This week's neglected book
The Host
(The Host #1)by Stephenie Meyer
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.
Why did I add The Host to my bookshelf?
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it to others?
I read the Twilight books and liked them at the time (I'll probably find them too slow now!) but I never really got round to reading this one. I think I started it but put it straight down, I don't know why. I doubt I'll get to it now.
ReplyDeleteI read this one shortly after it was released. It is very different than Twilight but I do remember enjoying the book. I hope you enjoy this one when you do get the chance to read it, Jackie!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while, but I loved this one quite a bit and it was one of my first sci-fis. I always hoped she would write a series for it with more in this world.
ReplyDeleteI also read this one when it was released. I did enjoy it and the characters. Like Sophia, I think this may have been one of my first sci-fi reads (at least the one I could actually remember). I hope you enjoy it Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this one, but it is on my TBR pile too. I have put off watching the movie because I want to read the book first. One of these days. :-)
