This is a fantastic book. The story line keeps you interested and the ending is not disappointing.

I have to say, I was more than pleasantly surprised with this story. After reading Twilight, I was hesitant to purchase this book because I worried it wouldn't hold a candle to Meyer's vampires. I was SO WRONG! Her characters in The Host are exceptionally thought out and portrayed, and the overall grim tone of the novel is set from the beginning of the first page. I was immediately drawn into this post-alien-invasion world, concerned for the humans who had been replaced. Yet as the story progressed, I fell in love with Wanderer. Looking at the world through her eyes, learning about love, loss, and human emotion through the experiences of a non-human really served as a means to evaluate one's own take on the world around them. After a slow start, I honestly couldn't put the book down. When I did have to put reading aside, I found myself eager to return to it at the first chance I got.

Loved , loved , loved this book. I actually read this book before I even read the Twilight Series so I wasn't at all thinking it would be anything than what it was. A Great Book.

The trick to this book is to not compare it to Twilight......I am reading it now and it started slow.....because I was still in Twilight land. It is turning out to be a great read. Give it a chance....you will be surprised!

I loved this book. As with her twilight series, I found myself not able to put it down. i think it was written very well and can't wait til her next book.
