 A fun and engrossing read October 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love fantasy and science fiction, I don't like science fiction that has so many technical terms that you don't quite grasp half the novel... Stephenie Meyer creates an alternate world that is intriguing and complex, but doesn't require the reader to have various PhDs to fully appreciate what she's created. A real page turner, I couldn't put it down. It's cliché, but I laughed and cried and was very very sad when it was over. I am a Stephenie Meyer fan, and was a little worried that I wouldn't like this as much as I loved her Twilight series but was not disappointed at all, I loved this book!
Even better than the Twilight Saga October 6, 2008

I couldn't stop reading the Twilight Saga--read all 4 books in less than 3 weeks. I must say that The Host is better than the entire story arc of the Twilight Saga. I am looking forward to the sequels. I read on Stephenie's website that she already had 2 sequals in mind for The Host. Sadly, I will have to WAIT till she writes them!
Extraordinary! October 4, 2008
When I began reading "The Host" I was very surprised to realize that this book was not anything like Stephenie Meyers: Twilight Series. I did love her other series but I do think that "The Host" is more unique and exciting. So if you were not disappointed by Stephie Meyer's other work then you will definetly be happy with this novel.
"The Host" takes place in the near future where creatures called 'souls' come to earth and take over human bodies, using them as 'hosts'. 'Souls' have traveled to dozens of other planets and can live as long as they want if they do not choose to stay in the same body for too long of a time.
The Wanderer is one of these souls who is quite popular in her civilization for being in over seven different planets with at least seven different hosts.
Melanie is Wanderer's host but she is different than any other host that Wanderer has had. Melanie can communicate, fill Wanderer's mind with dreams and occasionally take over the body for short periods of time.
With this unique occurance the two of them end up going on a journey to find Melanie's younger brother and lover. This starts the trail of finding and getting past those who cannot understand and realizing who really is the monster.
I highly recommend "The Host" and hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
