Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com 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. Incredible | Customer Rating: | | This book was so incredible. I wasn't sure about it at first because I'm not too big on sci-fi but since Meyer is such an incredible writer, I had to read it and I'm so glad I did. She is such an incredible writer and I don't think anyone could have pulled off a plot like this besides her. I recommend this book to anyone! | A good read | Customer Rating: | | I enjoyed the take on aliens and the people resisting them. I did find Wanda to passive and nice and she annoyed me. But overall I found it a good story and found myself looking for extra time to read. | Slow middle, but worth the read. | Customer Rating: | | It took some time for me to get into this book. It may be because I am not use to wrapping my head around alien stories, but I felt I had to give this one a try since I loved the Twilight series so much. I wasn't disappointed in the end. It was worth my time and I found out that I can enjoy stories about all different types of characters. | The Host | Customer Rating: | I love Stephanie Meyer and her books...This was no exception. You will always find, love, a tear or two and a happy ending. I loved her vampire series as well...but this was a pleasant change. | Fascinating look at possible life from other worlds | Customer Rating: | | Ms. Meyers manages to give a new twist to the old "Invasion of the Body Snatchers " theme. You cannot help but be drawn into and become sympathetic to both the fighting human host and the invading personality. Great story. |
