The Host

Chagrin chagrin chagrin lol. I really liked the concept but there were loopholes here and there. I didn't like the writing style much and some parts were very draggy. It was also choppy for all the wrong reasons.

The only interesting part of this book is the general concept of how the aliens take over earth. But then you get annoying characters and repetitive, boring narrative.
I listened to the audiobook, making it easier to tune out the tedium and poorly written dialogue/narration

ohmygod. This book was honestly such a good read i couldn't put it down; IT HAD ME HOOKED MAN. Giving it 3 stars because wanda's character got lowkey really annoying at times with her hero complex and i absolutely hated how we didn't get to see ian's vulnerability and his past. Maggie and Sharon were useless characters and it really irked me, the seeker was just idk what to say i have no words and the so ‘very emotional' death of wes and walter i believe didn't hurt at all considering we don't really form an emotional attachment to them. I LOVED JEB'S CHARACTER SO MUCH OHMYGODDD, absolutely enjoyed the scenes where he was present, he's got such an intricate personality i'm obsessed. Overall, i enjoyed this and it's definitely going into my ‘cool sci-fi' book list.
