The Host: A Novel559 reviews Stephenie Meyer Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Worth Reading but starts slowly + Interesting read...well worth your time See other reviews for a synopsis.

I listened to the Audible version of this. Excellent book to listen to. As a history buff I thought it was really done well and true to history. Yamamoto would have been much more aggresive.
