It would appear that Stephenie Meyer is now a science fiction writer, too. The Host. So I said, what the hey, let me check out her free PDF of the book on
her website.
After the character Fords Deep Water is repeated GOD KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES (after all, we've established his name once after the first page), I found these sentences to be just as delightful: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/thehost_chapter4.pdf
"At the word Seeker, Fords gave Darren a look that could only be described as a glare. Darren blinked in shock." (wow, a fucking glare)
or
"I ease up from my crouch, my calves screaming in protest, but keep hunched at the waist, trying to be smaller than the bush." (those are some very loud calves you have)
or my suspenseful favorite:
"I pull the canvas bag from my shoulder and start with the refrigerator. There is a moment of anxiety as the light comes on when the door opens, but I find the button and hold it down with my toe. My eyes are blind. I don't have time to let them adjust. I go by feel."
Don't we all go by feel? Word. For snizzle.
Literature TRULY IS doomed!
