Recensione : Pur non essendo un amante del genere horror, ho trovato molto piacevole la lettura di questo romanzo, caratterizzato da una struttura narrativa e un ritmo tale da tener incollato il lettore al libro. Una storia ambigua all’inizio ma, una volta capita la vera “natura” dei personaggi, tutto tende a essere più chiaro. Ciò che in realtà emerge dalle pagine di “Laciami entrare” è una bella la storia di amicizia tra i due ragazzi protagonisti, che riesce ad oltrepassare tutte le barriere e le distanze create dalle differenze “etniche” e dai contesti sociali e familiari. Alcuni passi sono caratterizzati da descrizioni abbastanza crude ma mai tali da trascendere con il solo scopo di impressionare il lettore. Da questo libro è stato tratto un film dal titolo omonimo. Un buon libro, ben scritto e adatto anche a chi non e’ strettamente un cultore del genere.

Book Description :
It is autumn 1981 when the inconceivable comes to Blackeberg, a suburb in Sweden. The body of a teenage boy is found, emptied of blood, the murder rumored to be part of a ritual killing. Twelve-year-old Oskar is personally hoping that revenge has come at long last—revenge for the bullying he endures at school, day after day.
But the murder is not the most important thing on his mind. A new girl has moved in next door—a girl who has never seen a Rubik’s Cube before, but who can solve it at once. There is something wrong with her, though, something odd. And she only comes out at night. . . .
Sweeping top honors at film festivals all over the globe, director Tomas Alfredsson’s film of Let the Right One In has received the same kind of spectacular raves that have been lavished on the book. American readers of vampire fiction will be thrilled!
Review :
Even if I am not a lover of the horror books, I simply found enjoyable reading this novel, with a narrative structure and a rate that take the reader glued to the book. An ambiguous story at first, but once you understand the nature of the characters, it tends to be more clear. There is a beautiful story of friendship between the two young protagonists, who manages to cross all barriers and distances created by the different “ethnic” and familiar contexts. Some steps are characterized by descriptions quite raw but never likely to transcend the sole purpose of impressing the reader. Since this book, was made into a film with the same title. A good book, well written and well suited for those who are not strictly fans of this genre.
