Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Falls Flat in a Big WayI'm an adult fan of the Twilight series, so I (like everyone else) bought The Host. I'm not comparing them, but Meyer does cut-and-paste obvious phrases directly out of Twilight (i.e. my eyes filled with moisture). None of the characters are likeable, and the protaganist is one of the most annoying characters I've ever read. Every opportunity for excitement has a big build up but then never goes anywhere. For example, she has Wanderer roaming aimlessly in a cave, and Meyer spends 2 pages of dialog describing the blackness and this object that she has fallen against. It was just a bag of rice! And she spent 2 pages describing it! The book is so thick because she does things like this over and over. It has an interesting premise, but Meyer just doesn't do anything with it. I wouldn't recommend it. I was so bored I had to make myself slog through to the end. Rating:  - Loved it!I have loved all of the Twilight series so far, and in waiting for the last installment I picked up The Host. The story is amazing, a little long winded in some parts but the core of the story and the emotions are perfect. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Meyer's other books. Rating: - Great read!My teenage daughters love reading books by Stephenie Meyer so when she came out with a book written for adults I thought I'd give it a try. I don't typically read sci fi or romance books but The Host: A Novel was both entertaining and thought provoking. It was slow at the beginning but once it got going I had a hard time putting it down. I look forward to reading future books by Meyer. Rating: - must readHaving fallen in love with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, I had to have this one. Once again, she draws you in within the first few sentences and holds onto you until the very last page. Vivid and moving.
