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.

Featuring one of the most unusual love triangles in literature,THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel about the persistence of love and the essence of what it means to be human.
This was an incredible book. I read it over the summer last year and finished it within a few days. In my opinion, it was better than the Twilight Saga. I guarantee that you will love the new characters and the action/suspense in this book. It keeps you off your seat. I definitely can't wait until the movie comes out. My favorite character was Doc, by far. Very courageous person. Reminded me a bit of Carlisle. If you are a Twilight fan, you may not like it as well. It takes about 100 pages to get into, but that's when the action begins. I recommend this book for all guys and girls. Ages 11+
I've always thought this sounded WAAAAAAY better than Twilight. I've always wanted to give it a try, but been held back. You really helped. I think I better give it a try!

Yeah, it's really intense. It is definitely better than Twilight. But it takes a while to get in to so don't give up!
