Extraordinary!

When I began reading "The Host" I was very surprised to realize that this book was not anything like Stephenie Meyers: Twilight Series. I did love her other series but I do think that "The Host" is more unique and exciting. So if you were not disappointed by Stephie Meyer's other work then you will definetly be happy with this novel.

"The Host" takes place in the near future where creatures called 'souls' come to earth and take over human bodies, using them as 'hosts'. 'Souls' have traveled to dozens of other planets and can live as long as they want if they do not choose to stay in the same body for too long of a time.

The Wanderer is one of these souls who is quite popular in her civilization for being in over seven different planets with at least seven different hosts.

Melanie is Wanderer's host but she is different than any other host that Wanderer has had. Melanie can communicate, fill Wanderer's mind with dreams and occasionally take over the body for short periods of time.

With this unique occurance the two of them end up going on a journey to find Melanie's younger brother and lover. This starts the trail of finding and getting past those who cannot understand and realizing who really is the monster.

I highly recommend "The Host" and hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

Even better than the Twilight Saga

I couldn't stop reading the Twilight Saga--read all 4 books in less than 3 weeks. I must say that The Host is better than the entire story arc of the Twilight Saga. I am looking forward to the sequels. I read on Stephenie's website that she already had 2 sequals in mind for The Host. Sadly, I will have to WAIT till she writes them!

The author of the Twilight series of # 1 bestsellers delivers her brilliant first novel for adults: a gripping story of love and betrayal in a future with the fate of humanity at stake.

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.

Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves-Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.

Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.
