 Great Book July 23, 2008

I have never read the Twilight books, but since reading this one I ordered them. Science fiction is not one of my favorite reads, but I could not put this one down and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys a great story.
 ZZZZ! July 23, 2008

While I like the Twilight Saga this one emphasizes just how little depth Meyer's story have. Host was horrendously boring, made absolutely no sense, and constantly contradicted itself. I didn't finish it, it was just that unbearable.
 Solid Read - but a little slow July 23, 2008

Being a huge fan of The Twilight series, like almost everyone else that posted a review, I decided to give The Host a read. It is a slow and somewhat uneventful plot, but Stephanie Meyer's true talent is in her character development. Once you get to know The Wanderer, Melanie, Jared and the rest, you need to know what happens to them all. This need to know what happens to the characters motivated me to read the whole book and finish it, even though there was no true climax, no true suspense, etc. It is a good read, not excellent, but good.
Great new book July 23, 2008
The Host is very different kind of book for this author and as sach may cause some wondering from her devoted readers. It has sci-fi elements in the story but is not hardcore. It follows the life of a human host who fights the invasion of her body by a soul parasite that wants to take over. How both struggle to keep alive and become two in one body is a very interesting tale. Two entities co-existing on one body with independent thought and feeling has to make for a great reading. Once again Stephenie had created a great book and proven that she is not just a vampire writer.

Definitely a page turner July 22, 2008
Absolutely awesome book. I am not big on the whole science fiction aspect of anything, but The Host is definitely a must-read, and a highly-likely to read again! Wow, Stephenie Meyer is an incredible writer. No wonder my daughter and all her friends love her series... I'll be reading those next!
