Of The Host, and Twilight

[bluebear_74]

I finished The Host last night. I really liked it, I thought that the plot was better thought out than Twilight and less predictable (I find myself always guessing what's going to happen in the Twilight series). I'm not sure if her writing has improved, it's very similar to how Twilight is narrated, and the narrator is a hell of a lot less annoying than Bella. The only complaint that I had was that the character aren't described very well, I had trouble picturing them in my head, basically all your given is hair, skin and eye colour (and not even that for some characters). I often pass and not paid much attention to these when their first (and often the only time) their mentioned not knowing that character was going to play a pivotal part. If she can go on about how beautiful Edward is in the Twilight series, why can't she describe the characters better in the Host?
