7-3-08 The Host by Stephenie Meyer - Fiction

5 - Meyer's first foray into adult scifi is a winner. The descriptions I had seen made The Host seem like it was going to be campy and corny, but it was a beautiful look at humanity. the earth has been invaded by a parasitic species who use us as hosts to live their lives. Some humans have evaded capture and implantation and some host personalities have fought back against the "souls" once implantation has occurred. Meyer, already successful for the teen Twilight series, shows that she is a force to be reckoned with in adult books as well.
