This was excellent fluff: the paperback, when it comes out, will be the perfect beach book. I like the way Meyer hints at LDS worldview (not doctrine!) in her books and plays with it. (I also like Uncle Jeb, who is clearly your crazy Mormon uncle who likes Bo Gritz and makes obnoxious comments in Sunday School. He even uses the boiling frog story in the book!)

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

So I should have taken this to Mexico, instead of Jennifer Weiner's Certain Girls. Dangit.
ReplyDeleteNot the hardback! I just weighed it to ship this morning and it is 32 oz. Not a beach read in this format!
