I do not like any of her other books, but I have been hearing about how Stephanie Meyer's The Host is much different from the mediocre Twilight Saga, so I decided to see for myself and read it. Anyway, I'm nearly done with it and am reading page 530-something when I noticed a reference to pit bulls. It was in an analogy.. The narrator was explaining how this other character's name was inappropriate for her personality, and was followed by the remark "like naming a pit bull Fluffy". It's really nothing to post a new thread about I guess.. Just annoyed me to see the stereotype perpetuated some more, especially through a book/author with a large fanbase.
