The Host
Finally! After starting The Host last Oct 11, I've finished it at last. (Reading it on-off, with Dengue fever, UK Student Visa application and detouring to The Truth About Diamonds to delay me)
It was really hard to get into....it started to become interesting halfway through the book.
And it wasn't like Nick and Norah's that had so much beautiful quotes all throughout to have me giddy page by page.
But after reading it, It still left me *squeeing* and *awwwww-ing*
When I read the synopsis, I thought I'd be drawn in the Wanda/Mel/Jared triangle...
but it came a surprise that I rooted for Wanda/Ian after all.
I just didn't warm up to the Jared character that much and Mel could be quite annoying.
Despite the slow start, it was still a great read...and so much more different from Twilight....less cheesy...or I could say not cheesy at all?
I dunno If there would be a movie or what..but I'll try hard not to cast it on my head...people on LJ already did...Sophia Bush for Wanda and Ian Somerhalder and Drew Fuller for Ian. I dunno, I just would because if they weren't cast then I'd be disappointed. At least when I read Twilight, I already knew Kristen and Rob were casted.
Which reminds me! My Twilight Saga boxset from Amazon still hasn't arrived! I'm waiting for me to get on to the remaining 3 books....
