I never read The Host. I had a lot of trouble dealing with her writing style with Twilight...loved the story, hated the way she presented it. I just didn't think I wanted to try to get into another book of hers.
Does she still have the "Bella saw Edward. Bella is happy. Forks is rainy. Bella is sad." style of writing in The Host? If not, I'd probably be willing to give it a try.
