Amazon.com Review
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
Product Description
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
As Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of Jared, a human who still lives in hiding, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she's never met. Reluctant allies, Wanderer and Melanie set off to search for the man they both love.
Featuring one of the most unusual love triangles in literature, THE HOSTis a riveting and unforgettable novel about the persistence of love and the essence of what it means to be human. (2008)

 The Host November 22, 2008
Not what I was expecting... Once i got into the book I just couldn't put it down I hope there is a sequel to this novel. The story was very different but I loved every bit of it..

This author's novels must sit in the Throne Room of Satan's palace, where he reads them and then laughs hideously as he watches children's minds being devoured by this demonic fare! And to think parents actually let their kids be deceived into reading this garbage! This is a perverted, disgusting, and demonic book!
 The Host is GREAT! November 21, 2008
Well, I read the reviews on Twilight and I do agree with many of the reviews. The book was an easy read and it went against many of the norms of the ideas we have of vampires, however, I like a little imagination and something new...so that brings me to The Host!! which I thought was a great book which took me into a genre I have never thought I would enjoy, SciFi, not that it's completely SciFi, but it's really more SciFi than I'm used to reading, (I'm in Law School, so when I read for leisure I DO take it easy...lol) but i really did enjoy this book even though I thought it was a slow read at first it did get better so it was worth it in the end. The one unfortunate thing, about the book is that Wanderer is a bit like Bella, she "shudders" at many thoughts, mainly her love interest being away from her or being hurt..not sure what all that is about...but I think that was the worst part of the book, at least for me it was...I honestly want a second book to come out because as you may have read it seems that Wanderer is not so unique within her kind as she thought she was. So...it's a good read after all and I can't wait to see if there is more to come in connection with The Host. Thx!
Really good book! I hope she writes a sequel. November 21, 2008

After reading the Twilight Saga, I HAD to read The Host. I really like how this book is completely different from the Twilight Series and still is a romance novel. Stephenie Meyer uses a lot of creativity in this book that I respect. If you like Fantasy or Sience Fiction, you will probably like this book. After reading it I was hoping for a sequel.
The Host: A Novel November 20, 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have always been a fan of sci-fi and this is definitely one of the best. Not since "The Ship Who Sang" have I enjoyed sci-fi so much. I can't wait to read Stephenie Meyer's next book.
