While not the most original idea in my mind (and God believe me, when I heard Stephenie was putting out this book I was not as excited as I probably should have been), this book put an old idea to a brand new, and very original work.
I've seen body-snatcher aliens in a lot of books (to name two, Animorphs and the Body Snatchers xD), but none of them captured it as nicely as Stephenie Meyer did in The Host.
And the fact that is was from the alien's point of view was definately a plus in her direction. I regret ever thinking this book would be a worn out cliche
*kicks self repeatedly*

Yeah. Vampires have been done before too, but never like Stephanie Meyers does them. She really surprises you with her capabilities.

What I really hate is all these wannabe Meyer's trying to make vampire love stories and ending up with... bad bad cliches. I hope that doesn't happen with the Host too >.> or else that's another good book ruined.
