Stephenie Meyer's The Host

SUMMARY:

The popular author of the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer, has produced yet another gem. The Host is an enjoyable book about a Soul named Wanderer (wanda for short) who is implanted in the brain of her human host, Melanie Stryder. Melanie fought long and hard for four years to avoid the implantation before being caught trying to find her cousin Sharon in Chicago, Illinois.

After Wanda discovers Melanie has not faded from her mind like the human should, she gets scared. Mel throws all sorts of confusing dreams and memories at Wanda. Due to arogue memory (and a very annoying seeker) Wanda leaves San Diego, California. Mel helps guide Wanda to a place where humans still thrived to find her family outside of Tuscon, Arizonia. There she meets Jeb, the curious leader of the Caves, Jamie, Mel's still human little brother, Jared, Mel's true love who doesn't accept Wanda at first, Ian, who likes Wanda the soul for who she is, Kyle, who's out to kill Wanda, and a whole cast of the 39 characters who live in the caves.

In the caves, Wanda is forced to face unacceptance, mortality, curiosity, and a different kind of hope. Not to mention the annoying seeker comes back to find her. She must also learn to know love and determination while having someone sit behind her own thoughts. Mel also learns to accept Wanda. But what will happen when Mel and Wanda start to conflict again? What will become of the humans? How will Wanda react when she finds out the humans' secret? Find out by reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer.

REVIEW:

I believe The Host is a great sci-fi read. It also brings to light an ignorance for accepting who people are. Also, it explains how intervention is not always a positive situation. The Souls taking over is a symbol of how the human race is taking the wrong path. They come to integrate peace, but take the humans minds from them and only the strong will survive (Darwinism?).
Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight Series, is a great writer. I have to say, though, I enjoyed The Host better than the Twilight Series (Don't kill me, please). The style she uses love in in this book is better than the mushy-gushy reading of Twilight. This book is more credible and also has a great plot with plenty of twists and turns. I believe Stephenie Meyer has created a better book with The Host.

Disclaimer:

I love Twilight the book and the movie and would never bash it unless I thought necessary so please do not come find me and kill me. I would appreciate it! Thank you!
