Frustrating

"My firmest hopes of future happiness were placed on the prospect of your union" (page 42)

The relationship between Vick and Liz is kinda confusing. I feel like if I lived with a guy my age from the age of 5ish, I would grow up with him like a brother, not a lover. A sibling relationship would be inevitable. But I guess it is a sci-fi book, so crazy thing happen.

I think it is interesting that they take the same side in the whole Justine-William drama. Because even though Liz doesn't even know about Mario or anything, she sides with Justine and Vick. That's love? Right? Man, I'm out of stuff to talk about. I hate the perfectness of this novel.
I feel like Mary is just copping out a whole lot.
First of all-this relationship, definitely shouldn't work. And then her explanation of how the monster came to be-way too easy. Everything is just so oversimplified.. I'll try to find another quote. Okay, what about how the monster just left.. no explanation of how that happened or anything. And I think the biggest example- Mario's speech is impeccable! Yeah, right he learned all that on his own.

  1. I agree Mary, this novel is just too perfect. Perhaps all major characters will die so that it at least has a terrible cop-out ending
