The first time I read it was a few years ago upon the recommendation of my sister because we both love Jane Austen. It was horrible. However, I can't leave a book unfinished once I start it, no matter what. The second time I read it was for book club earlier this year, after we finished the first 3 books of the Twilight series. I still hated it, in the same way you did. The characters are horrible, awful, evil people with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. However, I also liked it slightly better this time, for the same reason you did - the writing. I still fail to see why anyone loves this book and thinks it's romantic or that it's even a classic. Give me Austen any day.Nicole *Ü*https://www.blogger.com/profile/08015767241273322067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155120509585919973.post-81788867961559294152008-08-19T07:28:00.000-07:002008-08-19T07:28:00.000-07:00Hi--My name is Danielle and I work at Sourcebooks-...Hi--<BR/><BR/>My name is Danielle and I work at Sourcebooks--we publish quite a few historical novels (including a brand new sequel to Jane Eyre and The Pemberley Chronicles Series, which have been reviewed here).

I am so glad I read what you said because I totally agree! It took me along time to get into the book, about half way. I also felt like things moved so fast! At first Wanderer was doing fine suppressing melonie and then Bam she was out of control. And I agree with the Jared memories too. I thought, "wow, when did this happen! she only saw a few memories and now she is completely in love?" I didn't like that. The character I really loved was Ian! I wanted Ian and wanderer to be together so bad and I really didn't care about Melonie and Jared. Everyone else I've talked to (which haven't been many) said that they really liked the book, but I wasn't that big of a fan. I know that it had to have a happy ending but I thought that moving wanderer into a new body was weird. and if no one was in that body anymore, why did wanderer act like that person instead of just herself? That annoyed me. I was also confused with what happened to a species when the Souls left. The souls did not create more Host bodies for them to live in, so when the Souls left would that species be extincted? B/c when Wanda, Ian, Jared, and kyle were getting supplies and stayed at the hotel, Wanda saw for the first time two souls that had a baby. The souls only lived in the Host until it died and then moved on, so who is creating more host bodies? That whole part was really confusing for me. All in all is was just ok.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
