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.

- Loved everything about this book

In Long

I am Number Four is one I have had on my shelf for a while now. It was one I wanted to read but wasn’t ever one which I was desperate to read which made it even better that I loved this book! I totally didn’t expect to like it as much as I did!

This whole book was a total rollercoaster. You are straight away introduced to the main character, John (Number Four) while also being introduced to the storyline. It’s crazy throughout the whole of this book but I loved that. Not only is this one of those really unique books which just refreshes you but it’s one of those books which has little twists throughout the book. Every chapter made the book better and better!

The main character, John, is someone who I straight away warmed to. He is one of those guys who acts all tough but is actually quite a softy with a caring side. My favourite sort of guy! The other characters are all developed, even the ones which aren’t in the book for long, they all have their own little ‘vibe’ about them. Henri, Johns Cepan was another character who I really liked.

Everything was just balanced, the characters were all interesting and put alongside the amazing and unique storyline there is nothing you won’t like.

Final Thoughts

I am Number Four has a bit of everything. Action, Romance, Aliens and a hot guy, what more could you want?! From the moment you open this book you will be drawn into a world you thought you could only imagine but within a few pages you will believe everything about that world is real.
