This book is amazing, the perfect blend of romance and sci-fi. I also watched the movie, and it was okay, the book was defiantly better. Stephenie Meyer did such a great job, with all the descriptions of Jared, she made me love him too!

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.

This is a really interesting book, once you start reading it you can't stop! It's basically about aliens invading earth. Those aliens would live in human body which is called "host", and control them. After the human body got possessed by the aliens, there will be a little while circle in their eyes, so that can differentiate who's human and who's aliens. Human were haunted by the aliens, only a little group of humans were hiding in a cave, trying to survive. The main character Melanie, was possessed, but the host's soul was very strong, it's still inside the body, the alien would fight for spaces in the brain. Melanie was a member of that group of human that were alive. After communicate, they decided to go back and find the group of people. After a series of incidents, it would challenging the friendship, love, trust. It's really exciting, after reading book you would realise that the real friendship can not be destroyed. I recommend this book to everyone that's age between 12-17, enjoy!
I loved the book so much, I finished it in two days! I didn't really like the Twilight series, and I think the Host is definitely better. First of all, I liked how the characters were different from each other. From Melanie's stubborn, headstrong personality to Wanderer's more sensible and slightly insecure one, Stephanie Meyer definitely did a good job on this masterpiece. The book talks about friendship, trust, fitting in, and tough love. The beginning was a bit ambiguous and made me a bit confused, but once I understood what was going on, I caught up quickly. The plot was really good, it was obvious that the author planned ahead in the book. Really recommend it!
