Someone said this book is not YA so I was trying to check it to see how it is rated. To me it is Sci Fi and I enjoyed it except I got claustrophobic with too many dark small caves. I was very surprised that it made me cry. Imagine, I cried for a parasite!!!

Now I see this is YA! Things change!

I did not read a kindle but I got a nice hardback for Christmas and I read it. Goodreads always says I read an ebook but I almost never do.

Ah, here we are. The Host hurt me so bad. I am one of the biggest Twilight fans you will ever meet (*sets down my six copies of New Moon*), but I just could not stand The Host. I hated the way it was written and contrary to what some other people have said, it does not feel the same as Twilight at all. I just could not get on board with this one. Sorry Stephenie :(
