ian o'shea proves it's possible to still love your girlfriend, even if she was a worm 🫶 ngl stephenie kinda ate with this one. my only gripe is that stephenie meyer had to stephenie meyer and make a weird age gap at the end for no discernable reason but i can hardly let the last 15 pages dissuade me from rating this book based on how well it had me hooked the entire time. i am but a simple woman; i love a good ~yearning~ and this book was FILLED with it.

Compared to the other crap this author has dished out, this book was very, very, very good. Even compared to decent bits of writing, this book was good. I don't know what happened to Ms. Meyer's brain writing Twilight, but this book deserves 100 times more the credit than that series gets.
Interesting plot, likable characters, excellent all together.

The Host has a very intriguing storyline premise with a spunky girl who is not an easy push over for a body-snatching soul invader. For the most part, this premise kept my interest throughout the read. The reading was easy and had a nice and steady pace. It contained enough twists and turns to keep me reading, to keep me wanting more, to keep me wanting to know what will happen. Even so, it did have a few moments where the storyline dragged a bit and when it dragged - it dragged.
Even though, overall, I liked the story - I had a problem. My problem was with the characters. I felt a disconnect and disappointment with several of the characters. I need a strong connection to one or more of the characters in a story I am reading. This is a must for me to truly experience and become absorbed into the story. I found that The Host fell a bit flat in character development.
Overall, was The Host good? well...no....it was an OK read.
Did I enjoy the read? Well...Yes I did.
Is The Host an adult or YA read? It is classified as an adult read but honestly, I think this book should be put into the YA category. Seriously, it was a clean read meaning that there was no sex, no foul language, and the violence was not very graphic.
I will allow my older girls to read The Host.
