– "Let The Right One In" is a Swedish horror novel that has been translated into English for a wider audience. It has also been made into a foreign language film and is considered to be very mature and adult in nature, dealing as it does with the legend of the vampire in ways that have seldom been done before. Oskar is a twelve year old boy who is victim to some paticulary nasty bullying. These bullies make his life hell and Oskar becomes a very isolated and lonely boy. Then, one night, he meets Eli at the playground outside his building and learns she has moved into the apartment next door. Instantly the two form a strong bond of friendship that nothing can come between, and Oskar slowly develops the strength of will and confidence to stand up to his tormentors. But something else is afoot in the local area and suddenly bodies are turning up dead and drained of blood. "Let The Right One In" is a truly scary, intense and dramatic novel about the legend of vampires, it makes "Twilight" into a children's novel. Solid writing and engaging plot! Don't let them in!

'The new Stephen King' The Times
Oskar and Eli. In very different ways, they were both victims. Which is why, against the odds, they became friends. And how they came to depend on one another, for life itself.
Oskar is a 12-year-old boy living with his mother on a dreary housing estate at the city's edge. He dreams about his absentee father, gets bullied at school, and wets himself when he's frightened.
Eli is the young girl who moves in next door. She doesn't go to school and never leaves the flat by day. She is a 200-year-old vampire, forever frozen in childhood, and condemned to live on a diet of fresh blood.
John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel is a unique and brilliant fusion of social novel and vampire legend, a deeply moving fable about rejection, friendship and loyalty.

– Dette er en meget merkelig og orginal bok. Man blir sugd inn i den fra første side, og vil føle avsky og spenning mens man leser denne boken. I denne boken treffer man mobbeofferet Oscar, eller grisen som han kalles på skolen. Han har få venner, men så en dag treffer han ei jente på lekeplassen og hun er ikke som andre. Og det er en morder løs i Blackeberg. Dette er en veldig uvanlig bok, det er vampyrer, mord, og en rekke andre ting som er spennende og ekkelt å lese om. Enkelte personer i boken føler man intens avsky mot, mens andre får du sympati for. Dette er en veldig spesiell bok, men den er morsom å lese.
