Saw the movie The Host today… Not as good as the book, but I could see how it would be difficult to make into a film. I enjoyed it, but wouldn’t recommend it for those who haven’t read the book! It would seem silly and cheesy.

And just for fun…
I am going to see The Host today and hope it’s as least half as good as the book!
Worst Book Turned Movie… The book was awesome and the movie ruined it!
