I read this book to see if Stephenie Meyer would change her style from Twilight to The Host. She didn't. Men are still carrying girls in their arms while running.
Anyways, the beginning was really slow. It took me a couple of times to read it because I'd put it down after the first or second page. I had no context for this book, however, so that might have been why it was a little more difficult for me to understand what in the world was going on.
This book's concept was definitely interesting. I wish it focused a little more on the souls instead of the sappy love story. I'd recommend it to those who enjoyed Twilight.

Another twisted Stephanie Meyer story of a weird and twisted love triangle that you shamefully can't put down! Twilight was about a teenage girl falling in love with a 100+ year old guy that is a vampire. This one is about aliens that take over human bodies and this human body is still strong and leads the alien to go searching for the man she loves. So strange but still sucks u in.
explores the psychological horror of “would you still love me if I was a worm?”

After wanting to read this book for years, and coming off of the back of reading all of Twilight at the end of last year, I’m really glad I got to listen to The Host at last!

I didn’t expect it, but the way I’m feeling right now is exactly how I felt when I read Twilight for the first time at 16. I wish I had finished this book when I first picked it up back then - but maybe it found its way back to me at the perfect time.
I love Wanda so much it hurts. My heart was bursting by the end, knowing that she finally found a home - and that all the love she so selflessly gave finally came back to her. It was everything she deserved.
Stephenie Meyer, I truly wish you never stopped writing. You’ve always had a way of gripping my heart.
Some books indeed don’t leave you - they just wait until you’re finally ready to feel it fully.

I had been sure to give this book 4 out of 5 stars and after some final chapters :) they punched at my heart and changed my mind significantly :(
I had been so reluctant to start reading this because i took this book for a true sci-fi and fantasy book. After started reading it, i realized this is just all about simple and cozy story :) and it was worth every freaking time reading it :)
