The world has become a perfect place. There is no fighting, no war, no hatred. There is only sharing, kindness, and respect. There is only one catch, the humans had to get out of the way. The world has been overrun with an alien species which act as parasites, binding to a host and controlling its functions. Wanderer is just such a host, but the human body that she has combined to is not following normal protocol. The human consciousness, Melanie Stryder, refuses to fade away into the darkness. In a constant struggle for survival both find themselves being turned in new unexpected directions.
The science fiction novel does not involve over the top science fiction elements. The story is very human. Reading aloud the story seemed to jump out and force me to want to go just one more chapter. This led to a vicious cycle of always wanting just one more chapter. The book contained very realistic and interesting characters that gave good commentary on the human existence. Even Elisabeth, the disliker of all Stephenie Meyers’ previous books, thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Overall I give the book a grade of “A”.

Dave,
Perhaps you should consider using the "Goodreads" website to get the word out about books you have read to people you know, and are interested. Emily is a member.
