The HostNovember 22, 2008 Not what I was expecting... Once i got into the book I just couldn't put it down I hope there is a sequel to this novel. The story was very different but I loved every bit of it..
The Host is GREAT!November 21, 2008 Well, I read the reviews on Twilight and I do agree with many of the reviews. The book was an easy read and it went against many of the norms of the ideas we have of vampires, however, I like a little imagination and something new...so that brings me to The Host!! which I thought was a great book which took me into a genre I have never thought I would enjoy, SciFi, not that it's completely SciFi, but it's really more SciFi than I'm used to reading, (I'm in Law School, so when I read for leisure I DO take it easy...lol) but i really did enjoy this book even though I thought it was a slow read at first it did get better so it was worth it in the end. The one unfortunate thing, about the book is that Wanderer is a bit like Bella, she "shudders" at many thoughts, mainly her love interest being away from her or being hurt..not sure what all that is about...but I think that was the worst part of the book, at least for me it was...I honestly want a second book to come out because as you may have read it seems that Wanderer is not so unique within her kind as she thought she was. So...it's a good read after all and I can't wait to see if there is more to come in connection with The Host. Thx!

After reading the Twilight Saga, I HAD to read The Host. I really like how this book is completely different from the Twilight Series and still is a romance novel. Stephenie Meyer uses a lot of creativity in this book that I respect. If you like Fantasy or Sience Fiction, you will probably like this book. After reading it I was hoping for a sequel.
The Host: A NovelNovember 20, 2008 I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have always been a fan of sci-fi and this is definitely one of the best. Not since "The Ship Who Sang" have I enjoyed sci-fi so much. I can't wait to read Stephenie Meyer's next book.
HorridNovember 20, 2008 I have never taken the time to write a review before but the utter awfulness of this book inspired me. I thoroughly enjoyed the Twilight series but had to force myself to the end of this book in hopes that something would redeem it. Could not believe the rating on Amazon, of all my friends not one person would recommend this book!
