The Host

Abandoned at 25%.

Very, very slow with characters that I do not care about and the logical explanation as to why everything works out is because “love”. I kept trying to read this book, but ultimately, not for me. I like some of the themes–body acceptance, what it means to be human, love and the ability to push beyond yourself–however, the themes are underdeveloped and are often superficial. I like the aliens and the bodysnatcher storyline, but everything else fell flat for me.
