A review by laural444
The Host by Stephenie Meyer

2.0

It sucked me in, but I'm annoyed that Stephanie Meyer always asks her readers to believe in things that don't seem very possible. I'm not talking about believing in aliens or vampires, but she asks a lot when she wants me to believe that someone who has a soul forced into her body learns to care about it. Even if the soul apparently cares about the person's brother and boyfriend. And the souls are mostly non-violent? But why would they consider wiping out a human non-violent, even if they thought it was helping the earth?

Also, the scene where Wanda decides to save Kyle, even though he was trying to kill her, was so annoying and embarrassingly sappy that I wished it wasn't in the book.

I enjoyed reading it, but it wasn't a good book.
