re: Let The Right One In - Spoilers

I actually read the book and found it much more enjoyable. I'm one of the movie board posters who don't find the movie very good. I watched it once but I didn't get the hype either.

From the book, I don't believe the Father was a boyfriend at a younger age. He's basically a pedophile if I recall correctly. She lets him hug her and rub her (not too graphically, just sort of touching) if he drains for her. I honestly don't remember why she makes him do it, but I do think there was a reason.

Also, in the book he lasted a while because he'd usually try to get people alone. He only did a few in the book, but I believe it was mentioned he had done more before that.

As far as not living in a large city, I'm not sure why. I think they sort of move around like drifters.

Overall, I enjoyed the book but found the movie sort of boring.
