The Host: A Novel

This book was truly one of the best books of this year! This author is now on my list of favorites. The souls in this book make you actually see things from their point of view which is unbelievable in a book about body snatchers!

The book starts out a bit slow. The first 60-70 pages offer a necessary backdrop for the overall story, but it could get a bit tedious. Once you have the basic info. of those first few chapters down, prepare to get totally sucked into the story. The plot, the characters, and the depth of their experiences and interactions actually gave me an appreciation for the slow start. I loved the book, it was great. I honestly believe that it is as good as any of the books in the Twilight series (which I also loved)!

I got this item with several other books... the store that sent it was prompt. I'm having a hard time getting into it. Will plug along and finish the book but not as well written as her "Twilight" series.

I am a hugh fan of twilight and other short stories by Stephenie Meyer....but this book was very hard to get into. I like books to take me to a different world emotionaly. For instance Twilight made me feel euphoric and excited for the characters. This book just felt less romance and more Si-Fi. I understand that is what the author was going for but as a Twilight Fan reading this book because I like the author I was disapointed in how different it was. So It wasnt a bad book just not my type.

I have never before reviewed a book without reading it, but I dislike vampire novels more than I can say. I don't have any idea why Amazon would recommend this for me. Please do not ever include any vampire, living dead or similar books to me.
