Hi, /lit/.

I need to have Let the Right One In read by tomorrow. I have about 200 pages left to read, but I'm getting tired. I also have the film on my computer with English subtitles.

If I watch the film tonight instead of finishing the book, will I have at least a comparable amount of comprehension of the characters developments the story's plot as someone who read the entire book?

I definitely plan to finish the book, maybe reread the whole thing from the beginning a bit slower, but I need to know this story by the morning.

What do you guys think, stay up a few extra hours to read it, or watch the film version?

It's what I would do. You may pick something up that you wouldn't with the movie, which may be worth something. And there is just something about finishing a book, no matter how late at night, that feels refreshing.

Anyhow, how is the book?

>>	thefreestman !!kUzvz9L2Fnq Mon Apr 12 01:32:04 2010 No.545385 >>545380 I'm making my library order it as we speak. I would finish it tonight, but that is just a personal opinion. Do whatever you're most comfortable with.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 12 01:32:04 2010 No.545386 Stay up. The film takes away from a lot of the book. Think about it, the book is about 470 pages. The movie is about two hours. You are losing a lot of information in the transition from book to film.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 12 01:33:04 2010 No.545388 Watch the movie and look up the book and movie articles on wikipedia to check for differences.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 12 01:35:04 2010 No.545393 I knew I should finish it, but the lazy side of me was screaming at me to watch the movie and go to sleep. I'll finish it though. Maybe i'll watch it tomorrow.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 12 02:00:04 2010 No.545455 Make sure you have the theatrical subtitles. The subtitles on the American DVD release are dumbed down and it's just really boring to watch. http://iconsoffright.com/news/2009/03/let_the_wrong_subtitles_in_to.html
