Let Me In

Why picked this book...

Let Me In

I loved the cover!  No, I didn't notice that the girl doesn't have any footsteps

and the boy does.... No, I didn't notice she is standing in a little pool of

blood... and No, I had no idea it was about vampires otherwise I probably

wouldn't have picked this book up....

I have read enough vampire books for the next 20 years I would say, so

I prefer something without vampires/werewolves etc!!! But I REALLY

liked the cover!

Pretty quick I found out it was indeed about vampires but it was also about

a friendship between two kids (or they seem to be kids anyway) and the most

interesting part, it's also about bullying, hmmm that's a hard word to spell,

anyway you know what I'm talking about. Hundreds of commercials on TV

and Dr Phil, Ellen and Oprah have devoted episodes on bullying and this book

just grabs the essence of bullying and what it does to the victims.

The book was difficult to read, difficult to understand and very sad but

i loved the end and i think it was a wonderful story.

I got this book at Walmart for 11.19 two weeks ago and i thought

that was a good deal.

Overall i would rate this book at an 8 and if the author writes more

books, even if they are about vampires i would read them again.

I wouldn't give this book as a gift to somebody who never reads and is
NOT into the vampire stuff, but if they are and they like to read, it's

a little treasure to have on your bookshelf.

Favorite passage in the book;

And running right through this there was an underlying anger at the fact

that one person, one single person, could have the power to dominate

so many people's lives simply through his evil and his... ability to

stave off death.
