The Host by Stephenie Meyer
5.0
I will inform you that I hated the movie Twilight, I didn't even need to read the books to know they suck. (pun intended) But I saw the movie to The Host before I read the book. I enjoyed it, so I thought "Hey, I think I'll check out the book series!" I was still a little doubtful about it because of Meyer's previous series but I got it anyway... & well... I loved it! It's a very long book but I finished it in two sittings. ^-^
I usually don't like stories about alien invasions but this one had me completely enthralled from the beginning! Wanda is absolutely awesome! She did a lot of growing in this book, she learned to love a family that didn't want her at first & to love a man who originally tried to kill her. Which, I'll be honest, I though was a little psycho at first but c'mon, you just can't help loving Ian! Ian... *sigh* SO amazing! I immediately liked him when he said he felt guilty for his actions. His loyalty to Wanda was just sexy! I gotta say, I did not like Jared or Melanie. Dunno why but they didn't strike me as very likable characters... But overall, I would recommend this book to anyone. <3 Can't wait for the next one!
