So who's read The Host? I finished it Sunday night (around 1:30 am) after reading most of the day. I know a lot of you have bought it considering it is #1 on the NY Times list. :) ($14 at Costco) Overall, definitely liked Twilight better, however, I was pretty engrossed in it. Stephanie draws me in and gets me hooked more than most books! It took longer with The Host though. With Twilight, by page 18, (first mention of Edward :) I couldn't put it down. (And I couldn't get through New Moon fast enough - waiting for Edward to come back!!!) With The Host, after I read the first chapter, I was like "What the???" I didn't get it! After the first 60 or 70 pages though, I was pretty engrossed. So, I thought it was very entertaining and a good story. I don't like Sci Fi, but I did like the book. I think she is a very talented writer...
Spoiler Alert
Here is my hang up - Wanda and Jared. Was it just me or did you sort of want them to end up together??? I know, I know, Jared couldn't/shouldn't love Wanda because he loves Mel (and Wanda is in Mel's body!). So, Jared could never really love Wanda that way, but I don't see Wanda loving Ian as strongly as she loved Jared. In this crazy "Love Square" I think everyone ended up with who they "should" be with, so it was this "happy ending", but was it really?
What do you think?
