The Host *****

Now I did not read the book so I didn't know what to expect but, I was suprised to hear a lot of people were not going to see it just because it was written by Stephanie Myers who wrote the twilight saga. I think that is a shame because I really enjoyed it and so did my husband. It was slow paced and there was not a lot of action but the character development was great and the way the story was told with the flash backs and memories was done well so to not be confusing. Also I liked how you could hear Melanie's voice even though she was taken over by Wanda the alien. It made for very entertaining commentary. I do however wonder how the aliens actually took of the first human since they are so delicate. I may have to read the book for that answer but, it didn't hurt the movie with that being unanswered. I was so drawn into the movie that I was getting attached to the characters which inturn added extra drama when it came time for Wanda to leave. I was hoping that they would not keep to her wishes because I wanted her to stay. The ending left it open for a sequel that I am hoping they will make even though it didn't do well in the box office. Maybe next time they should not attach the words author of the twilight saga to the end of Stephanie's name then maybe more people will watch it cause she is a really good writer.
