Just read The Host

So I just finished reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I hadn't planned on mentioning it here, but it turned out to be post-apocalyptic in the sense that it takes place years after a planet-wide invasion where all but a handful of the population have been turned into mindless "hosts" for centipede-like aliens.

I was a big fan of Ms Meyer's previous books, the Twilight Saga, so I was really looking forward to reading this one. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anywhere near up to the Twilight standard. I'd recommend it, but only if, like me, you don't go into it expecting a hard sci-fi alien invasion story. It really is much more of a relationship book, rather than an action one.

Good, but not great, would sum it up, I guess.

Doomorama.com is a place for me to keep track of the books I've read, and would like to read, in my favorite genre, Post-Apocalyptic Fiction.

If you've stumbled in, and are a fan of stories about The End of the World As We Know It, feel free to leave a comment or drop me an email at Doomorama @ Doomorama.com.

I'd especially like suggestions of Post-Apocalyptic books of any kind that I don't yet have listed here.

Thanks
