I am number Four Review

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.

That was the synopsis that caught my eye and got me all a twitter about it. The writer on the novel is Pittacus Lore, which later I found out is a pseudonym for writer James Frey. This is number one in the series Lorien legacies. Action, adventure and romance, what more could I ask for? I am really looking forward to the next book and the movie that is coming out in February 2011.

I give this 3.5 stars, it was a fun, exciting fast read.
