I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

For the month of March, the Teen Reader's Book Club over at Goodreads is reading two books: I Am Number Four and Delirium. Being the overachiever that I am, I finished IANF yesterday. It's a great book, I must say.

The book is mostly about planets being raided for resources. Of course, the big part is being chased by Mogadorian aliens, but it's really about that. Basically, 'John Smith's' planet was destroyed and he had to come to earth. There's this Loric charm on him and these nine other kids.

The charm's really cool. They can't be killed out of order. Why? Because that'd make the story more interesting, of course. There's some other nifty things about the charm, but I won't go too deep.

Another thing about this book is that it's a love story. It's about his love for Sarah, and, if you ask me, his love for Henri, his guardian.

The Mogadorians are some pretty freaky dudes. They are pretty vicious. They want to kill the Loric people on Earth. They're trying.

The book begins with Number Three's death, and the scar that means somebody died carves into John's leg. He has to move, so Henri and him go to a place called Paradise, where his life sort of changes.

The movie's really good as well, but there are some parts that are very different.



Check back later, sorry for the sort of scattered review. I'm really tired but I wanted to review it tonight.
