Best Dystopian Novels (Part 2)

• The Host by Stephenie Meyer | Amazon Price (Paperback) - $ 11.55

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. Earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of 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.

Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, The Host is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.

• Uglies by Scott Westerfeld | Amazon Price (Paperback) - $ 9.99

Tally Youngblood is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait for the operation that turns everyone from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to party. But new friend Shay would rather hoverboard to "the Smoke" and be free. Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The "Special Circumstances" authority Dr Cable offers Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.

"The Host" Takes its Shot in the Big Screen

Though Meyer's fans may got their whole attention focused on the Twilight Saga's final movie, "Breaking Dawn" Part 2, which will be shown starting November 16, let's not forget that Meyer's other supernatural novel "The Host" will be soon hitting the screen as well this coming 2013.

The Host is an engaging story about a parasitic alien "Soul" injected into the body of a 21-year old human named Melanie Stryder. The Soul named Wanderer, also called as "Wanda", was sent to carry out a mission in helping her race to take over the Earth. Unexpectedly though, Wanda's formed a bond with her host body "Melanie" and sets out to help the human race instead. 

The story originally was a novel written by Stephenie Meyers and was published in the year 2008 as a "highly anticipated follow-up to the wildly popular and acclaimed Twilight series." The novel introduces us into a time wherein our planet Earth is being invaded by unseen enemies called the Souls, a race of parasitic aliens which takes over the bodies and minds of unsuspecting humans.

The Host's distribution rights was acquired by Open Road Films, an American independent film distribution company based in Hollywood, Californi, and was directed by Andrew Niccol.
