I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he's a mystery. But to me . . . he's one of us.
Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us—if we all still believe in our mission. How can I know? There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another . . . but our Legacies are developing, and soon we'll be equipped to fight. Is John Number Four, and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who may be strong enough to bring the six of us together?
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio—and failed.
I am Number Seven. One of six still alive.
And I'm ready to fight.
I had such a hard time putting this book down! Thankfully I was feeling rather cruddy today and had a good excuse to spend a lot of it reading! I find the whole concept of powerful aliens seeking safety on Earth from another species of alien set on hunting them all down rather fascinating.
I was drawn into Number Four's (aka John Smith) story in the first book, I Am Number Four. In this book we are introduced to more of the "numbers" and I found myself rooting for all of them and hoping they all find each other. A couple of twists in this story and it was super riveting! I hate that I have to wait for another book, though!
Rating: 4/5

A review?! Holy cow! It's been nearly 6 months since your last review. Glad to see another one. If they come out with a movie sequel to I Am Number Four, do you plan on seeing it?
Yeah, just to see how closely it follows the book. The first movie mostly followed the first book...
I was NOT a fan of the first movie. Maybe I'd like the book more...
Btw, I am SUPER excited to see a new review from you! I've actually been thinking about starting my own book blog back up again. We'll see.
The book was definitely better than the movie... it explained a lot more about why they were on Earth and what their powers were for... definitely better.
