Book Review (or at least part of): The Host by Stephenie Meyer

I recently read the prologue and first and second chapters of The Host by Stephenie Meyer. Or rather, I listened to the prologue and first and second chapters.

I, of course, like many other females my age have read and own all four copies of the Twilight Saga. I loved Twilight and Breaking Dawn. I find that Meyer's writing tends to vary from book to book, because New Moon was the slowest,most boring of all the Twilight books. Eclipse started out slow and boring but eventually picked up the pace and become likeable. So, like most I decided I needed to read The Host.

I got the book or rather the book on CD from the local library. I hadn't listen to a book on tape/CD for an incredibly long time, so I thought this would be something good. Plus, the only reason that I really got it on CD was because I was a lower number on the hold queue.

Anyway, back to the book. I made it through the proloque and first and second chapters. But became very bored quickly and did not want to fall asleep while driving.

I don't know if it was the aliens and trying to keep them all straight or if I didn't get to far in the book. I wanted to know more about the girl on the table, but the book was going so blan that I just couldn't get into. I tried; I mean it became interesting when the Wanderer went into the girl's memories, but I wanted more of that.

In conclusion, you may enjoy the book and you may not, depending on the type of person you are. I may not have enjoyed the book for these reasons two reasons: 1) audiobook and 2) aliens. I wish my best to those of you who decided to read it.
