Its previous owner Melanie still resides. Wanderer’s host, she finds, is not yet empty. The souls or parasites as the humans call them, have taken over Earth by inserting those of their kind into human bodies, which they call hosts. The Host is the story of human host, Melanie Stryder into which an experienced soul, Wanderer is inserted. But somehow, Meyer managed to surprise me just a little bit. I went into this book with few expectations, because I knew it was going to be an easy, breezy read sans the literary quality. Of course, the larger picture brings older characters into the limelight, but attention is on the few school-going kids.Īnd just like the Twilight series, there comes The Host. It is about vampires, but those who are in their teens, one of whom falls in love with a teenage human girl. Stephenie Meyer isn’t anything of a force to reckon with in literary circles. And the books weren’t as bad as the movies. But I will say this over and over again, like any booklover: The books were better. And yes, the Twilight movies were adapted from Meyer’s books. The first thing that goes through any bookworm’s mind when they think “Stephenie Meyer” is “Oh, she’s that vampire wali author, no?” Yes, she is.
