The Host - Should I finish it?

[HappilyEvrAfter]

I started the audio version of The Host during a recent road trip and have been plodding along with it while exercising, but it's getting kind of "blah" now.

I have the actual book on hold at the library...think I'm next, actually. I'm undecided about whether to pick it up or let it go to the next in line...

I just started chapter 33.

Will you help me decide?
A) Finish cause there's something good coming OR
B) Drop it cause there's nothing new/fresh happing past this point.

TIA for your votes...

I think it started kind of slow, but I really enjoyed the book. I thought it was better writing than the Twilight books.

What's happening where you are?

Kyle just tried to kill Wanda in the bathing pools and Ian (I think) walks in. They're (Ian and Wanda) are talking about why she won't tell him what's just happened.

I agree with Sarah W. I actually put it down a few times, but went back to it. It is better written than the Twilight series. Is it one of my favorite books, no, but I thought the premise was interesting. Kind of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but with a twist.

I finished it, and thought it was okay overall.
It does get more intense towards the end, so I guess I vote for "finish reading". I do remember that it took me a while to get to the end, so I understand where you are coming from.

I'd finish it. It wasn't the kind of book I'd normally ever pick up, but I ended up enjoying it. I have a really hard time getting into a lot of books when I listen to them instead of read them. I probably would have been bored out of my mind trying to listen to it as an audio book, but I was glad I stuck with it and actually read the whole thing.

Oooookkkkaay!!

I'm gonna finish it, but I think I'll wait for the hardback version from the library and see if it's because of the audio.

Thanks!

I think The Host was WAY better than Twilight (however, I'm so not a twilight fan). I actually really enjoyed The Host. But, I like those types of weird sci-fi, alien books.

I did think the plot was fairly similar to Body Snatchers, just with a different twist.
