Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist hits paydirt with his novel "Little Star."

"Little Star," is a three and half star novel which deals in savage murders, preservation, twisted family values and the dark side of the music business.
Best selling author John Ajvide Lindqvist scores big with his fifth novel "Little Star."

Lindqvist has the twisted imagination of Stephen King and a writing prowess which confiscates the imagination and graciously passes the time with each turning of the page.

"Little Star" first hit the public in 2010 overseas and the U.S. in October. The book starts out with a married man finding a baby girl in the woods. For years the found child stays silent unless she is singing. Lennart, the man who finds the baby raises the child with his wife Laila. Lennart isolates the baby girl from the world simply because he is obsessed with her fantastic singing ability. Sinister and crazy things begin to happen when Lennart and Laila's grown son Jerry finds out about the girl, the little one.
By the time the girl; little one is 13-years-old, she is coveted singer. One particular sleaze ball, a wrenched music manager named Max has a devilish plan to seduce the underage little one.
Lennart, an abusive husband only cares how well his newly found daughter can sing and nothing else. His son Jerry and his wife Laila fit extremely well into this conflicted storyline.
When little one joins forces with Teresa, another girl her age and phenomenal lyric writer, the young duo blend mayhem and murder into a uniquely intriguing plot.
The only plot line I will reveal is that Max does not have sex with the very under aged little one and he and the girl become entangled in a perilous storyline that engulfs the readers attention span and hurls it into a carousel of curiosity.
"Little Star" is a bit lengthy at times and certain parts of the middle of the book are snooze worthy, yet Lindqvist pulls it off. His ability to fuse evil with good and love with lust entices the imagination and slings it into the realms of fascination.
