Re: The Caves
the first time I read the book I was completely clueless as to the layout of the caves. I know Stephenie was describing them in what seemed like a pretty detailed way but it was just going right over my head. I just read on thinking "I'm sure Stephenie knows what she's talking about, I'll just take her word for it that it makes sense"
But upon reading it for the second time I actually started getting a picture of how certain rooms and tunnels were connected, which was really cool actually, even if my mental picture of things were way off, I figure it doesn't really matter, it helped the story flow better for me.

Edward talks to me in my head.....they tried to give me medication for that but I wouldn't let them.

Re: The Caves
My hubby and I have been to several caves and caverns around the country, so I didn't have any problems picturing the set up. I haven't been to any in Arizona, though, so I looked at the pix on SM's website for reference. Very cool idea to set the human post in caves!

Re: The Caves
I've been to caves before,
and god do I know how dark and scary they can be.
But when I read the Host, I never really got a clear understanding of the layout of the caves. I think I managed to picture the storage room and the places where the bedrooms were, but where the cornfield thing and the bathing pool etc with the 2 rivers - I was so disoriented when I thought of those.
I think it would be efficient if SM had put a map in the beginning of the book....

Re: The Caves
I was really confused about the layout of the caves. At first I didn't even know that they were in caves! I found out about the caves by reading the about me sections of the characters myspaces lol!
Anyways, they are kinda creepy, I mean its a cave. Well, the whole story takes place in them, so you kinda have to get used to them.

Re: The Caves
I also have been in caves a few times throughout my life. I was able to picture the layout well enough that it helped the story (in my mind. I could be way off from what she saw!!) I love how these people are using the caves as a safe house. It makes sense. She did a wonderful job on describing them and writing the book!!

Re: The Caves
I would love to see an artist's depiction of the caves. I have my own idea and I think Stephenie described them well. Maybe a fan will post a drawing? <hint, hint>

Re: The Caves
Did anybody see the Greenbrier hotel top-secret bunger in Yahoo! today? here's the vid...http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3812119/10436815
That reminded way to much of the caves(except more rocky). It said they snuck supplies in at night. whoa.
I didn't know there were actual places like that. . .
This is what I picture the "Recreational area" looking like. . .

And the "Parking Garage". . .

A "hallway". . .

The "main plaza". . .
