Your thoughts?
What do you think of the Host? Especially after reading the Twilight books, how do you think it compares to them?
Wanderer
Given Wanderer's reputation as a very experienced, brave, and strong
soul, was it surprising to you how easily she gave in to Melanie?
Seeker
As the story was unfolding, did you have any guesses as to why
Wanderer's Seeker was so persistent, or what Wanderer's big secret was?
Human's reactions
Were the humans' initial reactions to Wanderer/Melanie believable to you? Jeb's kindness? Jared's animosity? Jamie's quick love?
Mel and Jared
Mel insists that she would have loved Jared back when she first met him
even if he were the hard, cynical person she and Wanda re-encounters in
the cave. Do you agree?
Motherhood
From a soul's perspective, was it selfish of Wanda to not consider Motherhood? Why doesn't she consider it?
Ian and Wanda
What are your thoughts on the relationship between Ian and Wanda? Did it feel natural or strange to you?
The ending
What did you think about the happy ending? If the story had continued
on, how would you like it to play out? Would the souls eventually
realize they had done something wrong in taking over the human race and
leave? Would life go back to normal on planet Earth? Would some stay?
Could souls and humans co-exist, intermarry, and have children? Would
some humans not be able to forgive the souls and would it cause racial
tension? Could souls deal with that?
A world of souls
The souls are kind, considerate, and peaceful but they lack the range of
emotion felt by humans. Does a world inhabited by the souls appeal to
you? Why or why not?
Genocide?
Are the Souls morally culpable for what they do to so many species in
the universe? What reason do they give for taking over others' minds,
and is that justifiable -- or does it essentially amount to genocide?
