I loved it.
The sad thing is, I almost put it down fifty pages into it. I was bored and it just wasn't doing anything for me. But I didn't because I freaking love SM as an author and I'm definitely glad I didn't. Seriously. So glad.
Because it rocked. I just loved the whole concept of it and the writing was great. It was all great. After you get 50-100 pages into it.
I loved the characters. Jamie was my favorite. So sweet! Ian too.
Anyone read it? What'd ya think?

*pout* I had to return it today without reading it. But that's because I stupidly checked out a ton of books and The Host happened to be a bestseller and couldn't be renewed... *sigh*

I uh...gave up on it. I got like a hundred sixty pages in, decided that I wasn't enjoying it at all, and gave up. I thought that maybe the writing was improved from the Twilight series, but still not to my taste.
A lot of my friends loved it, though, and in a way, I'm kind of disappointed that I couldn't get into it, but I guess I just have to accept that I'm not a Stephenie Meyer fan and move on. :-)

Yes, you do need to get to it! I too am a fan of The Host. It was a little boring for the first hundred or so pages, but then it picked up after all of the romantic tension kicked in. Haha. Also, I felt rather obligated to slog through the beginning and see how far I could read as I had it signed by Stephenie. How horrible would it be if you had a book signed by a super famous author and then didn't like it? That would be bad. But luckily after I got a little ways in, it got infinitely better and I was addicted. Such a great book. And in my opinion, much better than the Twilight series.

I agree with you, Liv.
Definitely pick it up and read it ASAP, Kristi. It is such an amazing book. It may or may not be better than Twilight but it is absolutely awesome!
