The Host by Stephenie Meyer

This is the new "adult" sci-fi fiction book by Stephenie Meyer (author of the Twilight series). I don't think what I write here will spoil anything if you are planning to read it. On the surface, you could say that it is a story about an alien invasion of Earth. But it is also a story about friendship and tolerance, it grapples with ethical issues, and it is a pretty good romance too. I really enjoyed it, probably nearly as much as the Twilight series. The writing is excellent as always. The story takes some unexpected turns. I cared about the characters. Stephenie Meyer is very good at directing your allegiances through her writing. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.
