Recenzii
"Meyer
has,
like
one
of
her
vampires,
turned
into
something
rare
and
more
than
merely
human:
a
literary
phenomenon....The
way
she
manages
the
reader's
curiosity,
maintaining
tension
and
controlling
the
flow
of
information,
is
simply
virtuosic....People
do
not
want
to
just
read
Meyer's
books;
they
want
to
climb
inside
them
and
live
there."—Lev
Grossman,Time
"An epic story of love, family, and loyalty. . . .The HostisThe X-FilesmeetsDays of Our Lives."—Carol Memmott,USA Today
"Meyer is more interested in relationships than in flashy genre conventions. . . . Her affirmative life lesson is disarming."—Jeff Giles,Entertainment Weekly
"The Hostlives up to the hype, blending science fiction and romance in a way that has never worked so well."—Jane Jorgenson,Library Journal
"Stephenie Meyer is an amazing phenomenon--out of the brightness of her mind and spirit comes the illuminated darkness of her stories. For no matter how much pain her characters suffer, Meyer infuses the tales with light and hope."—Orson Scott Card
"A fantastic, inventive, thoughtful, and powerful novel.The Hostshould come with a warning label: it will grab you and keep you reading well into the wee hours of night, and keep you thinking, deeply, hauntingly, well after the final word. Stephenie Meyer captures characters and handles story line like a master--a hybrid combination of Stephen King and Isaac Asimov."
—Ridley Pearson
"A brilliant and fascinating premise.... Its mix of adventure and new love on a new Earth is just right to get lost in this summer."—Sherri Hallgren,Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
