100% favourite novel

I love this novel so much!
I was unaware there was a novel after watching the movie, and after picking it up I really could not stop Reading. I'd start and be up till 2 in the morning finding an aproppiate place to stop. Which ended up being at the end if each section
The book really touched me, I love how Oskar accepts Eli for what she is, and I think it has a happy ending
I've read it twice in 7 days, and I can get enough of it!

Yeah, the novel is fantastic!
It took me 7 days just to read it once, a record for me.

That must've been painful
I can't imagine myself putting down a book after only reading a chapter or two, and resuming a day later

When I first read the novel, it was the night I had 2 deadlines to meet in 16-18 hours(the next day). And each would've taken 8 and 6 hours to complete ... I would be on time if I didnt sleep

I kept thinking to myself, I'll put it down after this chapter, but then get completly sucked into the plot and end up Reading like another 5! And then I end up stopping because it's like 2 in the morning and I'm not taking in what I'm reading.

Fist time I read the novel, afther I had seen the move. It took me 1,5 days. And that is reading at almsot non stop, sleep, food, bathroom and so on, was the only think that stoped me. I am rereading it the third time now. The second time I took a real good time reading it. Then I read it in about a week I think..

I read the novel in one sitting for the first time on a flight to Canada, have read it again about 6 times since then, and it is read a little bit each day...when I go for my ummm, daily, uhhh, constitutional?
I think this will be my favourite story, and film, for the rest of my days. Nothing I've read before or since has had the emotional impact the love story between these two characters has had on me and I doubt anything else ever will, other than the epilogue, maybe.

One sitting? I couldn't take everything in, I'd be forgetting what I was reading after a couple of hours.
Yeah, I would agree, the book has had such a huge impact on me. It's just how Oskar loves Eli for what she is, even though she is a boy--and a vampire. It really is a moving story.
P.S. Great White North For The Win.

Okay true story. The LTROI dvd was given to me as a gift. Prior to that I didn't read the book, never read any reviews, see the trailers or any screenshots. I was totally out of the loop. Truth be told I just thought, "Okay swedish horror film with subtitles, must be an art film. How thoughtful!" I didn't even unwrap the dvd until a week later when that same friend asked me, "So what'd you think?" "Uhh...lemme get back at you". That evening I popped the disc into the player and watched the movie, just me and a bowl of popcorn.

At the beginning where Hakan drains his first victim I'm going. "WHOA Shii...!" I smile as Oskar looks at Eli's hair with admiration as she shows him how she fixed the Rubik's cube, and for a second it takes me back to my first puppy love. Then in another scene where Oskar hits Connie with the stick I must've looked like an idiot doing a fistpump and shouting "YESSSS!" I'm only halfway through the movie and gone through a number of emotions and I'm thinking. "Oh my god this is... this is... oh my god.. FREAKIN AWESOME!" I peered through a Batman mask made with my fingers when Oskar draws his knife behind Lacke as he prepares to kill Eli. Then got all choked up when Eli kisses Oskar and tells him "I have to leave" and watched the taxi drive off. The ending had me breathless. I'm sure I watched it a second time back to back.

The more I watched LTROI the more I wanted to know about what 'this' or 'that' meant. Who was the old guy really? What message were they tapping out on the train? I ordered the ebook and locked myself in a cave for two days totally immersed in the story. Not long after that I found this site while googling some questions and now here I am.
