Mod
Of course. You'll have to read till chapter 10 by saturday
Mod
No, not at all
Were there parts you didn't like?
Yes, I know that the book is supposed to be all about Melannie, but now it's all wanderer, THERE SHOULD BE MORE FLASHBACKS!!!!
What did you like about the chapters?
the flashbacks, I need more!!
Anything else?
nope
Mod
2. What do you think of the interaction problem?
3. Why do you think that Wanderer didn't answer the question plan out 'Fire World'?
4. What do you think of the Seeker?
5. What did you think of the building in the middle of the desert?
6. Was there something you didn't understand?

Questions:
1. Did you really think that Melanie & Wanderer would die in the desert?
2. Do you think that the Seeker, who went by plane, is searching for Wanderer at the moment?
3. do you think that the surviving humans will kill Wanderer? or grow to trust her?
4. What's your opinion about Jared (, since he hit Wanderer/Melannie) ?
5. Do you think that Melanie is naive?
I'm going to make a quiz for you girls every 15 chapters okay? And we should be more active I haven't seen anything of Ezmerath or Giuilia yet.
Oh excuse me! I was just reading what you guys wrote as I feel my opinions might be biased (knowing the events and all) and the REALLY don't want to put in a spoiler, so here are my responses (trying my best not to give anything away):1. Probably not...not only did the pages give it away but Melanie is a fit and strong host body.
2. Yes. I had the feeling she understood the case especially well.
3. I hope they grow to like her but I completely see where they're coming from and that is what I would do as well.
4. Argh! I suppose it is frustrating and sad and emotional to see her changed and taken over, which was against everything they stood for...I understand where he is coming from (as well). It's a very difficult moral dilema.
5. A tad bit but I would have been hoping they would understand as well. Even if you're being locked up and beaten by your loved ones and you know there is a chance of being close to them again, she would stand it, wanting to be with them.
Mod
Good :) this makes me so happy three active people :D

Oh thanks! I didn't score so well thought :/
Mod
No no it was entertaining because it was difficult. Made me remember things. Keep them as they are. It was a good quiz!
Mod
Oh wow! It was significantly better than my first one. Congrats!
Mod
I don't mind. It is a discussion after all.
Mod
Hahas I absolutely adored this one. I can't wait for the movie's release!

Ian, Kyle and Brandt come to Wanderer's cel to kill her, Ian half succeeds by choking her. jeb barges in with his gun and tells them to never come near the cell ever again or they'll be shot. Jeb gives Jared the choice to Wanderer's life.
1. What do you think Jared will choose?
17-Visited
Jeb takes Wanderer to the 'toilet'. When they come back to wanderer's cel they find Jamie. Later Jared shows up and he's all pissed because jamie's down there talking to Wanderer. Jamie walks off and Jared tell Jeb to leave too.
2. Why do you think Jared is being so awful to Wanderer?
18-Bored
Wanderer spends the whole day in her cell, in silence. Except when Jeb comes to bring her food and they exchange words of gratitude. Jared hates it that Jeb talks to Wandere, it irritates him.
3. Do you think jared will ever start treating Wanderer in a good way?
19-Abandoned
In the previous chapter Ian comes to talk to Jared. He tells him about the Seeker that's determined to find Wanderer. They think that Wanderer can't hear them but the walls echo ecerything over to her. Jared asks Wanderer about the Seeker and she decides to speak after a moment.
4. Do you really think that Jared thinks that wanderer is lying?
20-Freed
Jared left for a 'real comprehensive supply run' with Kyle and a few others. Wanderer/Mel are really sad and cry. Jeb let's them cry without interrupting. After letting Wanderer sleep on the matress outside of her cell, Jeb takes her for a tour of his home. and Wanderer gets a new place to stay.
5. Do you think it was smart of Jeb to show Wanderer around?
21-Named
When Jamie keeps watch over Wanderer when Jeb goes, to do something that has to do with food :p, they talk about Wanderer's life and Wanderer starts to grow on Jamie.
6. Do you think Jared will be pleased with Jamie and Wanderer's relationship when he returns?
1) Eep! We all want him to keep Wanderer because of Melanie but what will he actually do? Hm...2) Oh just the small matter that she has TAKEN OVER MELANIE AND DESTROYED HER MEMORIES AND PERSONALITY, THE PERSON HE WAS IN LOVE WITH. But little does she know, Melanie remains.
3) Eventually yes, because that is still Melanie's body he's talking to.
4) No! I'm sure he believes her.
5) Yes it was! Especially without Kyle or Jared around. Wanderer needs to understand they're not a threat because she came all the way out here for them.
6) DEFINITELY NOT.
Mod
I KNOW! But I suppose love makes you do strange things...
Mod
It's so romantic (I'm a hopeless romantic at heart you see). If only he knew Melanie was still there! He would be much more forgiving.
Mod
I think it's because of her devotion to Melanie, and also I suppose Melanie's body is used to releasing endorphins and dopamine when she sees him, so the body is attracted to him. ((not to get scientific)).
Mod
But then what about Melanie and the attraction and the flashbacks we love?
Mod
Or something like that, right? The whole love triangle in two bodies thing...
Definitely better than Twilight! It sucks how people are like "Noooo but she wrote Twilight". I'm like "The books were okay. The movies ruined it. This is different!"
Mod
Yes, Saoirse Ronan. A very talented actress. Have you seen the stills yet?
Mod
Lols nah. It's coming out in March (CANNOT WAIT). Here is the link for you and the trailer (WHICH I ADORE):http://www.thehostmovienews.com/

Mod
I KNOW RIGHT? I'll just have to wait until it comes out here :/ Will it show in yours? I'm sure you don't need to fly to the USA to see the film.
Mod
Do you know which song is played in the trailer? It's soo good
