Status Updates From Handling the Undead

Lo has vuelto a hacer, Lindqvist.

Way too sarcastic for me. And where's the subtlety of "Let the right one in?" No go, I quit.

That isn’t Elias. He took a step back from the body that lay nestled in the plush upholstery. It was a dwarf. An ancient dwarf-man who had been buried in Elias’ place.

For it was not terror or horror that she felt when she looked at her husband, dead three years after their fiftieth anniversary, now returned. No. Only surprise and… a kind of exhaustion.

When you’ve been sitting in the outhouse for a while, you don’t notice the smell anymore.

This felt entirely appropriate: catastrophe eclipses everything.

Hells yeah!! I think there is a spark of evil intent; or some slight aggressiveness in this zombie book!!?? Please note sarcasm here_____. (F**K!!)

...uhm, when does the horror, blood-curdling screams and bloodletting begin???? ...i really don't care about their emotions! :/

New book idea: Interview with a Zombie. NOT

Oh, goodness!! They aren't going to talk and have thought processes; are they!!?? ...ugh

...mmmm, zombies...

Beautiful, clear prose. No dead weight in this book so far, beyond the zombies that is.

Hmmm, voorlopig veel slordiger en meer voorspelbaar geschreven dan "Let the right on in".

Inicio burdo... voy a la mitad, y ha logrado atraparme un poco espero al menos un desenlace y un final respetables.

Definitely a different way of handling this topic. Wondering how they're gonna wrap all this is up in just 100 more pages!

Whoa...

Ya casi lo termino y me a gustado mucho espero q el final este muy bueno

Hasta ahorita me a gustado mucho

Going slowly... Reading for two weeks.

Muuuuy bueno. Adictivo. El desarrollo de los personajes y la forma en que estas tres historias se comienzan a cruzar está muy bien logrado. El personaje (e historia) que más me ha llegado es la de David & Eva. Me enternece la ingenuidad y debilidad de David, el pilar que Eva significaba se ha derrumbado, pero a la vez es la excusa perfecta para que él tome las riendas de su vida.

Aunque hasta este momento puedo decir que el tono/historia de "Let The Right One In" me gusta mucho más, no puedo parar de leer este. Eso no me pasó con "LTROI".(quizás porque no quería que terminara nunca) Es muy adictivo, de ágil lectura y no cae en sobreexplicaciones de nada. Vamos a ver qué tal.

Empezó muy bien. Creo que el gran punto de partida para cualquier historia es empatizar muy cabrón con los personajes. Lo está logrando.

He lay gor a while and breathed, trying not to think. His mouth was dry, his tongue sticking to the roof of his mouth. This could not be happening. And yet it was. What do you do in this situation? Either you lie down and die and attempt not to exist. Or else you accept, and go on.

Everything electrical and mechanical had been Tore's domain. After he fell ill with Alzheimer's, Elvy had been forced to call an electrician the first time the fuse had blown. She'd never been entrusted with that kind of information because she was considered delicate. But the electrician, who didn't know about her limitations, showed her what to do and now she could do it.

As he walked through the corridors to Eva's room, all the lamps above the doors were blinking and an alarm sounded continuously. This felt entirely appropriate: catastrophe eclipses everything.

Long time waiting

As I began this book....I had an idea it wasn't going to be easy reading...and at first it did give me a few bad dreams and sad thoughts....I even considered not finishing it.....I'm almost at the end now...and have found it very thought provoking and more protective over the little person I brought into the world three years ago....and hope, the ideas in this book so far...never come to pass!

Creepy, sad and weird!

well its different from any zombie book I have read before, so far.

Yes, Linqvist knows his craft. :-)
