The Host: a review

|

The Twilight Seriesby Stephanie Meyer is the latest rage,started by a dear friend at school,Nabanita.I was hooked to the book from the very first page and proceeded to the rest of the books in the series New moon,Eclipse and Breaking dawn.Oh,and they are highly recommended!
By the 50th page of Twilight I had become a die hard Stephanie Meyer fan.So the next weekend I checked in at Starmark and bought The Host(I'm an impulsive buyer when it comes to books.That day I picked up another book Labyrinth by Kate Mosse,which I loved.Might post a review soon!)
Okay, sticking to the story...What would you do if your soul was poured into another's body and that someone refused to go away?Wanderer,is a cherished alien.She has lived on seven planets and our planet earth is her eighth.So,a li'l problem like a troublesome host shouldn't have bothered her,or so she thought.That was until Melanie began to show her living memories and Wanderer begins to empathise with her.She agrees to assist Melanie in a quest to find her little brother Jamie and Jared,Melanie's one true love.In this quest,with a nosy Seeker(not the Harry Potter kind) hot on her trail Wanderer begins to question the fruitfulness of the whole invasion and even her own existense.Will Wanderer ever get rid of her pesky host?Will she seek solace somewhere else?Find out!
What do you have when the story progresses effortlessly and a 550 page book seems like light reading?A good book.That is what this book is.If you loved Twilight,you should definately go for it.
