A review by wafaasher
The Host by Stephenie Meyer

4.0

I went into this book with really low expectations, since I had already read the Twilight series (and hadn't enjoyed it much). I thought this would be a cheesy novel with unbelievable characters. I only read it because I was on vacation and had already finished all the books I had brought along.
This was my last resort.
I was genuinely surprised by this book. I thought the plot was original and intriguing. The book wasn't romance-driven and had many other aspects to it, unlike Twilight. The love triangle wasn't cliched. It was interesting, actually, since it was very complex and not really a love "triangle".
I liked the characters and enjoyed reading about them. Although I didn't get emotionally attached with them, I think this book was a huge step towards good writing for Stephenie.
The book was well written and VERY engaging
Enjoyed it loads! It definitely deserves 4 stars.

PS. I am really excited for the movie! I don't like the actress who plays Melanie/wanderer BUT MAX IRONS HOLY SHIT
