The Host, Stephenie Meyer



Just spent the last 6 - 7 hours reading this.

Better than expected and quite a page-turner. Totally fulfills the requirement of being a riveting, plot-heavy and un-burdensome read.

Meyer has quite a penchant for self-sacrificing female protagonists. I'm not sure what that says about her but it makes it really annoying to read sometimes - you either roll your eyes or want to slap the girl. But at least this Wanda character is not half as irritating as Bella.

Which brings me to the discovery that the Twilight Trilogy has become the Twilight Saga with a fourth book, Breaking Dawn, coming up in August that's supposed to be the final.

Let's just hope that once Bella becomes a vampire, she would be less of a self-righteous, thoughtlessly self-sacrificing twerp.
