yes, there is a series of 3 books, I believe this is the first one. I can't remember right now, they are making movies from the book. I watched the movie (in swedish) yes that was interesting( sub titles). lol. but it is a really good book, I loved all 3 of them.
lol, yeah I ddin't make it all the way thru the movie either (well the first one I did). the movies stay pretty close to the books. which always makes me angry if they don't, I just stop watching if it doesn't go by the book. ttyl.
