I promise you will love it! ;))

[Lindsey]

Is it too late to join?

[Rachael]

No please do, everyone is welcome! I will be reading it for the first time

[Marta]

i just finished chapter three and i'm really liking it, super glad that i never got around to watch the movie

[Rachael]

I'm running late like always but I will start this ASAP

[Rachael]

Through 5 chapters and finding this really interesting so far!!

[Rachael]

21% - I'm still enjoying this but it seems very long!

[Lindsey]

I'm finished! loved it!

[Rachael]

I'm at 82%.. I'm not finding much to discuss but I enjoy the characters and the development of the story

[Rachael]

97% (view spoiler)[ Ah! I'm so glad she has some of her memories still (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

All done! I found this book pretty good though it was very long.. Again, the character development was phenomenal. (view spoiler)[ The themes and world building were great, very detailed. This story line had the possibility of being very confusing but the author is really good at what she does.. The length of the book was necessary. (hide spoiler)]

[Lindsey]

[ NO SPOILERS] I kind of wish since it was called "The Host" that they would talk about Jared and Melanie's relationship after the...towards the end.

[Lindsey]

I'm not sure if I did the NO SPOILERS thing right..if it refers to my review then, I don't remember if I have SPOILERS...

[Rachael]

Yah I know what you mean.. The ending felt kind of rushed

[Beatrice]

I started a day earlier. :)

[Beatrice]

Prologue - Chapter 5
- (view spoiler)[This book has so much potential than Twilight. I'm loving the details though it was a slow beginning. Wanderer is a thoughtful soul and being in Melanie's body -- with her presence. They might be opposites but I'm sure they'll get along (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 6 - 9
- (view spoiler)[The Seeker is a nosy bitch. I'm glad Wanderer and Melanie agreed on something. Plus, JARED HOWE IS HAWT. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 10 - 17
(view spoiler)[Glad that Melanie and Wanderer are getting along. I'm so annoyed with The Seeker for being nosy. Also, Kyle is an asshole who needs to be punched in the face. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 18- - 26
(view spoiler)[Awkward moments between these humans and Wanda. I'm glad Jeb is trying to make her comfortable and let others get used to her being around. Also, engaging in daily chores loosens up Wanda.

I'm happy with the direction of the story. :) (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 27 - 31

(view spoiler)[It keeps getting better and better. Kinda slow but good. :) Jared needs to REALLY loosen up. Damn him (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 32 - Epilogue (view spoiler)[ Holy crap. It's amazing! His book has so much potential and it's better than Twilight Saga. Love the story and concept. It has depth and omg so beautiful (hide spoiler)]

[Nivedita]

Ch2(view spoiler)[I am really confused right now with all the Healer Seeker stuff.I am also getting the Giver vibes (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

I'm starting today! I have the audiobook so it'll take me a little while to get through

[Nivedita]

Ok ..cool:)

[Tavia]

I'll be starting later today

[Haley]

ch 4 (view spoiler)[ wow how odd, I'm a tad confused in the seekers and healers. I think I have a general understanding, but not fully. The body she's inside still has a soul inside. They are seeking for any humans still alive. (hide spoiler)]

[Nivedita]

Haley wrote: "ch 4 [spoilers removed]"

Me too..Its really confusing

[Nivedita]

Ch5(view spoiler)[Well the book is really creepy.But I really find Melanie's memories interesting but Jared he just met her and he is kissing!!That guy is nuts (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

I'm actually about to start now. Finally finished the boon I was reading at the time.

[Tavia]

Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ The way she and Jamie met was a little absurd. Seemed a bit too love at first sight ish. I think I get the whole premise. These chapters are really short which I think is good, it could help the book go by faster since this is a large book. (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Ch 10 (view spoiler)[ I love how it goes back and forth with the memories and I'm happy that she decided not to go to the seeker. I love how the writing is set up and it makes it a fast paced book. The entire society of the souls makes it interesting. There's no strangers and you don't even need to pay with money. Jared is 26!! That's crazy and Melanie is only 17, but I guess when it's the end of the world these things don't matter. (hide spoiler)]

[Nivedita]

Ch 14(view spoiler)[well...a lot happened and Jared is back again?Ohh I hate him he hit her!!Maybe he is really depressed with her being an alien ..I am starting to like the relationship of Wanderer and Melanie<3 (hide spoiler)]

[Nivedita]

Ch 19(view spoiler)[The plot is too slow and I am getting really annoyed.Jeb is such a sweetheart and even Ian.But I still hate Jared.. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 5:(view spoiler)[So she's sticking with the body then. And the Insta love was not a good sign for me. I'm not one fore insta love but we shall see (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[ So the whole thing about different planets is a bit confusing. So do they just infiltrate all of the planets and take on the people? (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ A world where you don't have to pay money? Please count me in! I really like how the text changes so that we know what's a memory or when Melanie is talking. I'm confused as to how when the wanderer is thinking things In her head Melanie can't always hear it. (hide spoiler)]

[Nivedita]

Chapter 25(view spoiler)[I loved the last few chapters.It was really fascinating to know more about the different planets and its species..:)I am also having second thoughts about Jeb's friendliness (hide spoiler)]

[Nivedita]

Chapter 28(view spoiler)[I am really loving Jamie's and Wanda''s relationship. Ohh jared..he is practically ruining everything.That was really bad of Melanie (hide spoiler)]

[Nivedita]

Chapter 30(view spoiler)[I am finally starting to like this book. Atleast she got a really nice family.Cant wait what Walter has to say to Wanda (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[ I like how now they're actually saying "We" instead of "Melanie" or "Wanderer" (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Nivedita wrote: "Chapter 28[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I love the relationship that Jared had with Melanie, but it's just so odd with Wanda now inside her body. I saw someone trying to come after her to get her, but I didn't expect it to be so brutal. Wanda still covered for his though and I enjoy Ian!! Ian is so protective over Wanda and the "secret" of Melanie still inside isn't much of a secret anymore. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[ Jared's still caring for her. I hope they find out that Melanie is still there and that they maybe can trust her (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

finished (view spoiler)[ I loved this book! I wish I didn't watch the movie before reading the book because I feel I would of liked the book even more. Wanda ended up giving up her body to let Melanie have her body back and then gets brought back into the world in a younger body! I loved the ending and I can't wait for the next book because I feel it'll be more of a revolution of what is to come. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"
I really love Ian too.He is so protective

[Tavia]

I'm gonna have to take a break from this book for about bit. I'm not really enjoying it at the moment.

[Nivedita]

Chapter 33(view spoiler)[That was the action I was waiting for:))I knew Wanda would save Kyle (hide spoiler)]
