The Host

[Evilplaidkitten]

I agree about the book being more enjoyable. I just found out yesterday that she plans on writing two sequels and I don't know how I feel about that. I don't feel that the story needed one and she's just looking to run with the success from the movie.

yes.. i read it last year & loved it! .. but there can't be a comparison between "twilight series" & "the host"..
both belong to different genres.. while twilight is romance & young adult, the host belongs to the science-fiction category.. though both of them are really enthralling & very well written

I read The Host, and yea movie was good also but for me it was one of those "book was better" cases. I actually enjoyed the romance better than the Edward-Bella relationship. And I saw someone said there was going to be a sequel???!! Really???

I like it also because I like the conflict between Melanie and Wanderer. I can just image all the emotions that both the host and the alien being would experience. I think it would dive me crazy with jealously that the man I loved was looking and wanting me but all I could do was watch and not be able to show or tell him that I loved without the aid of the alien who had invaded my body and took control of my life. I would not like that fact that when he kissed me that I would have to share all those feeling with the one entity that should be my biggest enemy. Although Melanie's body and life has been stolen, I feel bad for Wanderer. I think it would be confusing trying to figure out if the feelings that you are feeling are actually yours or the person who's body you have taken over. It was clear to me through the book that Wanderer had feelings for all four people that she was close I got the feeling that she loved both guys but she was truly in love with only one. By reading this book it made me wonder just how many people go through life loving more than one person and makes one stop and think about how the choices we make shape our future.

I just finished this book and I really enjoyed it. I have also read The Twilight Series and I don't know which of the two I like better. I think it is hard to compare because they are different genres. However, I did really enjoy The Host, it kept me on my toes and wanting to read for hours on end (which I did). Now, after finishing it I want to go see if the movie lives up to the book and I certainly hope it does!!

The book was really good. The movie came off kind of cheesy and almost comical. I think it was just too hard to put the internal conversations on screen.

I loved The Host, thought that it was a thousand times better then the twilight saga. I can't wait for the rest of the series to be written:-) however, i felt that the moviè of The Host was badly done.

The book is a great read but the movie doesn't do it justice

[ladylioness]

The book was way better than the movie. I dont have proper words to describe the movie, but it seems they dumbed it down or teeny-fied it for a pre-teen audience.

I struggled with this book. I got through it although not a book I would re-read as took me a long time to get through. Felt like it had been written by a different author as the style seemed so different to Twilight.

I really enjoyed The Host. It was the book that set off my passion for reading! I enjoyed that it was your not so typical sci-fi book. It was about these type of Aliens or souls that come and take over Earth causing us to live in a perfect world. But of course there are those who fight back. The story takes off when one of the resistance gets captured and turned into one of the souls. This story has it all. The romance, action, and compelling story line. I recommend this book!

The Host is Amazing!and yes i agree....its better than twilight

[Lhall22]

I enjoyed this book so much better than Twilight. I can't wait for the sequel. I saw someone mention in an earlier post that she will write a sequel, so I hope she indeed goes through with it

I actually loved The Host. It started off slow, but I soon got very into the book. I prefer it over Twilight, I think. At one point, I thought it was going to be two more books to the series, but I guess not. I have read The Host twice and saw the movie a couple of times. The movie was not that good, but I do always like to see a book on film.

I haven't watched the movie but really enjoyed the book.
May have to hire it and see how the two compare.
