(I apologize in advancve for my terrible english, I'm a native german speaker but I'm trying to improve my english so please bear with me.) 
 We all know who wrote that book and we all know that's the reason I picked it up in the first place. I have to say that I enjoyed Twilight to a certain extent as I enjoy stupid cartoons or games that are made for pure timewaisting. Trivia, as we like to call it. 
 But as Twilight presented us with mindnumbing and reocurring themes, so did The Host. 
 It is better written than Twilight, but compared to other books, not so much. Stephenie Meyer has this slightly poetic touch in her books but I still feel like she wants to stick to a "youngish" style which makes it a cringeworthy mixup. It's like those really really cliche poems written for your loved ones. 
 I have to admit that some of the ideas in the book caught my attention and seemed incredibly interesting to me. 
 Like the question whether it's right or wrong to possess an entire civilization to make them better or whether it's right to kill one human being if it means that another can be saved. 
 The question how they're going to save Wanda without having to insert her in another innocent human being. 
 Or that one tiny passage about that kid that's actually a normal human kid without a parasite in it but with two possessed parents. I thought that was brilliant and I couldn't wait how Meyer would handle and sort this topic out. I literally waited the entire book for this topic to resolve and to be touched on or at least discussed by some of the characters. 
 I was left disappointed. 
 As to be expected, all these subjects were either left out or solved like magic with plot holes that dind't make sense at all. 
 I am not going to talk about how oppressed and dumb and helpless the women in Meyers books are portrayed, and how every one of them needs a big ass man to save them. That's a topic for itself, but let's just say I found it, yet again, infuriating. 
 Once again Meyer picked up a rather interesting subject and let us down with a mindnumbing love triangle (love square...? I don't know) that only makes sense because all the characters can't sort themselves out. 
 I'll admit that it is slightly better than the Twilight Saga but really there wasn't much to begin with. 
 I'm sorry Mrs Meyer, but this is the last time I'm reading a book of yours.
