We, The Infected

Just finished listening to Let The Old Dreams Die and the fact that
Eli turned Oskar and that they're still alive and together
just made me want more. Was that the intention of JAL? Seems if he really wanted to end the Eli and Oskar story he would have handled it differently.

I did also download the audiobook today. I agree wholeheartedly with editrice's post about the magic being intact. I loved the story.
A bit open ended? Not more than normal for JAL, I think.
I sensed a hostility from Eli&Oskar towards the surroundings, which I took as a sign of "go away and leave us alone!"

They were being hostile when Stefan walked up to them as they were mixing which is understandable. Other than that moment I don't see how you could gather anything from what little we were given. If they wanted to be left alone they could have picked a better place than Barcelona with its insane nightlife and be more careful about avoiding cameras so the the two people who were still looking for them wouldn't see and go after them.

It was just an impression I was left with - it1s understandable that they were hostile against Stefan, but this also has to do with which glimpses of them JAL chooses to give us.

I'm so tempted to click on these spoiler bars! Argh!

I also debated on whether to click or not. I intend to get the book when it comes out later this year. But I decided not to wait until then; it's such a drag having to wait for translations. You folks "over there" really are fortunate. So I took the plunge, did the click, and without saying any more: I'm glad I did. Thanks again, you Nordic folks.

Knowing that it could be a while, I couldn't resist. I knew a bit before reading the novel and it didn't hurt the experience for me.

I want to click on the spoiler too

Oh my god I hate you guys! Okay i'm kidding but I am jealous.
Grats on being the first ones to get your hands on this novel. It will be months before we can have an english version.

Okay going out now you never saw me here.
