Who has read The Host?

I finally graduated college in December and have more time than I know what to do with (med-school doesn't start until May). That 25 book challenge some of you ladies are doing looks like a cake walk to me. :)

I ordered The Host from Amazon and it should come today. I don't really know what to expect and actually haven't read anything about it other than that it is an "adult" novel and about aliens? Whoo... Maybe some sex instead of fade to black?

  • I haven't read it, but have heard some decent things about it.

  • I loved it! It is slow at first for some people but the ending is fabulous!

  • I read it. At first i didnt think i would be able to finish it cause it was very slow. But all of a sudden, it picked up and i was hooked. I ended up liking it!
  • I really liked it. (But don't be expecting the sex. tee hee.)

    Thanks Y_L. I didn't want to spoil it for them! If SM didn't have 3 sons, I would wonder if she had ever had sex. She sure doesn't like to talk about it much!

    Yah, I wasn't sure if it would be a spoiler or not. 

    I know what you mean...she could have worked at least a little bit of action in there! I just didn't want anyone to have unrealistic expectations. There is some hot kissing! Yes

  • I want to read it, but I'm afraid it might be a little too "out there" for me. I don't get into sci-fy stuff very often (which I heard it was sci-fyish), so I'm not sure if I'd read it. Let me know what you think, though!

    I'm not a big sci-fi fan, but it was not too sci-fi at all.

    Hmm, ok then, I might have to consider it! Thanks.

    I mean, it is about aliens who take over the planet and inhabit the bodies of humans, but, just like Twilight isn't super "vampire," The Host isn't super sci-fi, even with a sci-fi plot. (If that makes sense)

  • Ah, I see. I thought I would never read a book about vampires either, and look where I am now! Thanks :)
