I thoroughly enjoyed The Host and I have reread it many times. I actually recommended it to a friend about a year ago and mentioned to her that I would love someone to make a movie from the book. I might just have gotten my wish. I loved the book. It was exciting, emotional, suspenseful at times. If I could pick who would play Melanie, it would be Anne Hathaway, Reese Witherspoon or Kate Beckinsale.

I am in the process of reading “The Host” by Stephenie Meyer. The book is defiantly something that Meyer came up with herself. The book is truly a little confusing and unique for her writing style, with making herself known by “Twilight” as her debut novel in 2000-2001. It was truly unexpected to us “Twilight” fans when she released “The Host” shortly after “Eclipse”, the third book in “The Twilight Saga.” Personally, I love her writing, though I wasn’t to pleased with the way that “Breaking Dawn” ended. I was hoping that Bella would end up with Jacob, I thought that he suited her more then Edward did. But oh well, “This too shall pass.” Overall, what I have read of “The Host” is getting better and clearer, I put the book down for some time and looked up on it to clear my perspective on it. But now that I understand it more, I am excited to pick the book back up again.

The Thought of making a movie at first came to me as a surprise, and now that I know generally how they are going to do it, I am excited about it and I hope that Stephenie Meyer will be participating in this one too. The movie of “Twilight,” I thought, was a huge waist of my time, but “New Moon” is set to come out in about 50 days, and it looks like it will be so much better then “Twilight,” I already have my tickets for the Midnight Matinee.

No sparlking vampires= no one will see it. Really? Who could pass on such wondefully written literature as Twi- hahahahahah I’m sorry, I lost it on that one. She’s terrible. Don’t take my word for it though. I wish a venerated veteran(consonance, playas) writer would express an opinion on her work. Someone universally respected by the literary community. Someone like…I dunno, Stephen King? Oh wait.

well, i loved the twilight saga, but the host was even better. it was creative, and it really made you think. i’m excited, but also a little afraid of what the movie will be like. i hope they won’t get it wrong!

I read the book and I liked it, but I’m still not a fan of the weak women she writes. Although I shouldn’t because it makes them more real I guess.

So we’ll see

this is the only one of Myer’s books that I’ve read and (IMO ) its a really good story.
I think that this could make a good movie.

I didn’t “hate” it. I thought it was uninteresting. It was mediocre. It put me to sleep.

Her book the Host is nothing like Dark City, completely different concept. The story started off a bit slow, but once it got going i was actually really intrigued by the story and characters. I really enjoyed it, very good story. Definately not teen angst, much more of an adult story. I’d probably describe it as a love story/thriller. It had a very interesting plot, very new approach at scifi. Nothing like the Twilight saga, which I also enjoyed. This could actually make for a very good dramatic scifi movie if given the right attention. And can you imagine…an new idea for a movie instead of a remake/reboot…what will they think of next!?!?

That sounds like a great idea, I wonder though what they’ll cut out because as crazy as it sounds, pretty much every page was needed. The Host was much better than Twilight but it still has flaws, especialyl with characters but it was a lot better than Twilight and itwas a suprisingly good read.

I agree with Lenna. This book was way better than the twilight series (and I really enjoyed the twilight series). I never thought it would be made into a movie and I have to say I am VERY excited.

There is also a clothing line out for this book.

I will agree that you can see her writing mature in The Host. Less use of “she muttered”. There was excessive overuse of that in the Twilight Saga.

Hands down The Host (novel) is way better then the entire Twilight Series. By that I mean the story and the way it was written. So I’m excited to see how this turns out

The novel is predictable and though it’s considered to be for “adults” I think she had a lot of trouble pulling herself out of the YA mentality while writing. It was uninteresting.

I will likely skip this one.
