quick question

I would have to say page 349 to 350, the note Eli left for Oskar revealed how empty Eli's existance had been before s/he met Oskar.

Yes, Eli left some very poignant notes for Oskar. You get the impression that she is right on the verge of using the "L" word, but is afraid to; perhaps she feared it would scare Oskar off?

Pass!

I'm with varamiglite and ACL; the bedroom scene in it's entirety, from Eli snuggling up behind Oskar when his mom came in, to his bed floating away as he fell asleep.

(And of course, the L reference is 'LOVE')

I also think JAL wanted to write a love story without ever including that word (at least not between Eli and Oskar, I think Lacke and Virginia say it at some point). Which is pretty rare.

I think my favorite part might be the few pages after Håkan and Lacke are dead, the police are coming and Eli says goodbye.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World?

"The L word"? Isn't that a TV show...?

[intrige]

It's a lesbinan TV series, yes.

A gay girl came to our class once and talked about this, I got to speak with her afterwards and she adviced me to watch the L word.

Funny how JAL didn't even mean to write a love story from the beginning of the writing process, they just fell in love He wrote it here on the forum somehwhere. So cute.
I think the reason why they don't say I love you to each other (O&E) is because,, would you have said that as a kid? Also, they were rogether for two weeks before they ran away together, their relationships was pretty fresh and they were probably still shy about some things. Love is a strong word and both of them obiosly understood that.
I also get the feeling that Eli really wants to say it a few times mut is scared it would scare Oskar away, being too intense? I would get kind of.. Ehh what?? If somebody I had been with for two weeks said: I love you. I would't even belive it. I hope I answered anything
