sorry have to be odd...lol..

But...

I like Jared better than Ian... I mean seriously Ian is too perfect for me.. I mean if you had been in the same boat as Jared and your "TRUE" love was (guess you would call it this) taken over by an alien..Wouldn't you be VERY upset too?? Idk I just really like Jared in the book...I mean Ian has a good personality in the book but he's just too perfect...

lol I know funny!!!

I'm sure the souls would have put a soul in the hypothetical baby if it had already been born, but it wouldn't likely survive Melanie's fall, and I can't imagine the souls would try too hard to save it, because then what would they do with it? They would just believe that that particular host was too damaged and that a pregnant host would be bad for a soul.

Anyways, about Jared. I don't like him. I don't care how angry he was or how terrible his life had been. The extent of his cruelty to Wanderer is unacceptable in my mind. As Ian put it, "Just because she isn't human, do you think that means she doesn't feel pain?...That she doesn't feel just like a girl who's been beaten-- beaten by us?" Jared knew that he was being cruel, everyone told him so, but he didn't care. Yes, he cared later when he knew that Melanie was okay, but that was in part about hurting Mel. If she had never come back, Jared wouldn't have seen any wrong in his treatment of Wanderer. Any girlfriend would like Jared's response to Wanda, but any other person would see it more clearly as far from noble.
