But I wouldn't advice against reading this one. It's a very good novel in its own and I don't think it will take away anything from the movie if you tread it as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-63848468296734636652011-10-22T23:13:51.042-07:002011-10-22T23:13:51.042-07:00You're welcome.

I much prefer keeping the book and film separate as 2 different things.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-9656268552423253422011-10-22T22:58:21.262-07:002011-10-22T22:58:21.262-07:00Thanks for a great and - as always - throughful re...Thanks for a great and - as always - throughful review of a movie I love. I just had a small remark: Blackeberg isn't really a small town on its own. It's a less-than-thrilling suburb of Stockholm. Maybe that's more apparent in the book or perhaps it's just taken for granted and hard to spot if you're not native.<br /><br />My second remark is about Eli. Since I read the novel (or rather heard it read to me in a wonderful audio with the author himself), I may mismind me. Perhaps Eli IS clearly a girl in the movie. In the novel it's not as clear that Eli is a "she". Eli is a bit of both and you never know quite which - perhaps he/she a transgender of either sort and it really doesn't matter that much which.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
