After the New Moon


Since I can't find Stephenie Meyer's third book anywhere at the bookstores, I took a chance of buying her first adult fiction. It's not about vampire but aliens... Humans become hosts for these alien invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. I am ambivalent about body snatching movies where the bodies became violence and zombie-like. However I'm sold to the idea of humans are stronger to resist total invasion of these aliens that taking over the body.
INMHO the book is refreshing, well-engaging and emotionaly provocative. The book is told from the point of view of the invading soul the Wanderer which was warned about the challenges of living inside a human. "She" faced the overwhelming emotions, senses, and vivid memories of the human. I've finished reading it last week but it is still in my mind that I have to review it.
