Having read the Twilight Saga books by Stephanie Meyer and loving them, I thought I would try The Host which is written by her too. On arrival, my first thought was how thick the book is (am a fairly new reader) but it seemed easy enough to read. The first quarter or so of the book is a little like hard work to get in to, but after that is riveting, I couldn't put it down!! I am not going to reveal the story but will just say that it was fantastic. A film of the book is due out next year and I can't wait to see it. I would definitely recommend it if you love Twilight. Her writing is easy to read and understand and all her books draw you in to the stories, just fantastic.
