The Host by Stephenie Meyer

The Host is an incredible book; my new favorite. It is science fiction, which I usually don't care for, but the book relates to the world we live in now. In the complex and detailed book, Earth has been invaded by souls. Humans become hosts for these enemies. Their minds are taken over by the souls who grasp their memories and use their bodies to continue their lives, but in a new world. Only a few humans remain; including Melanie. When Melanie is caught, a soul called Wanderer (the narrator) is put inside of her. When Wanderer tries to take over Melanie's mind, Melanie floods her with memories that she had with her love, Jared and her little brother, Jamie. Soon, Wanderer falls in love with these two boys too. Together, reading each others thoughts, Melanie and Wanderer set off in search of the two humans they hope are still human.

Unlike the dull characters in Stephenie Meyer's Twighlight saga, the characters in The Host are vibrant and very well distinguished. While reading, I felt like I was in this futuristic world that Meyer brilliantly created. I would recommend this book to anybody. It truly is amazing and you won't put it down.
