Book # 24: The Host

by Stephenie Meyer

An intriguing science fiction tale of an alien species that inserts itself into other species in order to live.  They begin to colonize Earth, but realize that Earthlings are able to retain a presence in their brain.  Sounds strange and far-fetched, but was truly well written.  It was one of those books that you can't put down, read straight through, and then are sad to be done with.  I was amazed by Stephenie's ability to have you sympathize with both the alien species and us as a decidedly strange love triangle occurs.   A tad predictable and not a book that requires a ton of thought, but still one I'd highly recommend.
