I enjoyed this one much more than Handling the Undead, which I thought was too slow-paced and seemed to lack real stakes. Deals with themes of bullying and adolescent isolation which readers of Let The Right One In will find familiar. Lindqvist is quickly rising in my ranks of horror writers. I find his books to be eminently readable. My one complaint is a lack of a wrapped-up ending-the book sort of just stops at the end of a climactic scene. Recommended regardless.
