The Host, Stephenie Meyer, Book - Barnes & Noble

The Host, Stephenie Meyer, Book - Barnes & Noble: "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."


Okay, who ever READS, has probably read this, since the twilight saga is so popular. I read the host all the way back in about september 09', and it was a really good book. I loved the atmosphere of the book and the book is so easy to get completely mesmerized by it because your so into it and it's so good!. From what I have heard there is going to be a sequle to the host, probably not for a long time though, because she said she wants to take a break or something, but I can't wait nonetheless. The charecters in this book are completely amazing, now at first I did NOT like Ian, I thought , I dont know, that he was ummm, well I just didn't like him, ha!. But towards the end of the story his, as well as Jared's emotions shine through and it is such a rush!. I absolutely love it and I can't wait for the movie! I bet you Hot Topic is going to merchandise the host a lot like there doing with the twilight saga, who knows? :)
