The Host

I have recieved emails and posts about this book and yes I've read it. Thanks everyone for suggesting! I actually picked it up when it was first released sometime in May. I do like it, though this book and the Twilight books do have one bad factor in common. They both star a whiny girl who irritates me in the beginning of the book.

Both Twilight and The Host take about 40 - 50 pages of suffered reading before it picks up and starts to get good. There may be some of you who disagree, but here's my proof. At the start of Twilight, Bella is going on and on about how sucky Forks is. And at the start of The Host, Wanderer goes on and on about how sucky it is to be inside Melanie. So, I suffered through both beginnings, but was rewarded in the end.

I would still recommend The Host to most readers. It's got just enough action, sci-fi, and love story to keep you going. I actually think it would make an interesting movie too. Ian and Jared sound just as awesome as Edward and the only reason I think that is because Ian sounds more "real" to me. Like he could actually exist.

And I know there are a lot of Edward lovers out there dying of heart attacks right now, but it's true. I actually like the love triangle she has going on in The Host; and just so you know, it's not at all irritating like the love triangle in Twilight. In The Host you actually like everyone involved and it all ends well. Anyway, that's my small plug for Stephenie's "other" book.
