Gonna get it?

Despite its genre, The Host is a very human story. There aren’t any gadgets, ray guns, time warps, black holes, spaceships or any of the other sci-fi standards. It all takes place on the planet earth in the present day and is, at its core, a love story.

Gonna get it?

Anyone definetely going to read it?

I am because I'm really curious if SM will write different for adults, and also it gives me something good to read during the wait for BD.

Definitely am! I am a sucker for love stories and like you, this one will keep me preoccupied while waiting for the release of BD.

Besides, 2 people, one body, in love with the same man?

This is going to be interesting.

Yes! I'll definatly be getting it! (Along with anything else SM wants to bring out over time.) I think it'll be very interesting. And a love story? We all like those! :)

I'll read it just because it's a SM novel. But I'm skeptical because I'm not a sci-fi fan so we'll see how it goes. I haven't even read the first chapter she has posted on her website yet.

I haven't been able to make myself read the first chapter she has on her site either, but I probably will read it, I'll probably like it too, haha.

I read it, and it was really hard to get into because I didn't know what was going on. I think I'm going to just wait for the book isntead of trying again.

Well, it's supposed to be the sci-fi novel for people who don't like sci-fi. :)

I definitely want to read it. I should preorder it.

I read the clipits on SM's site, and a lot of it was very interesting (I thought everything but the dream sequence, it really threw me off, specifically because the POV it was written in) But it was fantastic, despite that. I just hope it's a little more clear cut when it gets to novel.

I really don't mind sci-fi. Besides, isn't vampires and werewolves very fictitious. Hmm... Maybe I just don't understand genres all that well. Anyway, I don't mind host aliens and all that jazz. I watch too much sci-fi. XD

i'm curious about it too. i read the first chapter and it was a little confusing and THRILLING because you find that it was all a dream(you'd understand if you've read it). omg, it's another "i wanna be with you but i can't" themes. eeek! it gets me excited, but not as excited as for BD.

I'm going to get it because I am curious and because SM wrote it. :) I like sci-fi.
