The Host

The Host

by Stephenie Meyer

10 out of 10

This book was fantstic! Stephenie Meyer took a big step out of her Twilight bubble and did a great job! I enjoyed this book completly through and through. It did take me a while to read. Not only is it a little over 600 pages long, but I have had a busy summer with softball and camp and stuff. Anyways...

In the story, an alien species has taken over the earth. The aliens are a form of parasite that is enjected into human bodies. Afterwards, the aliens would take over all the bodies, living inside them and using them as a host. The main character, Wanderer, is an alien that is living inside the body of human Melanie, who doesn't seem to just disapear like she is supost to. When Wanderer starts to see the things Melanie's past and soon cannot separate Melanie's feelings from her own, Wanderer decides to go on a journy to find one of the last remaining humans that the two of them both love.

This book is a nice mixture of a SciFi and Romance novel. Stephenie Meyer does a good job.
