“Read the book to understand the movie” seems wrong for several reasons.

In the movie, what is clear is that it is unclear. Movies and books are two divergent art forms, and just because one said one thing doesn’t mean the other was saying the exact same thing.

For myself, being an unabashed die-hard romantic, I hope that in a short time of leaving with Eli Oskar will let her turn him and the two of them can be together always. And working together, they will almost surely come up with better strategies for survival; they might decide to make bullies of all sorts a permanent item on their "menu." :) The ending is one of the best parts of the movie; it is straightforward, yet is open to various interpretations, each of which is equally valid.

In the book, Eli did not return his feelings and was basically using him for his survival. Håkan is jealous of Oskar and the victims that Eli attacks because they get to be closer to him than he does.

She believed Eli was searching for a replacement for her aging "father", and Oskar fit the bill. Knowing that, it has made me want to see the film again just to watch it from that perspective.

It's been hard for me to convince people to go see it! You'd think that with vampires being "so hot right now" as Mugatu would say, that it'd be easy, but I can't figure it out. Lack of ad campaign?

I would have to agree with you on that. I was in hopes she would turn him, though it might have lost some some of its orginal vibe. Either way AWESOME!! I never thought about that Jon.
