I know that my blog is supposed to be about Twilight, but I really admire Stephanie Meyer and love her writing style. When I purchased The Host, I was totally not interested in the story- Body snatching aliens-please. It was a stretch for me to read about vampires so aliens were really out there for me. I really loved this book and in a way I think that Stephenie was able to more accurately express the emotions than she did in the Twilight books. When Melanie sees her brother for the first time, I bawled my eyes out, but when Edward left Bella I didn't cry. The Host shows a maturity that Twilight did not.
I was excited to read this post on her website:
Hey guys, great news! The Host is on its way to the big screen:
I'm so excited to be working with Nick Wechsler, and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz to bring The Host to a visual format. They've all been a dream to work with, so lovely and collaborative, and I feel like we're in a really good place to make a great movie together. And then to have Andrew Niccol writing and directing? Truly awesome. If you've never seen Gattaca, go watch it now. One of my favorite movies of all time. It's such a great example of character driven science fiction, which is ideal for The Host, no? I'm having an absolute blast imagining different dream casts, which I would post if people didn't take my silly blogs so seriously these days. I'm looking forward to seeing the cast lists you come up with in the fansite forums, and if any of them match mine.
So, very exciting. Yay Host!

So here is my challenge to you all, read the book if you have not already and help me come up with a fantasy cast list!
And I don't want any suggestions of Megan Fox for any character! She makes me gag!!
