The Host - Stephenie Meyer

Invasion of the Body-Snatchers from the perspective of the body-snatcher. Interesting premise interestingly fleshed out. The psychology of the characters doesn't always work, and I think she starts going interesting places and then wimps out and just barely touches on them or over simplifies. I'd elaborate, but it's been, like, three weeks since I finished it and that's WAY too long for me to remember things like plot points and character names, much less partially developed themes of humanity and the complications or existence of true altruism. I think it's a better book than Twilight or its sequels.
