Partial Copyvio?
editCompare with the book's description at http://literati.net/Grimsley/BooksGrimsley.htm - some of the sentences in the wikipedia article are identical, though it seems to have been modified partly. -- 68.224.178.130 05:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Two Narratives?
editI read the book, and what I don't get is: where are two narratives at the end of the book? I mean, the main character just lay there and was just believed to be dead, just as Roy said, so I don't get, where the second narrative that is mentioned in the article is. By thew ay I just saw the film, quite good, some minor differences two the book and a few scenes which might be confusing because of the cutting. The only thing that raised my eyebrow was the last scene. Does anybody know what the director wanted to say with that?--Inugami-bargho (talk) 07:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- I don't recall the two narratives either. I'll delete it. Haven't seen the movie. 23:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)Tony
- I can only recommend to watch it, the music and the acting is really good. But I'm not sure how someone who never read the book would react and I think the last scene was only confusing for me because of the stuff like the two narratives previously mentioned here and because the director said something, that he had killed off the main character, which is strange since nobody died in the movie. But on the other hand, that sentence caused a lot of laughs in the interview and I couldn't understand the original question and English is not my mother tongue so he might have meant something different than I thought. Anyway, watch the movie, really good and really worth the money AND the actors really look like teenagers, including some skin problems ;-). Films like that proof, that a big budget has nothing to do with making a good movie. --Inugami-bargho (talk) 07:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
