The Host

This was easy reading and very interesting. This is a story about after the aliens take over. Only a few humans are left, and are in hiding.

The aliens are like parasites; they take over the human body and live off it. They over take planets when they feel they can change it for the better.

The story is told from the perspective of the alien. When the alien takes over her host body, the host doesn't leave. Having someone elses mind in her own shows her a lot about humans and more importantly the memories of the guy the human was in love with who is still in hiding. So the alien and human escape from the rest of the aliens in search of the guy they are both in love with.

Sounds cheesy and dumb? Try describing Twilight. Stephanie Meyer has a good way of making simple stories/plots amazing. This is a story that lingers in your mind when you're done, not because it was deep, but because it's this adventure story about castaways in the desert on an alien inhibited planet. She makes it fun to imagine and think about.
