Couldn't remember if this was shared previously.

So, this is a love story, really, between two hopelessly broken people. . . . The artistry comes in how Lindqvist creates sympathy for Eli and Oskar, and then pushes the boundaries of that affection. As is often the case, the monster is less horrifying than the humans around it, but it’s not because Eli isn’t a genuine monster, and Lindqvist makes the reader complicit in Eli’s and Oskar’s actions.
