    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Kept me going for 4 mornings...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It gets into your head....

    Well I tell you something I only like seeing one 5.30 in the day but just recently I have been seeing both, as I get a very early train to get to University on a daily basis, and trust me staying awake that early knowing you then have to do a full day at university - well it is harder than it looks... So it takes something that will keep my attention to keep me awake enough to get through the hundred minute journey every morning - which in itself is a little bit of a mission considering I bore easily when I'm tired. So my first option was my MP3 player, but then that wasn't enough to keep me ... more

    5 Stars Playing the host to an unwanted guest. 19/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic storyline, delving into an unknown world.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The first few chapters are a little hard going.

    After reading and re-reading the series of vampire books by Stephenie Meyer, I was on the hopeful side when seeing the advert inside the front cover of one of afore mentioned books for her newest book. After going away for the weekend with my husband and having the option or should I say privilege of wandering round shops without the kids, I ended up in the extortionately priced Waterstones….having the time to browse! My husband remembered me mentioning this book and promptly purchased it for, ahhh ain’t he a love! The book I will now review is - “The host by Stephenie Meyer” After reading the ... more

    5 Stars Stephanie Meyer has done it again! 05/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Never wanted to put it down

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes quite comfusing

    Its not often that an author can create a master piece and make another work of art with just the same amount of flair as the first time. But the host is perfect proof that it can be done. Famous for the twilight saga, Stephanie Meyer took a break from her vampire love story and went in a different direction with an alien invasion. Not my everyday book but it was certainly a memorable one. It begins with a confusing introduction to the main character wanderer. An alien soul that has been inserted into its host. With the whole earth being invaded by these creatures, wanderer is one of millions ... more

    5 Stars The Host- a very different story from the Queen of Vampire novel 09/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very thought provoking, good read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages NA

    For fans of the Twilight series of Stephanie Meyer, please be warned that this is a completely different kind of story. Catered for the adult market, it is a sci-fi written in a very different style to the other books of Stephanie but it’s still very much amazing. It accounts a world which has been invaded by an alien race, the souls. They take over the minds of the humans while leaving their bodies intact and retaining their memories. The story is about a particular soul, Wanderer/Wanda. Being the strongest soul, she’s been given the strong body of Melanie, one of remaining human rebels, who ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages enthralling, different to many other books

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a little slow to grip your attention

    This is a completley different style of story to stephanie meyers previous books. This follows the story of a rebellion against the aliens who are taking over the earth under the premise they can make is better than we are currently doing with it. When one of the rebels melanie a strong willed and spunky girl is caught and has one of the "aliens" known as wanderer implanted into her body both face a set of challenges they never expected to experiance. Wanderer has visited many planets her species have invaded and taken over never finding one she wished to settle down on, but earth is different ... more
