A home for their hearts Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I typically prefer to read the book before I watch the movie. Twilight was so poorly written that I had to make myself finish it, and that was after I had watched the movie. I couldn't bring myself to read the rest of the series. I did watch all the movies but I only liked Twilight. I like the previews for The Host, and think it looks like it might be a good movie. Should I even bother with the book?

pink&bluemommy Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The host book is much better than twilight! Haven't seen the host movie yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayseeliz Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The book is great! I haven't seen the movie yet but I plan on catching it on Dvd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The Host is much better than Twilight. It was written for adults and it really shows in the writing style. I thought the movie was very well done and I would recommend reading the book before the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbuchina Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I would definitely read the book before seeing the movie. There are plot points that I feel are needed to understand the story that are not explained well, or not in, the movie. My husband thought the movie was very boring. I enjoyed it, but the book is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratford Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Read the book, I really enjoyed it! (So much so that I'm not certain I will even see the movie....I don't want to ruin the pictures in my head....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I really enjoyed the movie and recommend it to people who liked the book. My 17yo and I thought it was very well done and followed the book quite well (except that the final person didn't match my internal picture at all, but that was just a few minutes right at the end of the movie, so it didn't bother me). I think the poor reviews were due to people expecting Twilight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carriede Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Just read it and loved it! Couldn't put it down. Never read Twilight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A home for their hearts Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ok, you have all convinced me to read the book first. Of course, my library doesn't have it :huh: so I'll have to buy it. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A home for their hearts Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 I was able to find a copy at the library, so I didn't have to buy it. Thank goodness because I am having trouble getting through it. It is not a page turner for me, I have to make myself read it. It just seems to drag on and on and on. I'm on page 206 and I don't know if I'm going to make it to the end. Can't I just watch the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 You should read The Puppet Masters and not waste time or energy on sparkly knockoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
