As for the audiobook being boring, it may have just been the person reading it. "The Host" is anything BUT boring!lisa-mariehttp://blog.lisa-marie.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367057002391131704.post-50030248986801781742008-09-05T11:54:33.785-04:002008-09-05T11:54:33.785-04:00Love your blog, love Stephenie Meyer :)I'm a Y...Love your blog, love Stephenie Meyer :)<br><br>I'm a YA writer & librarian, so I can't resist...<br><br>Though the content (no graphic sex or language -- though there is PLENTY of that in most YA) and the writing style are the same, <i>The Host</i> is considered an adult novel because the main character is an adult. The only teen character (her brother), is seen as being young/immature/whatever. So even though a lot of teens enjoy <i>The Host</i>, it's the adult protagonist and her view of her teenage brother that makes the book adult.<br><br>I hope that makes sense! And thanks for all of those great Olympics pictures!
