=== __The Host__  by Stephenie Meyer ===

===**“I’m lost, we’re lost. It’s over. They’re right behind now, loud and close. There are so many footsteps! I am alone. I’ve failed. The seekers are calling. The sound of their voice twists my stomach. I’m going to be sick.” __The Host__  by Stephenie Meyer is “A literary phenomenon says Lev Grossman the critic of Time Magazine. Hitting the target dead on, __The Host__  is truly an abnormality among other science fiction books, standing out like a shooting star among a serene navy blue summer night sky. The story’s protagonist, Wanderer (Wanda for short), will sweep people of all ages (but even more so seventh to tenth graders!) off their feet! __The Host__  will have you flipping page after page after page to reach the heart-aching, bittersweet yet happy ending. resolution. Moreover __The Host__  will set new standards for science fiction books alike. **===

===**Wanda, the main character, is a remarkable “specimen” if you must say. No one is as compassionate and courteous as her. She is such a kind soul that she wouldn’t give the command to let her assassinator get executed. Likewise, she is such a selfless person that she decided to give up her life and love at someone else’s expense. Furthermore, Wanda is such a virtuous person that she always does what’s right even if it causes her to suffer. All in all, you will see that Wanda is a reflection of the perfect person everyone should be. **===

===**The heart pounding, hand clenching, inducing-you-to-keep-turning-the-pages will keep you awake far into the night with reading __The Host__ . For instance, in this book, humanity is all but extinct. We are no longer here but our bodies still prevail and are occupied by foreigners; aliens that come from a world far away from our own planet, mother Earth. Meanwhile, one soul named Wanderer (Wanda as aforementioned) is placed in one of the last remaining humans left on earth. Now, the goal of Wanda is to weed out the last scraps of the human resistance is so that the seekers can quash the the human race once and for all. A catch that comes with receiving the human (Melanie Stryder) as a host is that Melanie refuses to fade away like the rest of her preceding and near-to diminished race.When both Wanda and Melanie find themselves in one body, the results are not pleasant. Over time,they eventually work together to protect what they both love from being captured by the oppressing seekers who seek to the last remaining humans on Earth. Will their work be enough? Or will everything they’ve worked hard for be capture in the end? This plot with man vs. government will surely induce you to keep turning the pages with great velocity. **===
