The Host Cast

This book was released over a year ago and after finally making the time I finished reading it. I have to say Stephenie Meyer (same author of the Twilight saga) sure has a way of pulling her readers in and never letting go. I simply could not put the book down and when I had to I couldn't wait to pick it up again. This is Meyer's first adult novel and she delivers with thunderous applause. Of course I've always been into Science Fictions films - Aliens, Predator, Terminator etc. - but this was the first time I have ever read a Sci-Fi novel. Even though the focus in this book is all about relationships, love and betrayal the main theme is all Sci-Fi.

The plot:
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.

If they ever make this book into a film I have no doubt it will be absolutely amazing and if done right it could possibly be even better than the book. While reading I envisioned these actors portraying these main characters. With that being said, I present to you The Host cast.
