I recently read Stephenie Meyer's "The Host" and I can easily say that it is better than the "Twilight" series. "The Host" is better in my opinion because the main character is more interesting than Bella. And the plot is better developed and makes more sense.I think it is a really unique story. The idea of an alien invasion and a resistance is not new, but the way Stephenie Meyer did it in her story is very different.
At the beginning of the story, I was a little confused as to whose side I wanted to choose. You have Wanderer's side and Melanie's side. I was inclined to choose Melanie because she is human and would be having the experience we would have. But Wanderer was also so unique and interesting. I liked them both and didn't end up choosing a side. This was a good thing, because, as I continued to read, I realized that there really wasn't a side. In a way, there is no "bad guy" in this story unless it is violence, anger, and hate. Wanderer only hates hate and Melanie has human emotions which include hate. This was extremely interesting throughout the entire book.
The plot is fast paced and well written. I could hardly put this book down. I recommend this book to anyone who doesn't mind kissing (cause they do that in this book).
