1 out of 5 stars How did this book get on my Recommendations List?   November 30, 2008
 0 out of 15 found this review helpful

I have never before reviewed a book without reading it, but I dislike vampire novels more than I can say. I don't have any idea why Amazon would recommend this for me. Please do not ever include any vampire, living dead or similar books to me.


5 out of 5 stars More than I was expecting   November 30, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have to admit, I really enjoyed The Host. Going into it I wasn't quite sure what to expect but was hooked after a few chapters. Some may call her female characters weak but I see quite the opposite. I think it takes the strongest of people to be so sacrificing for the ones they love. This is shown once again in The Host with Melanie and Wanderer. My only complaint is that I still didn't feel like I was reading an adult novel. Kind of the same problem I had with the Twilight series. I wanted a little more maturity out of her writing this time around, and while the emotion was definitely there, I think her writing could still use some improvement. However, I'd still highly recommend this book.


5 out of 5 stars LOVED IT!!   November 28, 2008

I listen to this on audio CD. It was lent to me and I loved it. It was my 1st audio and I had to go buy a portable CD player so I could listen at work I was so hooked. I found excuses to run to the store in the evening so I could listen and find out what happened next, I recommend this to anyone.


1 out of 5 stars Not something Fans of Twilight will enjoy   November 27, 2008
 0 out of 4 found this review helpful

this book was one of the worst I have ever read, and I wanted to finish this book because I loved the Twilight Sagas, but it was a real chore to finish this one....it dragged, and dragged and like many of the other people writing poor reviews of this book, I agree with them....This book is boring and if you are looking for a good read that makes you excited, this book is NOT for you.


2 out of 5 stars oddness   November 26, 2008
 0 out of 5 found this review helpful

i got the book, and its in perfect condition,
looks fine....
but when i open it from the front cover, i realize that the book binding is flipped.
instead of having the imprint of little, brown publishing on the front, it is on the bottom back.
it doesn't really affect me,
but i thought that i should share this information
