aware, that there are very descriptive scenes from the POV of a character that is engaging in pedophilia. If this is something that you can't overlook, I think the other version of this story (from what I learned online) [book:Let Me In|7911377], might be more suited to you.
All of this being said, it was still a very well-written and enjoyable horror/vampire story but please beware of the content to decide which version is best for you.

The narration was a bit hard to follow, some of the accent choices for characters were random and distracting, and given that they did a good job pronouncing Swedish words and places I was confused! It wasn't always clear when the context changed which made the story hard to follow as we would change character often, and so I would lose the thread and get distracted - I'm disappointed I didn't enjoy it as much as other readers, I think this was why. I couldn't get lost in it.
It's disgusting, but gripping and interesting. The pace is choppy going from high drama to mundane quite sharply.
Sections start with quotes (which is a trait I don't enjoy) but I did smile to get a Bob Hund quote in there!
