I recently
read the book LET THE RIGHT ONE In by
John Ajvide Lindovist, now released as the movie LET ME IN.
It is a good
read and a fair movie; but in order to appreciate the movie it is best to have
read the book first.
Unlike the normal
vampire story Lindovist presents a young girl vampire that is of undetermined
age but is physically twelve years old for eternity; and a relationship she
forms with a young boy living in her apartment building, who is the target of
school bullies.
This is a
fascinating premise. A twelve year old cannot
control wealth or own property; she is restricted by all the laws and norms a
society places on children; and yet she must survive in an adult world.
A
provocative book and movie. If you
like this genre….
