Even better than Twilight. Great take on what could happen and interesting perspective. Invasion of the body snatchers. ( )

The Host is up there with the Twilight Saga as strangest romances. This time the love is for an alien that has taken over another girl's brain. It is still intriguing, but doesn' read as well as the Twilight Saga. I wonder how the movie will translate.

I loved the Twlight books, and the Host did not let me down. The story of the love between Mel and Jared which becomes love shared with a parasitic alien named Wanderer (Wanda) is awesome.

Wanderer has just been implanted into her human host, Melanie, but Melanie's spirit just won't go away. Eventually Wanderer gives into Melanie's great love for fellow rebel Jared and together they find their way to the rebel hideout where the last remaining pure humans fight to survive against the gentle, unusual "Souls" who have taken over the planet.

The action is gentle, it really reminds me of Twilight, and the story moves at a nice pace. You get to know the characters well through the author's thorough descriptions and come to love them. There could be a sequel, the ending certainly left that option open.

A recommended read for ages 15 and up. ( )

So at first it was a little slow and the two characters, Melanie and Jared, were falling into the Edward and Bella romance cycle, but...things definitely picked up and it became a very interesting and well written science fiction tale about another species (souls) using humans as hosts. I look forward to future sequels of this story because there are a lot of directions these characters can take.

Great book. It's as closely tied to Breaking Dawn as Stephen King's Desperation was to The Regulators, though. She wrote them at about the same time, and was obviously working out a theme there. Attraction to someone not your spouse, maybe? But this book is like Stranger in a Strange Land spliced with Anne Rice - not that there are monsters, more for the emotional elements in Rice's work - Claudia, the Taltos. On the other hand, just because you can see literary influences doesn't mean Meyer is a copycat. I think that after five books she's finally hit her stride. Twilight, while a page-turner, seemed derivative, or at least that it took the cheap route to immediate gratification. This does not. It's thought-provoking and interesting, while still as compulsively readable as the vampire books. I think this book finally sets Stephenie Meyer up as a writer that will stick around. ( )

The Host (novel)

Bokbeskrivning

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0316068047, Hardcover)

Amazon Best of the Month, May 2008: Stephenie Meyer, creator of the phenomenal teen-vamp Twilight series, takes paranormal romance into alien territory in her first adult novel. Those wary of sci-fi or teen angst will be pleasantly surprised by this mature and imaginative thriller, propelled by equal parts action and emotion. A species of altruistic parasites has peacefully assumed control of the minds and bodies of most humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender her mind to the alien soul called Wanderer. Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets off into the desert to find him. Likely the first love triangle involving just two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing. Readers intrigued by this familiar-yet-alien world will gleefully note that the story's end leaves the door open for a sequel--or another series. --Mari Malcolm
