Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

English Books: The Host

Hey, there!!
See, guys, I fell in love with the film based on "The Host" so I ran to buy the book. I'm not used to watching the film before reading the initial artistic element but... What can I say, this time it happened that way.
Anyway, I finished it ages ago and just wanted to talk to you about it.
"Melany Strider refuses to fade away" . An alien race has invaded the Earth and  are taking for hosts the bodies of almost every human on the surface.
But some still resist. Melany belonged to them until she got caught and was given a soul, named Wanderer, to occupy her body.
Wanderer is a soul who, as her name suggests, has travelled a lot. She's been to eight planets and spent a whole life cycle of her hosts in them.
The Seekers, souls in charge to find the resistance, hope that she's able to search Melany's mind to find answers to "Where's the base of the humans?" "What do they really expect to do?" "How many?"
The thing is that they don't count with the fact that Melany might still be there.
Some humans stay inside themselves and co-exist with the souls. Not many. But it's a possibility. And, of course, the strength of Melany helps her to survive.
Oh, and this special problem grows bigger every single day because... Melany and Wanderer kinda... connect. They get to be friends. And Melany's feelings for Jared, his boyfriend, get to be shared by Wanderer.
What will this feelings take them to? Will it be their salvation... or their destruction?

Find it out by reading the book, guys. It's totally awesome. I got all sentimental when it finished, couldn't believe that was it and no more was coming. :)
