Host Chapter Twenty Four
This chapter is called tolerated, joy. I’ll bet Otis is trying to make us see the hatred directed towards Eve as irrational prejudice. Maybe Eve and Jeb will stage a sit in at the cafeteria counter when they refuse to … Continue reading
Host Chapter Twenty Three
This chapter is called confessed. I have serious doubts that anyone is confessing anything. When your characters send signals out bigger than the Titanic’s emergency flares, there’s no surprise. We going to hear characters say things we already knew all … Continue reading
Host Chatper Twenty Two
This chapter is entitled cracked. I assume that Otis isn’t going to fill these next pages with articles from the website of the same name. Hmm, what could this title be signifying? Maybe Jeeve drops a geode which contains dozens … Continue reading

Host Chapter Twenty One
Another question I’ve been meaning to get to. As a commenter pointed out, why can’t Eve just disconnect from Jackie Otis? Presumably it would be rather debilitating to be subject to the same limits as heir host. The aliens should … Continue reading
Host Chapter Twenty
I didn’t want to point out anymore similarities between this book and Otis’s seminal work. I feel that even being the colossal idiot she is, I have to assume assume she’s at least making the attempt to break away from … Continue reading
Host Chapter Nineteen
So, I’ve noticed that all the humans call the aliens the same thing. Parasites. I know Otis hasn’t much creativity when it comes to manufacturing artificial slurs, most authors don’t. It’s hard to come up with something hateful and succinct … Continue reading
Host Chapter Eighteen
So I get that Otis doesn’t want us to like Jared now. He’s supposed to be a living, breathing example of douche-baggery. But am I the only one that thinks he’s the most sane? All the others are about one … Continue reading
Host Chapter Seventeen
I have another question I have for Otis(don’t I always?) about these aliens. She describes them as about three inch long creatures that, in appearance, resemble centipedes. That’s a pretty heft critter to jam under someone’s skin. So how come … Continue reading
Host Chapter Sixteen
Well, let’s see if Otis can ruin an action scene shall we? Eve leaves her mini hole and surprises the idiots. Apparently no one thought she could escape from a prison with only one way in and out yet lacking … Continue reading
