my friend read it, and loved it. she said it's hard to get into at first, but once you get into it, it's hard to put down.

I started reading it (didn't get it finished before I had to give it back) and I agree it's a bit hard to get into. One thing is though you don't wanna stop reading because you really don't know what's going on till you read more and more. Very interesting and very different from Twilight. I can't wait to finish it!

Default just finished it!

I just finished reading The Host and I have to say that it is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is a bit hard to get into at first as most sifi books are but once I did I get into it, I just couldn’t put it down. I give it five stars!
