We, The Infected

I love the cover art Ordfront uses for the paperbacks, although my copy of LDRKI has the movie poster on the front. I've been thinking about ordering the other version as well. I normally put in an order with Bokus every 2 - 3 months, so maybe we can work something out???? How many books are you mi...

".....she was about to throw herself at me when the train master called out that my train had arrived. I think that saved me."
(You might want to add a spoiler warning to the thread title, so we can discuss LTODD without having to use those annoying spoiler cover up thingies. )

So Stefan owes his life to the efficiency of Statens Järnvägar, - his return train arriving on time.

After the final pool scene, the question of why Oskar decides to leave is purely academic. He can hardly stay in Blackeberg after the pool massacre.

LTODD into a film?
I see a problem in that it's only some 30 pages long. It would have to be a "short film", without some padding out.

Stefan and Karin's favourite music.
I omitted ABBA because, well everone knows those songs.
