Book Review: Soul seeking out a family
Print Edition
I THINK this book “The Host” by Stephenie Meyer is good to read as the plot is interesting.
The main character, Melanie is part of a human group resisting the alien invasion of Earth. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their body intact. She gets caught and a soul named Wanderer is inserted into her body. Melanie’s consciousness won’t fade, however, and her thoughts and memories move Wanderer to love the people Melanie loved. Wanderer sets out to find her host body’s family, and what follows is the story of her time with the humans of the resistance movement. It’s about the power and hope of love.
This is a long book — 620 pages — and not quite as compelling as the Twilight series. There were long stretches when I didn’t pick up the book because it wasn’t compelling.
But I would still recommend this book because the plot is very interesting!
