Book Reviews of The Host: A Novel
Book Review: A Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that I started to read this book a few months ago. I struggled to get past the first chapter and then I put it down. It sat on my shelf for 5 months and I did not give it a second look. One day I had nothing new to read and was very bored so I gave it a second try. After I got a few chapters in, I could not even put the book down. I was addicted! I love the impossible love triangles in her stories. I am NOT even close to being a sci-fi fan but this was just an amazing story line. A little slow start but well worth the wait!Book Review: A Great Read
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the Host last year since I'm a fan of the Twilight books and I wanted to see what else Stephenie Meyer could do. I read the book in only a few days and loved it. The beginning is a little slow, but it sets the scene for what happens in the rest of the book. I had a mixed feeling about the end, but liked it overall. The characters and the development they go through is good, and it is interesting to read about the society Wanda is placed into and how her experiences change. Overall, it is a very good book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys science fiction and a creative topic.Book Review: A Great Read =D
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is worth reading. This is the first Sci-Fi type book that I've read, but I've read Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, and at first, I was a little sketched out about this one, but it turned out to be a fantastic read! I could not put it down; it only took me three days to read the 624 pages! The way Stephenie describes the area where the book is to take place is excellent; I could really picture what she was taking about. The soul called "Wanderer"/"Wanda" has "gone native". She adds a significant amount of helpful work to her new found friends.
The suspence and romance added together creates such a spectacular story.
The first ever, love quad(for lack of better word) between three bodies.
Overall a clever novel =D.
Book Review: A Great Read!

I love Stephenie Meyer, she has such a unique and creative way of writing. Nothing can compare to the Twilight series but The Host is a completely different type of book and I loved it! I would read anything that she writes.Book Review: A Great Story
Summary: 4 Stars
The war is over and humans have lost. The Earth was invaded by parastic aliens who call themshelves "Souls" and these "Souls" have taken over most of the bodies of human. One "Soul", Wanderer has a problem she has been given of the body of Melanie Stryder, but Melanie refuses to give up and now Mel's hopes, dreams and even desires for her love ones are becoming Wanderer's. Now the two are going on a journey to find the ones that the left behind at any cost.
"The Host" was the first book that I have read by Stephenie Meyer and it was really good. Ms.Meyer took an old science fiction idea and gave it a spin. She showed how that even the darkest times human hope always survives. While this was a great book, I couldn't give it 5 stars, because in some places it felt like the book was draging, but overall I can't wait to read another book by Stephenie Meyer.
