The Host (Stephanie Meyer)

If I ever get a chance to sit down with Stephanie Meyer I spend every second I can to pick a part her brain.  She has a unique ability to create worlds that are cohesive and imaginative, while creating the tension of a love story and the drama of an action story.

This novel is not geared for teens and pre-teens like the Twilight Saga, so I personally enjoyed it much more than the quadri-series.  It may be about an alien invasion, but it feels more like a psychological thriller delving into the mind of human through the eyes of an extra-terrestrial.

I couldn't put it down while I was on vacation at the beach in North Carolina.  Fortunately, I had a long holiday weekend in order to become absorbed.  It was just long enough to finish the novel on two plane rides and a couple of days on the beach (with family time in between).
