In order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Twilight, let's talk about Stephenie Meyer! Oh! What? You say the title is The Host? Haha! That's because I love The Host too much! I decide to start with The Host although it's less popular if you compare to Twilight Saga. (But a lot better!) Why do I love The Host so much? Curious? Than check out the review! 
 A sci-fi love story!!! Don't worry, this book is not a love triangle even though the summary only appeared Melanie, Wanderer, and Jared. But actually...the person that they both love is...Jamie!!! (What?! A love rectangle? Of course not!) Jamie is Melanie's little brother! And besides, the man Wanderer love is Ian!!! (If Jared is 100 times better than Edward, than Ian is 10000 times hotter, better than Edward!) I personally love Ian so much! He's kind and handsome, even he treated Wanderer really horrible at first, (When I mean horrible...mean killing her...) he gradually learn the souls' worlds. How they live and what are they thinking, and all of this thanks to Wanderer. Despite the fact that he tried to kill wanderer before, he's the kindest man among all the stories. (Everyone makes mistake...so I forgive you.) 
 In The Host, we no longer have to read how hot the guys are or how wonderful they are. Instead, what we admire Melanie and Wanda (Wanderer) is because their courage, their kindness. Their attitude toward the people they love and how they gradually gain respect from others. Unlike Twilight, we don't have to read how much the girl loves the boy, we can simply inform by their interaction. Melanie and Jared, Wanderer and Ian love each other not because their appearance, but the person inside them. You can realize that especially from Ian. Reader who read Twilight will remember how Bella usually focused on how handsome Edward was, and she simply lost herself just for Edward's left in New Moon. Come on! This is 21 century! Who need boys or worse, lose ourselves because boys? Girls have to be tough! Thank goodness, Stephenie created two strong heroines in The Host. Who love their man, but much more than swooning for them. They put things into action and they protect themselves. The Host is a romantic book but also a book full of adventure. It reveals the good and bad side of human...or soul. And more, the universe is much larger than we know. (Ah! I know it's a fiction novel, but who knows? Perhaps after hundreds of year will find that the world in The Host truly exists! ) I don't like love stories, but I enjoy a great relationship in books.
