Even though I am not of the Twilight books, I am obsessed with The Host. I think they casted the movie perfectly, especially Max Irons as Jared. I love this book and fangirl over it all the time. TEAM JELANIE FOREVER

The author of the Twilight series of # 1 bestsellers delivers her brilliant first novel for adults: a gripping story of love and betrayal in a future with the fate of humanity at stake.
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.
Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves-Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.
Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.

If this is the book I think it is then it is amazing so far. It is a book sort of about tough love. Someone is living inside of you and you have their feeling. You love who they love even if you have no idea who they are. They take over your life.
This book is one of my favorite books. I love it. It is so interesting and I reccomend it to everyone. I never want to stop reading it its so good.
Im reading it right now and so far its pretty good. However, sometimes I get confused with all the different names. Like "seeker", "soul", or "healer".
It's really good, and I totally recommend it! :)
One of my favorites!!! This book was amazing in detail and the writing was spectacular. It was a real page turner and I wish I could reread it for the first time all over again! By the author of Twilight, Stephenie Meyers does not disappoint! LOVE IT!
A new movie based on this comes out on March29,2013
I thought this was a great book about true friendship, love and courage. A lot of people are quite prejudice about Stephanie Meyer because they don't like the twilight films. personally I think her writing is very good. If you like romantic stories with a bit of action in it I would recommend this book
