The Host

Well I started this book on my flight out to NY and just finished it a few days ago! It's a bugger on length! I had mixed feelings when I finished.... There were definitely parts where I couldn't put it down and I was really into the story, but my overall feeling when I was done was that I had just wasted too many hours of my life. But since I had no job, and a lot of spare time, it wasn't such a big deal. I've also read her Twilight series and will probably read the next installment coming out in two days just for kicks. No I didn't pre-order and I didn't reread the other three just to prepare. I'm sorry to say I'm not a die-hard Stephenie Meyer fanatic like many of my in-laws and well, most of America. She's a good writer, just too wordy. What I mean by that is that I think she could have condensed this book into four hundred pages and accomplished the same story. Same with the Twilight series. Just my opinion! I know it won't be a popular one. So who's read it and what did you think??Also, any recommendations for another book to read? :)
