The Host

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

As Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of Jared, a human who still lives in hiding, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she's never met. Reluctant allies, Wanderer and Melanie set off to search for the man they both love.

Featuring one of the most unusual love triangles in literature, THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel about the persistence of love and the essence of what it means to be human.

This is most definitely how i felt throughout this entire movie. 
NO don't get  me wrong the story line was beautiful. But i just didn't know how to feel about the whole relationships  Because i absolutely loved Jared and Melanie together and when he called her an it and wouldn't look at her broke my heart because well they were perfect beforehand and they both loved each other so much and made sacrifices for each other. therefore you can understand how the alternate relationship between Ian and "wanda" threw me off. In the book is a lot easier to imagine them as to separate people, but when you are watching the movie and everything is visual it is much harder to avoid that it is the same body. On that same note i wish that there could have been some sort of behavior that was a major switch between melanie and wanda i believe that would have helped the viewers so much.
Personally I loved Jared and Melanie together so much more than Ian and Wanda. This could be that Max Irons is well...AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
Just for your viewing enjoyment i will include some delightful pictures of his holy hotness.
