Book review - The Host

Dear book lovers,

Stephenie Meyer is best know for the wonderful "Twilight Saga" which i love, and read time and time again. However Stephenie also has another book to her name, "The Host " is a sci if fiction story of our world being taken over by another race who take over a humans body.

The Blurb reads:

Melaine Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been 

invaded by a species that takes 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. 

This novel features what maybe the first love triangle which involves only two bodies, with you falling for the characters too!! Such a beautiful story that will have you hocked to how these three characters can cope together, but how they deal with the situation of the changing world around them. Each character adds another level to the story, with some against the human race, others willing to work together and some ready to fight back! The story is all told from Wanderer's point of view and how she copes with taking over Melaine's body, how she deals this new world she has been brought to, but also how she copes with this new emotion of love. A fantastic addition to Stephenie Meyer's collection of novels.

Love Lolly

PS.. This book how now been made into a film, just like the Twilight saga, therefore a great reason to get in on the story.
