The Host

Hello Everyone!

This week, I have chosen to start a new book. The name of the book is called "The Host" and the author, that is very well know is called "Stephenie Meyer". The number of pages the book has is 617. The picture is located at the very bottom of the post, after all my writing. 

Basically, my story takes place in the future. In the future, earth has been colonized by the "Souls". The "Souls" are an alien race that inhabit human bodies, and as we get into the book, and as we finish the first couple of chapters, we learn that there are only a few humans who's bodies have not been inhabited by the alien group. Melanie Stryder is one of the few humans that have not been taken control of the Souls and she later meets the rest of the remaining humans. As the book continues, Melanie is taken over by a Soul and fights him while the Souls attempts to get inside her head, and see all her memories, and since Melanie has meet the remaining humans, if the Soul accesses her memories, he will be able to see the remaining humans and take control over them. 

The most interesting part of the book, is in my case, the very beginning. The reason the beginning is most interesting is because it all starts with the major event, and I was very confused because they did not say what "Souls" were, etc, but then when they started giving hints and in some way filling in the blanks, you started to understand more, and when you understood everything that' when the story got interesting. 

"Because he was a soul, by nature he was all things good: compassionate, patient, honest, virtuous, and full of love." (Meyer 1) This sentence was on the very first page, and the world was "virtuous". The definition of virtuous is having, or showing moral high standards. 

Where I got my definition: https://www.google.rs/search?q=virtuous&aq=f&oq=virtuous&aqs=chrome.0.57j60j0j65j0l2.2186&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
