But Melanie isn’t okay with someone besides Jared kissing her (she’s not really okay with Jared kissing her either, since Wanda controls the body).

Stephenie Meyer has kept touting it as the first love triangle with only two bodies, but really, there is sort of a love quartet, because one of the other guys hanging out in the middle of Arizona falls in love with Wanda. Jared wants nothing to do with Wanda, because she’s now in his lover’s body and also, Wanda is too scared to tell him that Melanie still exists somewhere inside. So, off they trek to the Arizona wilderness where they find Jamie and Jared. Because Wanda still feels Melanie’s emotions, she is invested in these two people and Melanie convinces her to go find them. um, Jamie (sorry, had to go check Wikipedia for that) are in hiding. Wanda finds out that Melanie’s boyfriend, Jared, and her brother. The main alien in The Host is Wanda and the original soul in her new body, Melanie, is constantly talking to her in her head.

Most humans submit, but a few fight back like crazy to maintain their own soul. In case you don’t know the story line, here is the world’s shortest recap for The Host by Stephenie Meyer: aliens take over the Earth and put their souls into human bodies. Has everyone read The Host by Stephenie Meyer now? Yes? What do you think – better or worse than the Twilight books? I’m so curious because I can’t decide, still, where I fall.
