jthunter24 's review for:
The Host
by Stephenie Meyer
Disappointing. After reading the Twilight series (and for the most part liking them) I was interested in reading another Meyer novel but excited about a more grown-up sci-fi novel. Unfortunately that is not what I received. After reading over 600 pages I still cannot tell you what the story is about because there really was no premise. It starts with a bang and sucks you into a story about the human population becoming extinct at the hand of alien parasites who inhabit human bodies but soon fizzles into a melodramatic love story about a parasite and the two men who love her. The science fiction that did appear in the book was completely ridiculous and made me laugh out loud over the absurdity of it. Meyer needs to stick with the vampire/werewolf shtick that brought her popularity and leave the rest of the genre alone.
