A guest review from Teen Room Staff Cat!
You all know Stephenie Meyer as the vampire lady, but in The Host she takes a step into a different genre. Science Fiction.
The Host tells the story of aliens. These aliens find planets with life forms, and then insert their souls into these forms, and now they are on earth. The main alien, named the wanderer, had lived many lives and seen many planets. She is put into a body which, she finds out, is from a rebel human, one of the few left alive. The Wanderer is supposed to help track down these last humans, but the human, Melanie, lives on in her head. This is quite unexpected, and leads to turmoil. Should the Wanderer help destroy the humans?
I liked this book. It’s a nice blending of sci-fi and romance, which makes it more accessible to lovers of both. It is a little lengthy though I don’t think it was boring, so the length shouldn’t really be a problem.
