I have never taken the time to write a review before but the utter awfulness of this book inspired me. I thoroughly enjoyed the Twilight series but had to force myself to the end of this book in hopes that something would redeem it. Could not believe the rating on Amazon, of all my friends not one person would recommend this book!

I eally enjoyed this book! It was well written, easy to picture, but not overly wordy, and packed with literary goodies! I just wish it would have ended with a little more punch!

I am also secretly hoping there really will be a next book :)
Thanks for a great read!

In desperate need of a good editor, "The Host" tells the classic body snatcher story from the view of the parasites. While the premise was interesting, nothing about the actual story is that engrossing. Apparently we are such emotional beings that our emotions cause parasites and humans alike to act irrationally at every turn. The characters are at best stereotypes. We have Jeb, the crazy yet kindly old man. The brothers, one who is kind and gentle and the other is hot-headed and mean. The women who are distrustful ... Read More
