I Am Number Four Review



I Am Number Four
Author; Pittacus Lore.
Publisher; Harper Collins.
Publication Date; 2010.
Page Count; 440.

Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you can only dream of doing. We have powers that you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books—but we are real. Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. We have lived among you without you knowing. But they know. Number One was killed in Malaysia. Number Two was murdered in England. Number Three was hunted down in Kenya. Before they come for the others, they'll come for me. I Am Number Four. I am next.

This was an amazing book. It had everything; fantasy, action, romance, suspense and surprises that caught you offguard. What I really loved about it was that you could connect with the characters, feel their pain or sadness with them, feel their happiness, feel their fear. The plot was great too. I had nothing to complain about at all in this book. I love when books suck you in and you find it hard to put it down; That is exactly what happened with this story. I'm really glad that I read it before the movie is released. Bring on the second book! 

My rating;
