Science fiction for people who don't like science fiction… About The Host: (Taken from stephaniemeyer.com) Despite its genre, The Host a very human story. There aren't any gadgets, ray guns, time warps, black holes, spaceships (okay, there are a few spaceships mentioned), or any of the other sci-fi standards. It all takes place on the planet earth in the present day and is, at its core, a love story (I can't stay away from the romance, I'm a sap). The basic premise: The Host takes place after a bodysnatchers-style invasion of the earth. We (the humans) lost. Our narrator is Wanderer, one of the invading "souls," who struggles to navigate all the bewildering challenges that come with living inside a human body. She was forewarned about these challenges—the overwhelming emotions, the stunning physical responses, the glut of senses, the too vivid dreams and memories… However, there was one challenge Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body, human survivor Melanie Stryder, refuses to fade away into oblivion the way she should. Melanie lingers as an angry presence in Wanderer's head, holding on to her human secrets and filling Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves—Jared, another human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for the man she's never met. Outside forces combine to make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, and, working together, they set off to search for the man they both love. It's possibly the first love triangle that only involves two bodies. Click here to pre-order The Host. Release date: May 6, 2008.

Hmmm, this sounds like a good story. I think I'll read it after Brisingr comes out.

Oh my gosh!!! This book was soooo good! It had me in tears at some points, and then I was trun to the next page eager to know what was going to happen next! I absolutely loved it. Maybe favorite character is Wanderer or Wanda. Which ever you want to call her.
I think I'm going to go read through my favorite parts again.

Ian is like yum all wrapped in BREAK ME OFF A PIECE OF THAT!  And he's so sweet. And I realize that I said both yum and break me off a piece of that in my last post too. I talked about it with one of my teachers (who also happens to be a friend of mine) and she said that she liked how Stephenie could make The Host sound like an adult book. And I understood what she meant. It was more... mature, for lack of a better word. It's an amazing book
