About this listen
Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.
Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, The Host is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.

Unexpectedly Enjoyed!
After Twilight, I wasn't sure what to expect from Meyer but this book is really enjoyable and believable for me. It isn't too sappy but the romance is there, for sure. #Audible1

Favourite book
Used to be my favourite book when I was younger so I decided to go back to it to see if it was still my favourite.
Still as amazing as I remember! I absolutely love this book. Its so captivating. Slow start, I'll admit. But still great.
the narrator seems a bit too...old to be reading first-person as a young 20-year-old.

Excelent performance and one of my favourite books
I had read this book before listening and Kate Reading's performance brought it to life in new ways while also being very appropriate for the characters, which are many. This book has much better writing than the Twilight saga too, which I like but is undeniably cringy at (many) times.

beautiful story.
I loved the book, the movie and now the audiobook. The characters are so we'll developed and her description of the world they live in is rich and complex. The narrators voice for the seeker is a little irritating but so is the character. Will definitely be a reread in the future.

This is one of my favorites
I originally read this years ago, and fell in love with the characters. Therefore I try to read it once a year. This is very much a story that is centered on the characters, and the mind of the main character. I love seeing how every character evolves throughout the story, and I hope that someday there will be a book two.

My new favourite novel!!!!
This story fantastically depicts an Earth reality where humans are commandeered by a higher life form. Many aspects hit close to home and the truth, making it an easy stretch to contemplate this valid alternative. The story is riveting, and the basis is love. you can't go wrong with this delightfully plausible alternate... or not so alternate reality!
