Book Review: I Am Number Four

I Am Number Four

Nine aliens and their guardians are hiding on Earth … protected by a charm that means they can only be killed in numeric order. Three are already dead. John Smith is Number Four.

John has to keep moving: he’s got to outrun his past; escape his mortal enemies the Mogadorians, and blend into normal student life. But above all he must pray his newly found powers – alien legacies from home Planet Lorien – don’t give him away before he can complete his destiny, unlock his powers and protect his future.

In the beginning we were nine.

We left when we were very young, almost too young to remember. Almost. And now . . .

Three are gone.

We are here to keep our race alive, which was almost entirely obliterated. We’re just trying to survive.

Six are left.

But we are hunted, and the hunters won’t stop until they’ve killed us all.

They caught Number One in Malaysia.

Number Two in England.

And Number Three in Kenya.

I am Number Four.

I know that I am next.

My Insights: 

If you love mystery, thriller and a bit of romance this is the right book for you. The story never gets boring, It was written very smoothly and it only gets better and better every time you turn the page.

The slightest thing that disappoints me was how the love story of John and Sarah ends but even though it ends like that, I was proud of Pittacus Lore of how he let his audience see the very good reason why it has to be like that.

All in all its a good book and a recommended one.
