I Am Number Four

First, let me say, I've been so behind on reading lately. I haven't read anything since This World We Live In, which was a month ago. :-/

Anyways...

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore is the first book of the Lorien Legacies series.

(Summary from inside flap)

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 dream of doing. We have powers 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.

They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They killed them all.

I am Number Four.

I am Next.

10/10 Another sci-fi book. I have to admit I was kinda skeptical on whether I'd like this or not, considering it's about aliens, but I loved it. Though the inside flap summary, I don't think, really does the book justice. It doesn't really tell you anything.

Basically, Number Four, aka John, moves to Paradise, Ohio with he Cêpan, Henri, who acts as a father to John. He tries to live a normal life, but knows he might have to leave at a moment's notice.

Anyway, I loved this book. It was really creative, I thought. It had action, romance, and had me with tears down my face. It actually kinda reminded me of my own story, how they have to run away from people who are trying to kill them.

Can't wait to read The Power of Six. :)

By the way, I haven't seen the movie.
