Search - The Host

I do not like anything to do with sci fi but I love this book. The first part starts out like a science fiction book but once you get through the first few chapters it gets back into the reading that Stephenie is so popular for. She is an amazing writer and no matter what the subject is you can put yourself in her stories. A great read

I really thought I was not going to like this book. Not a big Science-Fiction reader. It took me a bit to get into the groove but then... you guessed it I could not put it down. Stephenine Meyers has a way of writing that really makes you think outside the box. She has a way of writing what we would really think -to a tee. I really liked this book so much that I have read it many times over.. each time getting better!

I had a horrible time getting into this book... After the third time of trying to read it, I gave up. I don't give up on books easily, either.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who gets annoyed by plots that we've seen elsewhere. The whole "Stargate/Animorphs/Invasion of the Body Snatchers" thing where parasitic aliens are taking over human hosts has been done so many times that it's just totally disappointing when an author tries to do it again without creating a better story. This book was slow and even though supposedly for adults, feels very juvenile with characters that are more related to by teens. I tried skimming through to decide if it was worth reading, but just encountered more corny dialogue and overly-dramatic crap that totally turned me off... the book and the author.

I was not at all impressed by the Twilight series, so it had taken me awhile to get to this book on my shelf (was silly enough to waste money on it before reading the other series). Now I know why this book wasn't calling to me. It just wasn't worth my money.
