seang81's review against another edition
3.0
I've come into this after having read a few Lindqvist novels in my time - obviously Let The Right One In is the benchmark and, sometimes, I feel it's unfair to compare Lindqvists novels to something which is so beloved. However, 'I Am The Tiger' just felt flat for me. As the final novel in 'The Places' trilogy I wanted something more but this is a crime novel masquerading as a slight horror. The characters great, plot okay, setting great - it's just that I wanted more of the creepiness and horror of the first two novels in the series. So, it's an okay recommendation from me - enjoy the first two but temper your expectations for this finale, maybe that way you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I have now idea how I thought this trilogy would end.. but even though I found the story fell short here and there, I must say these three books will live with me for years to come. Not perfect by any means, but they sure left a mark.. or maybe a scar. I will have to re-read them some day, but not in a while.

Ajvide gör som King och skriver en hårdkokt deckare...typ halva boken i alla fall. Denna avslutande del av platstrilogin är en bladvändare och knyter ihop säcken på ett rimligt sätt.

I don't think that Lindqvist can write a bad book even if the first part of this story is a bit out of his comfort zone and seemed a bit off at times.
Than the weird part started and I couldn't put it down. There's plenty going, some answer and some new questions.
It would be unfair to compare it to Let The Right One In (a masterpiece) but this is a riveting, creepy and well written story that I loved.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
