 Amazing! May 17, 2008
I could not put this down. I liked her other novels but this one really spoke to me. The characters are so well developed, it just draws you in. The 'aliens' are so vibrant and also appealing, she has done an amazing job telling a layered story. I would recommend this book to any Sci Fi fan.
No Spoilers Ahead! May 17, 2008

Wow! The Host was such an amazing novel, Stephenie has definetly another hit going for her. I can't say that it was better than the twilight series not because it wasn't good enough, but because it was much too different to be compared to it they should be put into different categories. This book had me laugh, cry, and scream for the main character (Whom happens to be an alien). The emotions were so captivating that after finishing the novel you can't help but meditate on it and have your own little emotional journey (hee hee or maybe thats just me). This is an unforgettable story and it is definetly worth reading! Definetly worth all 5 stars.
Transported out of my everyday.. May 16, 2008
I read the first 3 chapters and simply couldn't put this book down.. I'm not going to do a review or a dissection of the book, read on if that's what you're looking for.
I will compare the writing of this author to a few authors who transport me out of my everyday.. where the books are so well written that I go back for more. Authors like Jacqueline Carey, Sharon Shinn, Diane Gabaldon, or Robin Mckinley.. If you appreciate these authors you most likely will not be disappointed.
I LOVE IT! May 16, 2008
I was drawn into this book after about page 80. It was everything I've ever dreamed of in a science fiction book, but it's actually a love story that's very complicated. I don't want to give anything away, but Stephenie is the most talented writer I've ever had the pleasure of reading. May just send Steph's parents a Thank You letter!
She Hits Another One Out of the Park! May 16, 2008
I was already a big Stephenie Meyer fan before reading The Host. The Host has made me a die-hard fan. While her writing style may not be the most sophisticated, her characters are so *real* that you can't help but care deeply about what happens to them. Just like I love Bella and Edward from the Twilight books, I truly began to love Wanda and Ian in this book. My favorite book ever is Little Women, because Louisa May Alcott does a superb job of making the reader feel as if you're really living a lifetime with the characters; that's how Meyer makes you feel about her characters. The plot is exciting, and the ending is extremely satisfying. I know now that I will read anything and everything that Stephenie Meyer ever publishes!
