The Unit is a frighteningly plausible novel, categorized as Adult Dystopian. The translation from Swedish is flawless and I was never aware that it was a translation while I was reading. Much of the dystopian fiction that I have read recently has been action focused, but this is a more contempl...
I enjoyed this, for the most part. I loved the protagonist and her salty, anti-social tendencies. The mystery itself ... eh. I never really felt much tension or suspense, despite the claustrophobic setting, so the urgency of discovery was never there for me. The parlor-room confrontation and revea...
Like many people, I was introduced by ‘Let the Right One In.’ A disturbing, masterful film – and an even more disturbing book. This is the second book I’ve read by Lindqvist and, well, it’s good. It’s a well-crafted murder-thriller-horror novel with the dark elements often associated with Scandinavi...
Creepy, suspenseful book about a young woman fascinated by her sister's lover.

Pero se me hace un poco injusto hacer esa comparación, porque este no es un libro malo.Hay tensión y suspenso, pero no terror. Lo que me gusta es que el auto...
I certainly wish more books from this author will be translated and released. The Unit is a great book, full of melancholy and sadness of a proper dystopia. Felt very enriched when finished reading it.
Synopsis: Marina visits her sister, Stella and while there falls under the spell of Stella's violent, sadistic and manipulative husband, Gabriel. Tragedy strikes and Stella dies. What are in Stella's diaries and will Marina fall victim to Gabriel's manipulative ways the same way her sister did?My op...
