The Host


If you liked the movie the Invasion, this book will be an excellent choice for you. The human world has been invaded by aliens, but we can't kill the aliens without killing each other. But some humans won't fade away once they have the alien inserted into their brains.... Mhhhhhhhhh... brains...... Melanie Stryder is one of those people. She has an influence on the alien that has taken over her body unlike any other human. But when she finally returns to the people she cares about with the alien still occupying her body she has to find a way to show that she is still in their. And Wanderer has to keep a secret from the humans that could end her entire race from living on this planet. A good book that you just can't seem to put down. I give this book a 4.5 words out of 5 for its outrageous effort. Way to go Stephenie Meyer! Bring on more BLOOD! Found at your excellent school library.

  1. I haven't actually talked to too many people who have read this book, but a couple who have commented that they didn't like it. I suppose it is because they were expecting it to be like Twilight. Do you think this is a more difficult read than Twilight? As in, do you think this is a more mature read?

  2. This is a kind of book that is definitely more mature then Twilight. A author can change the style at any given point, but this book goes from 2 teens who are like Romeo and Juliet to this book which is more of a book you would read if you question the true life of aliens. A really good book with blood.
