No real point in going into depth over this one. The motivations are stupid, the characters stagnant (with one blazing exception - more on that in a minute.) Bella-as-everygirl-1st-person-narrator worked in the first book, when it was all about discovery. Now that the jig is up, though, she comes across as boring, petulant and self-obsessed, and only slightly outdistanced in those stakes by the hallowed Edward. The reason I gave it as high a rating as I did is a.) it's still compulsive reading, even if it is literary junk-food and b.) Jacob Black.
Ah, Jacob Black. A very wise (and well-known) author once told me that if a minor character starts speaking to you, you should do a U-turn and go with it. I wish Meyer had done that here. ... Read More:

The only redeeming feature of this book - which could have lost 200 pages of repetitive whining to no detriment, if not improvement - is the fact that Bella finally decides that she loves Jacob. Even if there is a qualifying 'too' in the mix. I'm dubiously giving #4 a bash, since in a fit of enthusiasm after 'Twilight' I bought them all, but I just don't think Meyer has the authorial skills to convince me that an animated marble statue is really worth all of this angst.
Honestly: am I the only one out there who finds Edward completely tedious? Not to mention self-obsessed, controlling and condescending.
This book makes a mockery of the whole Twilight series. The first book in the series was brilliant, the second okay, the third better than okay, but this is plain rubbish. The diologue is rubbish, the story is boring and dull and what I hate most *Warning spoiler* is how the character of Jacob imprints on Bella's daughter. It makes his love for Bella a waste of time and this was part of the reason the Twilight saga was so good. The story would have gone a bit better if he had imprinted on someone like Leah. I also found Bella annoying in this book, and sometimes found myself wanting to tell her to shut up.
Overall, a horrible read and I was so happy when I finished it. If you have only read the first three books, leave it at that as if you read ... Read More:

The book THE HOST is a lot like Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT saga in the fact that the whole point of the story is that love is the most important thing. What's different though is (obviously) the storyline. Yes, that is right - this story has nothing to do with vampires; instead, aliens have taken over our planet.
The time is somewhere in the future and our world is not as we know it. Instead of mass murders making headline news, there are articles on the best type of flowers to plant. The most disturbing article is that the bridge near Maple Avenue is due for a repainting. The world is full of peace and love. No one argues, no one fights, and there is not even a hint of violence in this bizarre world.
