The Host Article: Favorite spots in The Host *SPOILERS*

I LOVE The Host! In fact I just reread it making it two times that I've read the whole book. (Not to mention all the times I've looked up my favorite parts and read them again! lol)
There are many parts that I like but one of my absolute favorites is when Ian over hears that Wanda is leaving (when actually she's choosing to die). I love that he freaks out, hitting and kicking to get her away lol. (If he was that pissed of when he thought she was choosing to leave imagine how much worse it would be if he knew she was actually choosing death!)
When he falls into her lap and cries. . . *gasp* I almost die every time! His love for her is so strong that you just can't help but feel for him. How he moans her name and begs her to stay, promising to never say he loves her again if she doesn't like it, as long as she will just stay.
The way he loves HER, not the body, and thinks that she is beautiful and amazing. *sigh*.
I wonder how Ian must have felt when he woke and saw that Wanderer was gone. And even more so his reaction to see Melanie, knowing that Wanda was no longer there.
When I was reading the last part of the chapter, when Wanda was being taken from Mel's body, I was bawling! I couldn't see how the book could end happily, but it did! :) Thanks Stephenie Meyer! I hope you guys also enjoyed the book. Let me know your favorite part and why.

cheergeek Ahhh!! Same here! I've read tehe epilouge (my favorite part) who knows how many times! I also like all the times when Ian is talking to Wanda, because he really does love HER... I love him.

funnyshawna *sigh* ooh i know! almost all my favirite parts are the ones with ian:) i love the way he loves wanda for her, not for melanie's body. the part where he is crying into her stomach is sooo sad and sweet, it makes me cry everytime i read it *which is a lot* i loved the whole book, it was great! i really want a sequel. i wanna know what happens with the other groups of humans *and souls* and wanda. aah...love the host!

Alev I always go to the part where he is crying in her lap...for him, such a strong person, to show that kind of vulnerability and emorion really illustrates how much he cares. I also like the part after where he is holding her and kissing her and telling her not to cry, its such an intimate moment. I also seem to gravitate back towards the part where Jamie realizes that Melanie is still alive, because it is a real turning point for the book. I love Jamie, he is so sweet.

MrsOShea92825 I love the entire part of Ian finding out what Wanda has chosen!! Ian is just such an amazing character!! It's impossible not to have some type of feelings for him! Basically all my favorite parts are with Ian, or Jamie. Jared is cool to, but no where near Ian!!

zuly89 OMG!!...That scene is my favorite too......I made a video a couple of days ago about it, you should check it out and tell me what you think....... Here's the link: http://www.fanpop.com/spots/the-host/videos/1822768 Enjoy!!!!!!

kttykatkate I'm so glad Wanda didn't die- I hadn't even realized until you said that , that it would be beyond incredibly difficult for Ian to even look at Melanie if he'd completely lost Wanda.

kitticat2 You totally described my favorite part perfectly! I just adore rereading when he overhears he telling Sunny she has to "give her body back too." And the entire Welded chapter, I <3 it! I enjoy reading all the parts with Ian and Wanda basically. But I really loved the scenes when she was having her "class" and people would ask her questions about all the planets. And especially when Jamie would answer a question for her. He is so cute!!!

zoomonkees I loved the aforementioned part with Ian, too. Also, I liked the part where Wanda and Melanie become friends and admit it to each other.

chillibanana11 my fav part r wen theyre bringing melanie back its so emotional and i love the part were ian admits feeling guilty bout strangling wanda and wen wanda goes to jamie medicen i was terror fied that jamie would die i love it wen wanda descovers the gruesom remanes of the baby soul i dont know y but i do ooh wen wanda is being atacked by kyle it was really tense and it scared me and after the game wen ian and jared r fight ing bout wanda and mel i love almost every part <3

alice13 I loved all the Wanda/Ian moments but one of my favorites was when he said "I held you in my hand, Wanderer, and you were so beautiful." or something like that. AHHH I love it so much!!!

PaceVamp77 I'm just going to go out on a limb and put my favorite FUNNY part, since all of my favorite parts are already posted numerous times. I LOVE the motel scene when Ian and Jared are bickering over the bed that they have to share. "Fine," Jared snapped. "But if you try cuddling up to me tonight...so help me, O'Shea. Ian chuckled, “Not to sound overly arrogant, but to be perfectly honest, Jared, were I so inclined, I think I could do better.”

snoznoodle I just finished reading it and (as usual when I read Stephenie Meyer books) I can't stop thinking about it! I loved the same as everyone else when she said "Because I love her Ian!" and he said "But I love [i]you[/i]." It made me go all gooey inside lol. I also liked Kyle and Ian bickering... I don't have the book with me so I don't have the exact words but it was just typical brotherly fighting it was very funny. Why do guys seem so much funnier than girls all the time?

Bridget49 I loved that part in the hotel room where they were all watching that family playing with their human baby. And the part at the end with that other group of humans seeing them. AND that part at Walter's funeral. It's impossible to choose one part, the entire book was AMAZING!

Stellarwolf08 lol I was the same way I cried I was like oh no it can't just end like that and I started to get anxious because I saw there was still pages I was like wow I hope something fixes this before the book ends because I liked Wanda so Much I didn't want her to go like that plus think of Ian... poor Ian he would have went either catatonic or extremely enraged and something bad would happen or both but I'm glad this worked it self out haha ...it does want you craving some more huh? Stephenie how do you do it??? lol :]

Stellarwolf08 oh and I liked reading the parts when Ian and Jared were jelous of each other I was like ooo it's going down! that made me laugh when they fought for her attention or to one up each other haha good stuff right there :]

675 I love the Host!! Ian is so cool! This is my favorite book!

pandanime12 I liked the part when Ian and Jared were trying to get Mel back and when they were arguing outside of Ian's room while Mel/Wanda were listening. Also, when Ian figures out that Wanda is planning on not staying. The book was really great and I really hope that there will be more to the story. ^.^

blondie_caitlin I love all the lovey dovey parts, but the one part that i love because it made me laugh so hard was when, in the beggining, Jared is eating the cheesies, and Wanda really wants them, and then she starts laughing histaricly about it, and then Jared gets all offended, and walks away and eats his cheesies some where else. Also, when Wanda is with Ian, and he brings her the cheesies, i think thats so sweet, cuz she really wanted them, and Jared was to much of a jerk to give her any, and then Ian eventually does:( :) he is sooo cute:D

camikat1099 OMG i LOVE this book. Ive read it twice and skimmed through my fav parts at least a million times:D. My fav parts are when jared and ian have to share the bed and there bickering and ian tells jared that he could do better. And i LOVE LOVE LOVE the part when ian finds out that wanda's leaving and he just says "what" its so amazing then he breaks down in her arms. *sigh* i wish he was a real person. i love stephanie meyer, her books are soo moving.if u havnt read this book READ IT....trust me

wanderingk I am completly obsessed with my favorite part, I'm so obsessed I even have it bookmarked. It's when Wanda makes out with Jared AND Ian to save Mel's life. Its uh-mazing!! But I also am in love with the part when Jamie and Jared are fighting and Jamie stands up for her. GASP! I CRY EVERYTIME!
