This is by far the best book I've read for a while. "The Host" is a suspenseful story set in the future. Stephenie Meyer has outdone herself once again with a book that makes you reflect on society, and what it means to be human. Don't expect a vampire love story here; you will be pleasantly surprised with an action-packed romance that really makes you think.
I bought this book for my wife because she is a big twilight fan. She says that she really likes the book alot but it not as entertaining as the twilight books were. She says it is a very good book but not her style.
It is not all ET. Ok, I will admit I only got this book because I liked the Twilight series and what a pleasant suprise. It is quite gripping. I hate sci-fi books and I loved this one. There is a love story and a tragedy that I did not expect to find. You will really enjoy it. I have never posted a review before this so I had to
However, a little of both in this really exciting adventure novel from Stephenie Meyer. The story itself is about having ones back to the wall and the possible end to the reign of humans on this earth. SciFi, not really. Because you really have to accept the somewhat flawed concept. Yes. "The Host", has got to be read by anyone who would be interested in either topic. It is, I suppose, also about the readers ability to fantasize, to become one with those who are part of the story, and believe in its possibility.
Meyer is adept at developing the characters, and so capable of moving them from an almost, but not quite, impossible beginning to an almost, but not quite impossibly wonderous ending. Fantasy, only somewhat. Ms. Why only four stars when the novel is truly that much fun to read, and so interesting that it is almost impossible to not read in one sitting. Okay, I did, and then I embarked on a wonder filled adventure. Anger, deception, hatred, acceptance, and love explode across the pages. I am a believer and I loved it.
Reading the 1 and 2 star reviews I couldn`t help thinking did these people really read this book.The flow from the first page to the last was smooth the story right from the very first page was great,I read this book in 2 days.The friendship between the host and the alien was so well written.Parts made me cry,I couldn`t put it down.I sometimes wonder if the bad reviews are from other authors who are just jealous of SM sucess.
