The Host

New book by Stephenie Meyers...

Hard to get into, but after a few chapters, it was wonderful!! A love story...

Amazon Best of the Month, May 2008: Stephenie Meyer, creator of the phenomenal teen-vamp Twilight series, takes paranormal romance into alien territory in her first adult novel. Those wary of sci-fi or teen angst will be pleasantly surprised by this mature and imaginative thriller, propelled by equal parts action and emotion. 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. Readers intrigued by this familiar-yet-alien world will gleefully note that the story's end leaves the door open for a sequel--or another series. --Mari Malcolm

hmmm.. love story eh? Interesting!

It was a hard read at first... I read the book b/c I love the Twilight series, and this book is science fiction (which I am NOT into). I actually loved it, so I'd give it a try if you have time to read!

LOL Amy....

some of my books..


Actually, I did add it to my wishlist on amazon..

My To Be Read Pile is about 130 books right now..
I have 5 more books to review for 2 different publishers

and I am reading one for pleasure...

but.. having said that.. there is ALWAYS time to read!

I give up sleep an or food or .. most anything else to have time to read..

Hmmmm, I think I've heard of this somewhere!

I also love this book... I completely agree... it was very hard to get throw the first few chapters but after that it was great!

I loved the book- however, not as much as the Twilight series.

I did not expect to like it but could not put it down.
endearing flawed characters. loved it!
