Reminds me of [b:Let the Right One in|8731203|Let the Right One in|Anne Billson|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348010760s/8731203.jpg|13604234] a book and a rather strange film which left out major plot point of the book, only hinting at them. As I have bought the film, I may opt to just see the film without reading the whole book. Given the structure of the writing, I cannot even skim the pages to see if it gets better. A case if tl;dr, possibly. Trying to get to 30%; but still under 10%. Might decide to abandon this long before 30%. Or I will read a few comments on the film and the book to decide that. Pros: * Epistolary style * Unreliable narrator * Gothic horror - think "Turn of The Screw" * Beautiful prose Cons: * Slow build * Unresolved story points (i.e. Mr Davies) Because this is the journal of an unreliable narrator who is slowing going crazy, you never really know what has or has not happened. But you also get beautiful sentences like, "The girl was self-absorbed, but she was also excruciatingly alive, as if had been born without skin." aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Tengo dieciséis años y estudio en un exclusivo internado americano, la Brangwyn School. Mi padre, un célebre poeta, se suicidó el año pasado, y mi madre no consigue salir adelante, así que paso mis días entre las paredes de esta prestigiosa escuela. Por suerte está conmigo Lucy, mi mejor amiga, con quien lo comparto todo, y este año podremos descubrir juntas cosas nuevas y prohibidas. Pero desde que llegó Ernessa, una chica nueva, misteriosa y enigmática, mi mundo ha dado un vuelco. Lucy pasa más tiempo encerrada en la habitación de Ernessa que en ninguna otra parte, se inventa excusas para no estar conmigo y están sucediendo cosas extrañas. Empiezo a sospechar que la chica nueva no es quien dice ser? Estoy convencida de que Ernessa es en realidad un vampiro, y haré lo que haga falta para demostrarlo.
