by Stephenie Meyer
I needed to find a book that I knew I would enjoy; a familiar story that hadn't become monotonous. So, I started the Host again last week. We drove to Las Vegas and back over the weekend, so I had plenty of time to read (between starting videos and handing drinks and snacks to the back seat). Anyway, I really enjoy Meyer's writing.
A human is one of a handful left after alien invasion. She is taken over, but hasn't lost herself...her story of living is such a tale of being a strong spirit. I love the details and tidbits that make this story complete. It is, understandably, not a quick read; but captivating, nonetheless.
This book is one of a very few adult books that I have read more than once and will likely read again.
Although it is science fiction, it doesn't seem so far-fetched and unlikely that I have to learn a completely knew vocabulary. I LOVE this book!!

I keep trying to read it but can't get past the first 30 or so pages each time I start! Ugh! Everyone says it's good...but I need help getting past the beginning ha ha. I even took it to the cabin last Saturday for our "Girl's Day"...I didn't read one page :/
ReplyDeleteI was so mad about Breaking Dawn that I gave up on Meyers. Maybe I'll give this one a try, but I have reservations.
ReplyDeleteThe beginning was hard for me, but then I became enthralled with it!
