The Host
She's the #1 bestselling author of the Twilight series. Now Stephenie Meyer offers a new twist on the love triangle—one that involves only two bodies—in The Host, a captivating novel of romance and terror.
The war of the worlds has ended, and we lost. The Earth has been overrun by invading alien intelligences who occupy the bodies of the planet’s inhabitants. But Wanderer, the invading “soul” who has been given Melanie Stryder’s body, has discovered that the former tenant of her body refuses to relinquish possession of her mind. Melanie fills Wanderer’s thoughts with visions of the man she loves—Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body’s desires, Wanderer searches for a man she’s never met....

Loved It!
August 13, 2010
I am always looking for a book that is different from all the rest. I found it in The Host! I really loved this book. I had a difficult time putting it down for the night. It has been a long time since I have found a book like that. I found it not only interesting, but captivating as well. I was quickly invested in the main characters and the story line. This is well worth the read if you have an open mind and like strange, yet enlightening stories.

Interesting premise but overly long

I liked how this began with the main character(s) struggle to share a body. However, after a third through, when they reach other survivors, it got preachy and long. A better book would've been the Wanderer's adventures as a Host on the other planets she visted before Earth.

Typical Stephanie Meyer

I breezed through The Host much as I did the Twilight series. Meyer's writing style is juvenile, but entertaining and easy to read. Her characters are usually flat, but you can't help but be curious about them and what they'll do next. Meyer's imagination is incredible, and I'm intrigued with how she comes up with her ideas! And yes, she could leave out all the sap, but then she wouldn't be Stephanie Meyer.

a hidden joy

As with the Twilight series, I didn't think I would like this subject to read about but was amazed at the book. After about 40 pages, I was hooked and hated for the book to end. It's a great read, I loved the book. I hope she works on some new books soon.
