Oh boy. My first book of 2019 and I decided that for some reason, I should go back to a book I read as a teenager because I watched a crappy movie adaptation of it that refused to leave my mind for days.
Yep, it's ‘The Host’ by Stephenie Meyer, perhaps the most hated woman in literature. And what can I say? It's trashy. But it's not Twilight, thank god. It's got a decent enough concept that certainly warrants a better story to go with it, but the other, less pretentious part of my brain honestly enjoys the stupid romance between Ian and Wanda. It's just so sweet. Gah!
I can't really say much more about this, but it's not terrible. It's a YA novel, so it comes with all of the problems of the genre - love triangles (or a love square in this case), passive protagonist (which there's actually and excuse for in this novel plot wise) and generally not a lot of action. But for what it is, it's fine. Interesting concepts, not a terrible read, but definitely a bit too long for the contents of the book.
Recommended? Eh, not really. But if it tickles your very specific brand of fancy, then go for it I say!
