The Host: A Novel by Stephanie Meyer
Pages: 651
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
My Thoughts
The Host is an incredible read. For some reason, I always like to say where I got it from. My older sister read it after finishing the Twilight Saga and fell in love with it. She kept on telling me to read it, but I never wanted to. Finally, I didn't have a book to read, so I picked this one up. Let me tell you, you will not put it down, I didn't! To be honest, it was a little slow in the beginning, but once it started it was worth it. The love triangle actually it was more of a love square! Talk about confusing, but interesting. Stephanie Meyer did an amazing job articulating (wow big word) the dynamic of all of the four characters. One of the main reasons I love this book is that it tells you what happens, but still leaves a little mystery. Sometimes I like when the author leaves the ending a little bit open-ended so I can let my imagination run wild. I do wish there was a sequel for it. There is a movie. It was absolutely fantastic. Even though not everything was the same, they pretty much got it all in there. Definitely buy this book and rent the movie!
