Summary:
The novel begins with Melanie, one of the only surviving humans, trying to escape the capture of a new species; they call themselves souls. After being captured, Melanie’s body is used as a ‘host’, a place for a soul to reside, for an exceptionally intelligent and experienced soul, Wanderer. Melanie’s mind remained extremely strong and she has the power to influence Wanderer. Melanie finally breaks through all of Wanderer’s judgment and leads her on a search for her still human family through the dessert. The humans, that managed to escape the souls, show a very passionate hatred towards the invasive species. Will Melanie’s family accept her? Or will they hate her because of Wanderers presence?
Review:
The Host is, without a doubt, science fiction. Stephanie Meyer directs the book towards a teenage audience. Her novel is filled with intricate details, suspense, and both heartwarming and devastating scenes. Wanderer struggles with finding a place where she fits in. Melanie shows tremendous strength as she tries to save her family. The combination of two individuals sharing one body and mind is explosive. It is a tale of a hopeless romance, a deadly adventure, and self-defining experiences. This book really pulls you in because it makes you think, could something like this really happen?
