The Host Question

Do you think it's "unfair" for "the Host" that "Twilight" has more fans,is more known and more succesful?

Personally i like them both but it's so disappointing that "The Host" has only 4,000 fans and Twilight has 140,000. I am not saying that Twilight doesn't deserve to have so many fans (as i said i am a Twihard). For me "Twilight" is as great as The Host (i know not everyone here agree)...
I have heard many Twihards (and not only) saying that The Host is a better book, but then why isn't so known ?

I don't think it's unfair, but

- Twilight is a completed series. That's 4 books vs 1 book

- The Host there's no official word on whether it will be continued as a series.

- Twilight movies (minus 1) are already completed vs TH movie hasn't even finished casting.

- Meyer seems a bit...disconnected(?) with her audience, she was more close to her fans when writing Twilight. I understand it's impossible nowadays when the fanbase is so huge though.

- The Host movie took a loong, looong time in pre production, so maybe now that it's actually happening people who were interested will be interested again also new readers will join the fandom

*is already hiding* Yes, it's unfair, because Twilight is overrated (A) But that's just my opinion, no offence to the fans. Personally, I think The Host is a much better story, but that's an other discussion.

I think that The Host is less known than Twilight, because it's written during the Twilight-hype. People payed more attention to all those books, than to other work of the writer.

But what's fair? A lot good books, movies, TV series etc. don't get the recognition they deserve. It's just because people are focusing on other, sometimes less good work.

I think it's because there isn't a movie yet. When the movie is released, I'm sure there will be more fans. Some people don't want to read the books and when they watch the movies, they become fans. I believe that's what happened with Twilight.

I read Twilight first liked it too but I really feel that the Host is far ahead as a story is concerned.
The Host deserves as much popularity as Twilight if not more.
I hope a good movie can draw more fans as well as sequels.
