a lot of you guys have probably heard of the twilight books, the insanely popular unbelievably shamelessly crappy vampire novels. anyway the author has come out with a new book and i was reading the summary and parts of it have some glaring resemblances to our favorite parasite species.

NOTE: i'm not trying to say she copied animorphs or even that she had it in mind while writing this! i just wanted to post it because it reminded me of animorphs and i'm sure you all can see the reason why.



The Host

A gripping story of love and betrayal in a future with the fate of humanity at stake. Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.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.

ooh i must have -- sorry! it's been hard for me to keep up with LJ lately with the end-of-school-year hubbub. twilight.. i mean i've read it, and i truly hated it. a lot of people LOVE LOVE LOVE it, some people find it to be a guilty pleasure but personally i don't even think it's good enough for that. if you want to read it, by all means, i would say to do so if you're curious but just don't expect anything mindblowing. it's a quick, easy read.
