I can’t believe it took me two weeks to finish this book, I gotta get back on top of my reading. And it wasn’t because it was bad, I just didn’t have the time or energy to read for some reason. Though had the book been amazing maybe that would’ve helped. I mean, I enjoyed it, but … now that I’m finished with it I don’t know what it was trying to say to me. There were some supernatural elements in it but they were not explored at all and in a way maybe the book would’ve been better without them? Or maybe they weren’t there at all? I don’t know, honestly. Since the characters were born just a few years after me I enjoyed reading about their online life, because it made me nostalgic for when I was growing up. I also really liked the friendship between the two girls for the same reason. However the parts at Skansen (both the first page and the ending) just seemed over-the-top to me and there was a bit too much from the perspective of a pedophile for me to really praise this. Um. The reviewers on the jacket would have you believe that John Ajvide Lindqvist is Sweden's Stephen King, and that may be so -- if King's Swedish editions are translated so poorly that large chunks of the book go by with nothing happening. (It is certainly true that they both could benefit from an undaunted editor.) In a brutally small nutshell: Angst-y and mentally disturbed 14-year-old girls love music, feel alienated, want to kill people, and do. With drills and without the benefit of reader empathy. The End. The only place this reader (who read this for work, or else would have abandoned it) truly felt cheered was on the final page, when it is strongly hinted that the girls are devoured by wolves. Sorry. I thought it sucked.
John Ajvide Lindqvist har för tillfället lämnat hembygdshorror och förortsvampyrer bakom sig. Han har denna gång skrivit en mörkare bok. Ajvide Lindqvist är djävulskt skicklig på att låta det förfärliga liksom explodera innanför det normala. Han gör ondskan så oladdad och konkret. I den bloddrypande och förtvivlade slutscenen framstår romanen därför till slut som en både mer uppgiven, uppriktig och dovare variation av föregångarens grundackord. Men också som nyktrare i sin gestaltning av utanförskap, mindre romantisk. Romanens styrka är skildringen av flickornas ensamhet och utsatthet. Men som helhet har romanen flera allvarliga brister. John Ajvide Lindqvist parar ihop två tonårstjejer och låter på typiskt sätt det vardagliga svenska möta det oförklarligt aparta. Listas de sobresalientes
Rescuing and raising an abandoned baby girl in the woods, a man enters the child in a singing competition when she develops an astonishingly beautiful voice, a performance that leads to the girl's encounter with another youngster with whom she triggers a horrifying force.
