The Host

I bought Stephenie Meyer's new book "The Host" on Friday and somehow managed to keep from reading it until Saturday night. I started at 8pm and read straight through until 5am. I slept for 5 hours, went to church, and then headed straight back to my book from 3 until 7 that night. Yeesh! But I finished it!! I can't say for sure if it's better than the "Twilight" series or not because I had a similar reaction with all three of those books as well, but I can definitely recommend it! It's clean, suspenseful, and complex--three of my favorite things. It's also romantic, comedic, and thought-provoking. It's not terribly intellectually stimulating, but it is entertaining. (those two things are nearly impossible to find in a single book anyways) So, as is probably obvious, I am dying to talk about it with someone and not have to worry about spoiling it! Everyone go out and read it and let me know what you think!
