Ok, I'm a John Ajvide Lindqvist fan and I've read all his previous books: Let the Right One In, Dealing with the Undead, Paper Walls and Human Harbour. Little Star is, just like the previous books, surreal, brutal and delicate - all at the same time.
Close to the evil in all of us
Do not read it if you are disgusted by violence and blood, or if you are disturbed by details that seem implausible. Read it if you want to come tremblingly close to the evil in all of us. Read it if you want to feel how short the step from normality to madness can be, at least for those who feel a bit out of place.

Thanks for the tip! I'm just about to place an order from bokus, so that I have a bunch of books to read when I'm at home, but also to bring pockmarks....

Hello
I have actually never heard of him. I'm in a period now where I don't read anything at all unfortunately. But I'm going to pull myself together because it's peaceful to read a little in the evenings and when I'm travelling somewhere.
I started a book probably six months ago and I haven't even got halfway through, embarrassing. Read a few pages the other day and fell asleep afterwards ,-)
Take care // hugs Tess

Katarina, we also like paperbacks. It's so convenient when you're travelling. Unfortunately, this one hasn't come out in paperback yet, and of course I couldn't wait for it...
😉
Tess, we also have different periods when we read and not. But when we are on holiday, or out in the camper van, we love to relax with a good book! The most famous of John Ajvide Lindqvist's books is probably "Let the Right One In", which also became a cinema film. A really good film actually!

Have listened to paper walls. The last time I was in town I saw this particular book that you suggest in a shop window, it caught my eye. Maybe I'll buy it as a holiday book this summer. Thanks for the tips!
