autumnrook 's review for:

The Host by Stephenie Meyer
4.0

This book started out terribly depressing to me, but it grew on me quickly as a little hope started to build in the characters. I loved the complexities of the alien invaders and the strength displayed by the main character's human mind. My only complaint is Stephenie Meyer's tendency to write too-neat endings where everyone is happy, no matter how unlikely that is. She would have done better to leave a little tragedy in the ending.
