review 1: A very short story that uses its brevity to create a tightness that is sometimes missing from Lindqvist's novels. Several of the reviews have complained that the story jumped around and was hard to follow. I didn't find this to be the case, but I'm also familiar with Lindqvist's style of writing. One person I knew did not like the story until I told him about the song the title is taken from. Suddenly things made more sense to him then (though I can't really see why knowing the song would help too much with following the story). This is an extremely quick read that was free through Barnes and Noble about temptation and things that are hidden in the depths. Get it while it is free (especially if you haven't read his novels, as it contains previews for Harbor and Handling th... moree Undead).
review 2: I am a huge fan of John Ajvide Lindqvist and was very excited when I saw this little gem available for free on Amazon. (I'm not sure how long they were doing that promotion, so I'm sorry for anyone that missed it.) What a suprise! Sure, the title made me think "spider" and I thought how cool a story about a spider would be, but I was mistaken....but that wasn't a bad thing. This story is one of those masterpieces that makes you wonder...what's going on? Is it real? Is the guy, Frank, losing his mind? And that is such a great thing, I think. To have a story play w/ your mind like that, to me, is the sign that it's well done. If you're still thinking about it after, it's done it's job! less

There's nothing wrong with this story, it's just kinda... whatever.

Not Lindqvist's best book (short story, really), but not awful.

I think this probably lost a lot in translation.
