Additional The Host: A Novel Information
|
The author of the Twilight series of # 1 bestsellers delivers her brilliant first novel for adults: a gripping story of love and betrayal in a future with the fate of humanity at stake.
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.
Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves-Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.
Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.

What Customers Say About The Host: A Novel:

Once I start one of her books I can't stop until I'm done. I love the way Stephenie Meyer writes.
It is well written and has a truly fascinating and novel story line. Though her Twilight series has received much more attention, I liked The Host much better.
However, I did feel like the author got a little carried away with some of the "science fiction parts;" but then again, isn't that what this genre is all about. Towards the beginning I found myself a little frustrated with part of the plot, but then realized its purpose. I'm not a fan of science fiction, but I enjoyed this book a lot. While mystery, suspense, and action didn't fill the pages as in the Twilight series, it was still difficult for me to put the book down once I got into it.
Stephenie Meyer is an excellent story teller who has a wonderful imagination. I loved the plot and the entire story line. This is an excellent book. In fact it was the first science fiction book I have ever read.
I do think it needed some editing for length though. Good start into sci-fi.
