#0095 The Host - Stephanie Meyer

For books like The Host, I merely read because I'm curious. Yes, I've read the entire Twilight series and the more I've thought about it, the more I dislike it. Many people like it because it has a lot of sexual tension. And quite frankly, it is a mindless read, if you have no time to sit and ponder about the book. Anyway, this is not Twilight, it's another one of her books. 

I wanted to see what else she could come up with. I'm tired of vampires and love stories. I've never been one for romance novels. The Host isn't one of those, thank goodness. It was super cheap at a used bookstore (my favorite kind of bookstore) and I heard that it was more of an "adult book". 

Aliens. Like, a soul of an alien takes over a human's body and then controls them. The human just kind of fades away. The only way you can tell who is human and who is not is a human doesn't have a scar on the back of their necks. There are few humans left. And they have this underground place so they can keep safe and they end up capturing on of these aliens. 

The writing is the same as in Twilight. For the book to be so long, nothing really happens. There's no war, no big fights. The scene is mostly held in their underground cave kinda of thing to where the alien is locked up most of the time. To me it was almost a waste of time to read. It did keep my attention, but I grew bored. So, with that said I probably won't be reading anymore of Meyer's books if she comes out with any more. 2.5 stars
