Let the Right One In

I have no clue how this book won awards. Granted it hit the mark on creepy, disturbing and weird, but award winning? No. First off the vampire concept made no sense to me. Yes ok, the author tried an original take, but it just didn't add up for me. Now let's talk about the book as a whole. The beginning was promising. Internal conflicts, a disturbed child and a creepy murderer hovering in the background. This all built itself into a Stephen King like feel, but then the middle came. Where I have no idea what happened other than  being subject to disturbing dark sexual displays and internal monologs from characters I didn't care about. In fact I felt like the whole pack of drinkers were just extra. They didn't contribute to the story progression much. The only characters I even wanted to hear about were Oskar and Eli, but by the end of the book I was struggling to even care about them as well. The ending was predictable and left me unsatisfied. There was too little explained and a bunch of questions left hovering about. Not an author I will continue to read.
