The Host by Stephenie Meyer


I finally finished The Host today. I got it last Wednesday, so it took me a little over a week to read it. I've been busy with crocheting (I've made two bags and I'm currently making bunny slippers!) and we're closing on a house tomorrow, so that's been keeping me busy, too. Anyway, back to The Host. Here is the summary from Amazon.com:

"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."

I loved this book! It was so good! I think I would love anything Stephenie writes, though. She's such an amazing writer. At first I thought the book would be really weird, but it was great! The "love triangle" was a very cool aspect of this book. I hope she writes a sequel. I want to read more about Wanderer and everyone else! I already want to reread the book. I thought I would compare it to Twilight the entire time, but I really didn't. If you liked Twilight and aren't sure if you should read The Host, you should! Go read it! Right now! You won't regret it! Can you tell I'm excited about this book?

5 out of 5 stars!

Have you read the first chapter of breaking dawn? It is absolutely amazing, I can't wait for the book on August 2nd. Also, did you see the clip for Twilight in the MTV movie awards, it is really amazing, i absolutely can't wait for both the movie and the book :D
