Who has read "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer? Is it good?

Question

who has read the "HOst" by stephenie Meyer? Is it as good as Twilight? Is there romance in it...and could you basically give me a short synopsis of the book w/o giving away any spoilers? Thanks!!!

Answer 1

i did, and i loved it! its kind of confusing at first, but you have to get into it because its way different from twilight. twilight, of course, is better. who could deny that? haha.

basically, its about aliens called souls who invade earth and take over human's bodies to use them as 'hosts'. but this one soul, named wanderer cant seem to get rid of her previous host's thoughts. the previous host is still present in the body, so its like there are two people living in one body, which only the soul can control.

it sounds strange, i know, but its really good. you should read it.

Answer 2

Ahh it was really good,  not as good as twilight and all that, but still amazing.  Its about how these aliens take over the earth and live in the humans' bodies, controlling them.  One exceptional "Soul"(named Wanderer) that inhabits a body of a human named Melanie Stryder can not get melanie's mind to go away.  The soul has control over her body but melanie still exists in a corner of Wanderer's mind.  Eventually wanderer begins to fall in love with the man that Melanie loved, and also melanie's little brother.  Wanderer and melanie become allies and go to find mel's fmaily and love.

its really great!  probably my 2nd favorite book ever.  Love it!

My mom was hired to read it and write a review of it for some large magazine. Anyway, she said the beginning was slow and took awhile to get through but that it picked up and was better after the first 20 pages or so. I tried reading it myself but I thought it appeared a bit childish. Then again, I thought that about Ms. Meyer's other books. As much I love and cherish vampire books, I just didn't find her books that interesting. I prefer Anne Rice but I say give it a shot.

I heard that it was good, but i'm still reading breaking dawn
