Weird error when i try to Deserialize a xml string to a .net List Object

I have asked this question twice already but not one have given me an answer that actually works so i will try again. I have this xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<people type="array">
 <person>
       <first-name>Mark</first-name>
       <last-name>Zette</last-name>
       <e-mail>mark.zette@hotmail.com</e-mail>
 </person>
 <person>
       <first-name>Sara</first-name>
       <last-name>Brobro</last-name>
       <e-mail>brobro@hotmail.com</e-mail>
 </person>
 <person>
       <first-name>Rob</first-name>
       <last-name>Sel</last-name>
       <e-mail>rob.selhotmail.com</e-mail>
 </person>
 <person>
       <first-name>Aden</first-name>
       <last-name>Snor</last-name>
       <e-mail>aden.Snor@hotmail.com</e-mail>
 </person>
</people>

So I want to turn this xml into a list of this object:

This class is autogenerated. Throug running "xsd.exe peoples.xml" and then "xsd.exe /c peoples.xsd" in the visual studio command prompt.

Now this is my code plus error: (And for those that don't know Swedish after additional information it says "There is something wrong with your XML-document(3,2)")

 string xmlPath = Path.Combine(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/App_Data"), "peoples.xml");

            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(xmlPath);
            string xml = sr.ReadToEnd(); //i suspect the problem might appear here maybe. When i convert the xml to string it might 
                                         //happend something to the xmlstring that the deserialize 
                                         //method cant read. But i dont know just guessing.

            XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<people>));
            using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(xml))
            {
                List<people> person = (List<people>)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
            }

            return View();
