The Host Redux Chapters 31 and 32

Chapter 31
Needed

So, Wanderer is going to see Walter (guy who's going to die soon so he doesn't really matter) because he thinks that she is his wife, Gladys (or, as I like to think of her in my mind, GLADOS.)

This is so useless. We don't know Walter well enough to care about him, so why is this sequence even in here? It's so superfluous.

“The pain's too much for him to stay conscious. Let him be,” Doc said.
"Okay, Nowhere Man. You be the Fool on the Hill. See if I care."

Brandt was not a big man like Kyle or Ian; he was probably only a few inches taller than me,
but he was thick and solid as a rhinoceros.
Few inches taller than I, bitch.

The Seeker's coming after Wanderer with a helicopter, but don't be fooled, there will no action in this book.

“Rope?” Doc echoed blankly.
I thought that said "rape" for a second.

“Come on, Doc. Don't be stupid. You've got some big vents in here, and a lot of reflective
metal.” Brandt gestured to a file cabinet against the far wall. “You let your attention wander for half a minute, and it'll be flashing signals to that Seeker.”
Yeah, because I'm sure the Seeker will be able to see a reflection from a helicopter coming from a FUCKING CAVE UNDERGROUND with no sunlight present.

This chapter is so useless.

“There's enough to stop the pain for maybe three or four days, that's all,” Jared said. “If you
give it to him in doses.”
No shit, you fucking moron. I'm so sure they're going to give him ALL THE PAINKILLERS AT THE SAME TIME.

Chapter 32
Ambushed

ZOMG YOU GUYS, THERE'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING HAPPENING!

Kyle ambushes (I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR, SMEYER) Wanderer (I actually just forgot her name there for like, a minute) in the bathhouse thingie.

DAMMIT, there's so much TALK. JUST GET TO THE ACTION, ALREADY.

How is it possible that even a fight scene is boring in this book? Seriously. I can't even get the motivation to describe it. All you have to know is that Kyle attacks her, he starts to fall in a hole or something, and then she saves him.
