Bug's Host review :)

Well, since I created this blog AND picked out the book I figured I might as well post my little review on The Host. After attempting to read Stephanie Meyer's other books in the Twilight series and failing miserably I was apprehensive to try out this new novel. I had heard it was not TOO full of the mushy stuff and had the twist of aliens and a somewhat apocalyptic overshadowing it had me interested. I was pleasantly surprised! Honestly, I am amazed at how little action this book actually has in it but how it grips your attention and I was a little obsessed with finishing it JUST to find out what happens to the characters you have all grown to love. I think what causes people to enjoy this book so much is the amazing character development that Stephanie has the uncanny talent to create. You really want to know what is going to happen to all of them.

The Host...comments by Mommy Barbara

The Host was a fantastic novel!! Thank you Jill for choosing it for our first book to read!!

After figuring out that it had nothing to do Mormon culture or church history, I thought, OK Barbara, I'll read it for the sake of the girls book club.....so I read the reviews....A science fiction/romance book about aleins that overrun the Earth and invade human bodies and erase personalities....then I thought, Oh Crap!!! What have I got myself into?!? But I kept the faith.....and started the book....and goodness was I ever Wrong!! The Host, kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and sometimes way into the night and then all the next day....call it a compulsive disorder....but, I couldn't put it down!! I grew to love each character of the book....even Kyle....and especially loved the twist at the end!! I would recommend the book to anyone!!

I love you all and can't wait until we choose the next book!!!

Ok....our first post and our first book

We will be reading The Host by BYU grad and Utahn Stephanie Meyer. I hope everyone enjoys it and have fun reading!!!
