All right, readers! It's time to find out who you would cast in the movie of Stephenie Meyer's "The Host". If you haven't read this book, I highly suggest you do. It's a fantastic next step in Stephenie's writing, especially for those who loved "Twilight" but felt like it lacked a more adult feel. If you have not read the book, here is a synopsis, but there are spoilers ahead in this post!
According to Amazon.com, from Publishers Weekly, "In this tantalizing SF thriller, planet-hopping parasites are inserting their silvery centipede selves into human brains, curing cancer, eliminating war and turning Earth into paradise. But some people want Earth back, warts and all, especially Melanie Stryder, who refuses to surrender, even after being captured in Chicago and becoming a host for a soul called Wanderer. Melanie uses her surviving brain cells to persuade Wanderer to help search for her loved ones in the Arizona desert. When the pair find Melanie's brother and her boyfriend in a hidden rebel cell led by her uncle, Wanderer is at first hated. Once the rebels accept Wanderer, whom they dub Wanda, Wanda's whole perspective on humanity changes. While the straightforward narrative is short on detail about the invasion and its stunning aftermath, it shines with romantic intrigue, especially when a love triangle (or quadrangle?!) develops for Wanda/Melanie."
Since there were so many suggestions, and quite a large cast, we’re going to break this up into a few rounds. Voting will be open for a week, then we’ll have the final playoffs of sorts, and then I’ll do a big write up about the winners.
♦ Make sure you vote for one actor in each poll, (as many times as you want) and the winner of each section will go on to the final round... and then the winner of that will be our cast member! ♦
Vote as many times as you like, the more the better!
