 The Host December 3, 2008
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.
 Disapointing December 2, 2008
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.
 How did this book get on my Recommendations List? November 30, 2008

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.
 More than I was expecting November 30, 2008

I have to admit, I really enjoyed The Host. Going into it I wasn't quite sure what to expect but was hooked after a few chapters. Some may call her female characters weak but I see quite the opposite. I think it takes the strongest of people to be so sacrificing for the ones they love. This is shown once again in The Host with Melanie and Wanderer. My only complaint is that I still didn't feel like I was reading an adult novel. Kind of the same problem I had with the Twilight series. I wanted a little more maturity out of her writing this time around, and while the emotion was definitely there, I think her writing could still use some improvement. However, I'd still highly recommend this book.
LOVED IT!! November 28, 2008

I listen to this on audio CD. It was lent to me and I loved it. It was my 1st audio and I had to go buy a portable CD player so I could listen at work I was so hooked. I found excuses to run to the store in the evening so I could listen and find out what happened next, I recommend this to anyone.
