I personally prefer The Host because I love reading it and it is very interesting. I admire Stephenie Meyer because I don't know how she came up with such brilliant stuff. She has an awesome imagination.

Definitely The Host. I fell in love with that book. I love the characters and the whole story about the invasion, the two mind in one body.
I hope she'll write a sequel !

While I enjoyed the Twilight books it was The Host that captivated me. Both sets of novels were easy to enjoy and her writing style was descriptive and fun to follow. However, between the two I would have to agree that The Host was a brilliant novel and I enjoyed every page.
I love the Host it's much better than Twilight, but Twilight are also good books, but the story in Twilight is sometimes a little bit boring and I really love the chatacters in the Host ♥
I personally enjoyed The Host much more than the Twilight Series. I think that the characters have much more depth than the characters in the Twilight series. They are just more relatable as well, which drew me into the series more.
Also this book seemed more thought provoking in terms of themes, as opposed to Twilight. I really think that she was able to break away from the less mature writing style she used in Twilight and was able to write in a more mature manner. I appreciated it a lot. All in all, The Host was better written and over all more enjoyable a read.

I have to say the Host. In that book you have the story of Wanderer, who at first I didn't want to like (from the whole soul-takes-over-earth thing) but I could see her point of view and soon she became a great character. The Host as much more elements in it than Twilight. It also gives you a far better window into Meyer's imagination, in the way Wanda describes the planets and their inhabitants.
Also I think I just prefer books like the Host, with the entire alien-world-take-over, and the two-minds-one-body scenario.....

The Host was a MUCH better concept than Twilight, but the Host was written so poorly that I didn't enjoy it in its entirety. I loved the first part, but then it started to and there was no major conflict aside from Wanda not wanting the Souls to get hurt. I actually prefer Twilight.
The Host by miles, just wish she would finish the trilogy. If she didn’t have an outline for a trilogy why say it?
Definitively The Host was better. The main character has a lot more character and the story is more profound with a stronger theme. The Host was not just romantic, but it touched in other facts of humanity, good and bad. I had a hard time reading the Twilight series, because the main character was always so weak. I enjoy books were the main character is strong and sensitive, and the host portrays that better.
I think the host shows Stephenie Meyer's ability as a writer,it really showed her story telling skills handling two characters in one, but I thought Twilight was a better book, but the host was very good too, I just think it wasn't as relatable as Twilight.
The Host definitely, not a twilight fan. not now, not ever. haha
The Host was Awesome! I haven't read Twilight because i don't think I'll like it!
twilight i couldnt get into the host, never completed totally
ughh so so hard!!! The host wins. Its just such an interesting story. but when i want to feed my heart a little somthing twilight.
I agree with ehat everyone is saying. In my opinion the Host shows what Stephine Meyer is capable of. After reading Twilight five times I went from loving it to hating it because I saw the lack of substance. The Host I can still read and it is not boring.
The Host because it was like a whole new idea, what with all the vampire thing lest and right. So I liked it better :)
I think we can all agree on this one that The Host won by a land slide:) lol
Please... as if Twilight could possibly be better than the awesomeness that is The Host.
The Host is infinitely better. Twilight is all right but it doesn't really compare.
Twilight was better. The host was really good but it started off reaaaaaally slow and you have to wait until you have read more than half the book in order for the book to pick up pace and anything to really start happening.
Twilight is ok, but the host is better. There are already too many vampire books out there anyway. I think that the host is unique. I never would have thought of that idea. Who even knew it would involve a love triangle? The host is really great. I would even read it a second time just because it's so amazing.

I STILL am dying to read it. Maybe this summer, I'll finally get the chance.

I was really into the whole Twilight thing when I was reading the series, and I really enjoyed it and I cried at the end because it was over and all that stuff, but now that I've read so many other books, I have to say that I don't really like the Twilight books. I don't like the main characters, Bella annoys me so much, her whole world revolves around her love interest and she doesn't care about anything else, except for the fact that she wants to be with Edward. She basically dumbed her family, because she wanted to be a vampire and live with her boyfriend forever. That's just stupid. But I loved The Host, I cried so hard and I loved the characters, especially Wanda and Ian. The Host is definitely in my top ten favorite books list. So I think that The Host is better, just because it has to do with other things rather than love, like friendship and selflessness. Wanda and Melanie were so much stronger and better characters than Bella.
I read the first Twilight book, and just didn't like it.... I picked up the Host, and I loved it.
I absolutely hate Twilight. I think Edward is controlling, manipulative, and abusive; I find Bella to be a flat, poorly-written main character. I like Jacob... until he's suddenly in love with a baby?! The series as a whole is just an overplayed, badly written story of a weak girl trying to choose between an abusive man and a man who later becomes a pedophile. The Host, on the other hand, is one of my favorite books, if not my number one. It's a story about freedom, humanity, and spirit. There is no set of good guys and bad guys, and yet the characters and the reader still have to determine right from wrong. What constitutes life and what makes us human are the core of this story; the romance simply adds to this base with the struggles Melanie and Wanda face as two beings in one body.
Personally, I like the Twilight books better because there are more of them. Although I absolutely loved The Host, it's not a book in a series. I know that the titles of the second and third books have already come, but I'm beginning to believe that the books themselves never will. So if I have to choose, I would choose the Twilight books, seeing as there are four of them. However, I LOVED both Twilight and The Host.
Definitely the Host. Would love to read more from her like this.
The Host is so freeaaking amazing! All the powerful relationships in the book are just...wow. Melanie & Jamie, Melanie & Jared, Jeb and Wanda, Wanda & Jamie, everything that had to do with Walter. Ugh I love that book.
Twilight is better in my opinion. I couldn't get into the host at all
I must say that Stephenie Meyer's books are all fantastic but my all time favourite has to be the Host: that was just an epic read
I think the Host is geared more toward the adult reader - highly recommend it.
I loved the Host and didn't feel like the main character was so naive and dumb as Bella was. However, the movie absolutely sucked imo.

i think both are equally the best i still have to read the second book of the host yet
I absolutely loved this book.... until about halfway in when it changed from a really good sci-fi into a bad high school bf/gf drama. I never finished it. The movie is worse. I never finished that, either.
The Host definitely! It has a completely different plot and message, I just wish the movie was as closely tied to the book in terms of detail as the Twilight movies, and that it was just as popular, I do think that the movie tried too much to be its own thing and took so much of the book away and in turn resulted in this not being as known as it should have.
I really hate Twillight movies but thought i would give the books a chance. But I hated the books as much as the movie. So childish
The Host I loved :)

I think The Host because it's such a unique plot and it also shows her writing skills more than Twilight.

I definitely would say The Host. I liked it waaay better than her Twilight series.
I really don't like the twilight series at all (like I used to as I was 12) but now I can't stand it in any way. However, the host is so different than twilight in my opinion I can hardly believe it is the same author and I really fell in love with the book and read it multiple times. I just love the storyline and the characters. I almost would say it is one of my favourite books
