I had wanted to read this book, since I saw the movie trailer in 2010. The movie trailer was so disturbing and intriguing, that I felt that I had to read the book first. I'm a horror movie lover, so it was hard to hold off from watching it but I'm glad I did. I recommended that my book club read this book (mostly because I really wanted to read it and I don't think they have touched much into horror or even fantasy for that matter). I'm going to predict that most of my book club will not enjoy this book as much as I did, for the same reasons that they did not enjoy the rather "disturbing" parts in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Let the Right One In is filled with them. It is also a lengthier book, needing more commitment, sitting at 472 pages. Why I loved it: This is going to sound odd but I've always had a fascination with darkness and vampires (not the Twilight variety, as this book is far from Twilight). But this is not just a vampire book. This book, unlike many of its genre, addresses many issues. It addresses: bullying, pedophilia, alcoholism, prostitution, revenge, identity, and much more. That alone blew me away and made me appreciate the author's ability to create such a dark horror and send some messages in the book. This is the second book I have read, which was first published in Sweden (the first being The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and so far I'm seeing a trend, that Swedish authors do not hold back on the gritty parts. For it is gritty, dark, gruesome, revealing, and does not hold back. I love an author that will not hold back and is not afraid of what the public might think. He/she just writes, no holds barred. What is particularly fascinating about this book is that none of the characters are really likeable. They generally all do something bad or just don't have likeable personalities. Yet Lindqvist wrote in a way that made me concerned for them, made me want to know more about them. I say "them" because there are a lot of characters in this book. Normally I hate when an author throws in so many characters (ie the last Twilight book, where she threw them in all at once). However, he introduces them in the progression that we meet them. We get to know them and it becomes easy to understand each character and each individual plot line. It is a constant flip to different characters but he flips to them when the time is right. Lindqvist is great at characterization and at creating a setting. Boy did I get a picture of that setting and that city in my head. I think you have to have a good carved out setting in a horror to really get into it. His writing was rather poetic and though I have not read (at least completely through) a Stephen King novel I understand why he is hailed as Sweden's Stephen King. I really just loved every bit of this book. I sat for hours on end reading and reading, engulfed in it. It is one of those books, in my opinion, that you either really don't get into or you do. This book was definitely for me and I do agree with other reviewers who said that Lindqvist set the bar in this genre. Now to go and watch the movie...

For some reason I didn't like this one as much as the first one. The heroine could have used a little more heroics. Cara was very predictable, but still a good story overall. I wish she was introduced in the first book, because it felt like she just infultrated the circle of already established characters in the first chapter. It was like "Here I am, take me or leave me". We didn't get a chance to really meet Cara until halfway through the book. I just wish there was a little slower of an introduction with her. She was still great and I already have book #3 out and ready to go.

Very enjoyable autobiography by the "Queen of Daytime". Just a warning, it is not told chronologically, bounces around a lot, but it's great to learn so much about the workings of LaLucci's life.

Not my favorite Scarpetta book. Too predictable and very slow.

I read this a long time ago, long enough ago that reading it again made it almost new for me. I have to say, it's not a keeper. But I also have to say, it was a good warning for us. I read about the enforced sex education of the children and thought about our public school system and how detailed that's getting to be- heck, even about past pediatricians who rather assume a child must be sexually active, and look upon them, their negative assertions, and their parents with professional disbelief; isn't teen sex nothing but a medical issue that must be addressed? The overload of fake sensory input in the book, the social norm of never being alone, the games and entertainment hysteria to prevent thoughts, the anti-reading, the social economic imperative that everyone must consume...some form or other of these exists today. The worst part is how often I encounter it from those who represent authority figures in our society. And then I consider how other authority figures have been sidelined- the elderly, for instance. Mothers and fathers. How about middle aged women(gasp!)? People who represent experience. The entire aspect of genetic and embryonic manipulation was almost too horrific for me. Someone, somewhere, is trying to do this now: genetic manipulation for gender, appearance, whatever. There's eliminating disease, but then there's 'improving' someone according to some worldly standard. Besides all my ranting, I also felt badly for John the Savage in the book. What a mess his life was. He was the closest to finding truth, and yet some times, so very far from it. Well, time for something else to read, something that constructs and doesn't just deconstruct. Feeling a bit depressed here. Farenheit 451 didn't do this to me a couple weeks ago. Sometimes it's just a matter of timing. >SPOILER< Sometimes it's the difference between a main character going and hanging himself in the last pages as in Brave New World, and another main character finding others who have fled Babylon, but also intend to help her when she falls to war, as in Farenheit 451. That may be the biggest complaint I have about BNW: deconstruction as its own end. Still, I hope folks read it and learn to recognize the early steps we've taken towards such a world. It's not being American that is shameful, it's having known better and then turned away from that. I've come back to add one more note: my copy of the book (from the 60s?) had an incredible foreword in it. I started with that and had to stop after I finished, it was that good. I didn't start the actual book until the next day. But the fiction was underwhelming after that foreword. I never found forewords that compelling, but I will be paying more attention to them in the future. This one addressed issues as a writer, the nature of story telling, politics, morals, totalitarianism, mass media, lowest common denominator culture, and so much more. Here are a couple quotes: "Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean" "Today I feel no wish to demonstrate that sanity is impossible" "A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude" "Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth" The book goes on to illustrate each of these pretty well.

This book felt a bit recycled -- a marriage between several other plots. Despite its unoriginality, it was an okay read. There were definite plot holes, and many of the characters felt so contrived. But I did finish reading it and I am going to read on in the series, eventually. The book was a quick read, and did keep my attention. So 3 stars. But I could easily put the book down even at the exciting parts, so not 3.5 stars.
