The Host, by Stephenie Meyer - Book Review

Stacy says go read this book. Even if you don't like sci-fi and aliens (like me) and are more into chick lit...you'll still enjoy this one!

I love the names of her chapter titles in ALL Meyer's work, lol.

when is it set? ages in the future?

[ShimmerSF]

@LAmileycyrusLA Not really that far in the future. I can't recall exactly, but close to present day, I think.

Question:What do you think?Would somebody,who loves fantasy a lot(I say fantasy not science fiction),could love this book,even if he hated Twilight?

[ShimmerSF]

Yes. Because it's NOTHING like Twilight as far as the story and plot goes.

[BluCourage]

I agree with you, this book is nothing like the Twilight series. Personally, I love this book 10x more. In the beggining of it, i wasnt in to it. But once i actually buckled down i loved it! Its actually become one of my favorite books.

When I first started reading the book I was kinda of yaahh I left it there on my desk like months but when I was off on the holidays I had nothing else to do so I read...after that I found myself stay up all night reading it I was surprised at how amazing it was I've read other books and they were boring giving every detail of what the narrator was seeing but with Steph she made you feel like you were realy there in Wanda's thought seeing what she saw feeling what she felt,loved,hated,feard.T_T

@16ILoveLA i dont wanna give to much away but no the souls completely take over the human body. the human is basically gone. the whole book is about a girl named melanie who DOES NOT want to let go so like the soul is controlling the body, but its like the sould and the girl are sharing the same mind. like the girl talks to the soul through the mind. its hard to explain. :) its a really good book. i personally think it is way better (and different) than the twilight saga :P

@kim66003 Hey, thanks for the info! Glad to hear there will be a movie :)

[kim66003]

@BigBlueEyes017 I read somewhere that SM said that if she wanted to write a sequel it was going to be called The Seeker or something.. But she's not really sure. AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A MOVIE :D

[kim66003]

@16ILoveLA No, the humans kinda fade away,, so they actually die. Melanie is one of those strong humans that stay in their body but can't control it so there are 2 souls in Mel's body: 1 alien, 1 human.

@Beforeidi It starts really slow ( I know) and you don't understand ANYTHING about the alien stuff so that's why I stopped at the beginning of chapter 2 xD. But you should really read further because it gets better! I promise! (unless ur really into sci-fi because this book isn't really a sci-fi book xD)
