The Host

Stephenie Meyer

"Hello there, Wanderer! Won't you take a seat and make yourself

at home?"

I hesitated on the threshold of the Comforter's office, one foot in

and one foot out.

She smiled, just a tiny movement at the corners of her mouth. It

was much easier to read facial expressions now; the little muscle

twitches and shifts had become familiar through months of exposure.

I could see that the Comforter found my reluctance a bit amusing. At

the same time, I could see her frustration that I was still uneasy

coming to her.

With a quiet sigh of resignation, I walked into the small brightly

colored room and took my usual seat - the puffy red one, the one

farthest from where she sat.

Her lips pursed.

To avoid her gaze, I stared through the open windows at the

clouds scuttling past the sun. The faint tang of ocean brine blew softly

through the room.

To me Stephenie Meyer is a wonderful author, her books bring out

myths and things that no has dreamed of before. Her books are something

new and exciting there different.

I would say that the her books have been favorites of mine forever, and

always will be. I will recommend this book to teenagers and adults, mainly

because her ideas are ideas mainly for mature teenagers and adults.
