Current Connection

Stephenie Meyers Twilight series got several hits and caught the attention of its teen audience but can her new novel The Host beat it? This descriptive article will inform us on the story.

Meyers borrows from Jack Finney's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," the thought of aliens being out there to get earth never gets old. In this story the aliens have won and only a few humans remain. The main character,Melanie, refuses to let them take over her mind. The alien using Melanie as a host just won't give in to the idea of letting a human win it over. This keeps the audience wondering who will win the feud between the two.

This is the first novel to read where the aliens and the humans meet half way. These aliens do not steal, kill, or lie so how'd they take over Earth in the first place? The alien named Wanderer and Melanie eventually learn to trust and rely on each other throughout the story which keeps things interesting.

This promising young actress, Ronan, did a marvelous job making it all look so real. During the whole film she is debating in her mind with Wanderer. It will make you wonder how you can not have control of your own brain. Melanie eventually gets the upper hand and the fight to find her brother and her lover is something she achieves.

I have not seen this film but I have read the book and it does not hold a candle to the Twilight series. With all this talk I hope the movie is better than the book. But like Twilight there is a dramatic twist and the girl is torn between two boys.

Twilight is still loved by all of its fans. This new series Stephenie Meyer has shared with us will be loved by its fans too. We will see the challenge this new movie makes as it takes on Meyers Twilight series!
