The Host: A Novel |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: I tore through this1in less than2days...
Comments: I really loved it. I was invested in the characters, cared what happened to them, laughed and cried... Meyer is an easy read and her writing style flows well (at least in my head). Hey, it was entertaining and I cared about how it would end (even if I did not love how ething was "resolved"). Guess they just had to leave it open for another book, huh? |

Summary: A surprise
Comments: In October I finished the Twilight Saga, and found it hard to pick up another book. I did not want to be disappointed. I had purchased up Stephenie Meyer's book "The Host" in the books store a couple of times however I did not think it would interest me. Then I read a book review. It said that "The Host" was for those people that say they they do not read alien books, just like "Twilight" was for those people that say they do not read books about vampires. So, I decided to give it a shot.
I was surprised. I really liked it. There is danger, love, and you just can not put the book down. I just wonder how Stephenie comes up with these ideas. Eventhough it is an adult novel, the story line is mild enough that young adults could read it too. Just like I fell in love with the characters from "Twilight", I can not get the characters in this book out of my mind. you will fall in love with them too.
So, if you liked "Twilight", I am pretty certain you will like this book too. |

Summary: More great writing, more mature characters...
Comments: She really does pull you into her stories. Twilight Series books were as great as eone said they were, so this was a no brainer. You do have to be able to untangle yourself from the Edward Bella obsession and accept this novel on its own. She is great because she pulls you in so deeply, becoming emotionally invested in the characters. I am not a sci-fi reader, however I really did enjoy this. Same great writing, older characters. This would appeal more to adults since we rarely seek out teenage characters. Young adult may not relate as much, however you should give it a try anyway. OPEN MIND... She is allowed to write something different. The main characters are mid-twenties instead along with other smaller characters ranging from kids to older adults. Dripping with the sexual tension she builds so well. Not graphically sexual, however leaving the same breathlessness as the Twilight books. THis is such an interesting approach to sci-fi and alien invasion. Not unlike her fresh approach to the overdone vampire genre, she took sci-fi and made it a great story for those who would not normally grab a sci-fi book. Enjoy. |
