Boring Rehashed Plot October 2, 2008
Okay, let me say that Meyer's "Twilight" series was a fun quick read...an excellent way to escape. So when I got 'The Host' was interested, especially since this was suppose to be more...mature. I read all the reviews and what not, so I knew it got off to a really slow start. I got up 2\3 to the end...and couldn't take it anymore. I found the plot predictable like all alien bodysnatcher stories, and did not feel or connect with any of the somewhat whiney characters. I really tried to give this book a serious shot, and after frequent breaks with other books, it didn't change...and even though I absolutely hate not finishing a book or movie once I start it (no matter how good or bad), I had to stop. However strangely enough I don't feel so bad or guilty...for the first time...huh.

Entertaining Read but Juvenile October 1, 2008
Though equally as entertaining as her twilight series, the Host fails to reach the more mature audience it is marketed to. The plot revolves around the same Romeo and Juliet tragic love story as her other books and the twists and turns of her characters emotions are more complicated than complex. The scramble at the end to make a PC 'happy ending' and the reveal at the end of a 'life lesson' are also geared toward a younger audience. Meyer's easy, black and white morality leaves this book seeming more fairy tale than sci-fi. Recommended for younger audiences and disney loving adults.

better than I expected! October 1, 2008
So I did like the Twilight books alot. When I heard about the Host I was wary. Alien invasion? Been done before.. Not my type of thing I guess. Now that I've read it, I am very surprised. I didn;t expect it to be this good! I really became attached to the characters and really got involved with them. Yes it starts out slow but good. Sorry for doubting you Stephanie! I found it to be a great read. Looking forward to whats next.
