    It's quite interesting the book actually and way longer than the Twilight saga if you ask me (and also better)

    And yes,I highly recommend it for those who are into Sci-Fi.

    Anyone read it?I'm in Chapter 22

    just finished it two days ago the plot line to the end was absolutely wonderful and then she completely killed it...

    not a good ending at all...

    its like she rushed at the last minute...

    I bought it & finished it that night at like 2 or 3 in the morning. I couldn't put it down.
    Might be just me, but I loved it. =]

    I was planning on getting the book a few weeks ago, but i didn't have enough money to get it. I know the lead character's name is Melanie, and that's just about it. It seems like a wonderful book to read and i can't wait <3

    How come this book is an Adult book? Are there are sex scenes or foul language? I was wondering because I sort of needed to know.

    Yeah, and I did hear that in the end she did rush it a bit. So I might not get the book, but anyhow...

    I absolutelly LOVED it <3
    I dont know why some people think its bad, its nothing like twilight.Its a whole new universe.
    Stephenie Meyer is a great author, she can obviously write a complete different story which is just great

    Anyone here read "The Host"? I just got it today, and I'm almost done reading it... Like, 30 odd pages to go.
    It doesn't really get much attention, since Twilight would obviously overshadow it, what with the huge fanbase and everything... I like The Host better... it seems a bit less cliche.

    I plan on reading The Host after I'm done with Breaking Dawn. I've got maybe 100 pages left. From some of my friends who've read the book, it's really good, which that's not a shock since the book was written by Stephanie Meyer :'D

    Oh that book is great, I really liked it. I dont understand why people dont like it,they say its really messed up. Yes it is a bit confusing and hard to explain to other people but The host is an excellent book.

    Like it better than Twilight and thats for sure

    I've had that book on my bookshelf for some time now. I haven't really read it yet, because when I read the prologue, it was really confusing. D:
    But I plan on reading it sometime soon. <3

    I loved this book.

    Great characters and a great story ( creative ) :'D
    * spoilerI loved the part when Jared and Wanda took off to steal the medicine for Melanie's brother.

    They're going to release two more books if I'm not mistaken and I can't wait. :3
