Stephenie Meyer is best know for The Twilight Saga but don't let that put you off reading The Host. A science fiction/fantasy novel with an appeal far outside its genre, this is a sensitively written, thought provoking novel that actually brought tears to my eyes at times. I've lent this to a few people who wouldn't normally chose to read this kind of fiction and (except for one person) they have enjoyed it as much as me.
A slow burner that gradually draws you in until you can't put it down. Well worth a read in my opinion.
What the younger generation missed! Do we?
