I came across this
LTROI quiz. I went through it once - did not go back to check my answers - 40 out of 40. Natch.
I do have a couple of quibbles with it: for instance, they refer to Virginia as "Victoria".
Also, (and these be spoilers, Matey. Don't click until after you have gone through the quiz)
when they ask, "How did Håkan die?", my first answer was, "Which time?" Even then, none of their answers was correct, but "Jumps to death" was closest to the right answer, "Fell to death". Also, for their question, "What animal has a paragraph in its own point of view?", well, I believe there was a paragraph devoted to the point of view of the cat who was too crippled to join in the attack on Virginia, but I presumed they really were referring to the entire chapter that was devoted to the POV of the squirrel.
...the story derives a lot of its appeal from its sense of despair and a darkness in which the love of Eli and Oskar seems to shine with a strange and disturbing light.

36 out of 40 for me, which means that I only screwed up on a couple

.
The question about Håkans death and the animal point of view did confuse me though. I put "murdered" at the first, while not exactly being true, he did get killed by Tommy if I remember correctly. Now I see the zombie did not count as "alive". I put cat in the second because I cannot remeber any squirrel. Seemingly I was wrong on both.

I got 37 out of 40. I guess I have to go back and re-read. I always find things I forgot about if I just start flipping through and reading things at random. I don't know which ones I got wrong.
Bonus question, really obvious. Which character has reached menopause?
I assumed the animal pov was the squirrel. That passage is mentioned by many who read the novel. I was confused by the Hakan question, how he died. I assumed it was from the fall. The broken tooth part I don't remember at all.
I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.

38 out of 40 for me, only guessed on one question, the one about the timespan the book happens within.

36 out of 40 for me. Fun quiz, I enjoyed that.

37 out of 40. I guessed on like 5. My memory is not very good seeing as I only just re-read this a month ago.

36/40
No idea which ones I got wrong, but it's been a while since I've read the book. Fun quiz.

You got 38 out of 40 questions correct. In my defense, I have only read the book once.
