The Host, Stephenie Meyer

Definitely NOT on the same level as the Twilight series, Meyer's new scifi book was really challenging for me to read and finish. I started at the beginning of July and just finished it this morning at 1am.

My problems with the book--it takes way too long to really understand what's going on (at least for me!), the whole premise is confusing and I wish there were a clear explanation at the beginning, I hated when the host character and the soul character were referred to as "we," instead of "she/her," and "I," and lastly, I most definitely didn't like the ending too well.

What I enjoyed--Meyer is a good storyteller, very creative, and creates awesome characters, I admire her writing style , the story (like all scifi is far-fetched) is about these little "parasites" who take over Earth and take over the humans by being inserted in host bodies....very clever satire about the future.

I want my husband to read this, I think he'd enjoy it. My mom bought me the book for my birthday, I can't say that I'll re-read, but like all books, it's great to add a new one to the shelf.
