I am Number Four

Have any of you read this yet? I say yet cause I'm pretty sure you'll end up reading it if you haven't.

I heard that it was good, but seriously- I loved it! I read it in two days! Here's the scoop if you're interested:

There are 9 kids that are shipped to earth because their planet is under attack. They are shipped to earth to preserve their "race" or whatever (and they are all scattered...none of them know where the others are). Anyway, bad guys are still after them on earth and can only kill them in order of their number. 1-3 are dead. The narrator of the book is number four. It's all about him and developing his special powers and of course, falling inlove with a human girl! It's set in high-school. It pretty much rocks. If you like Twilight, the Host, Hunger Games, Mortal Instruments series...this is RIGHT up your alley. It is the perfect combo of action, science-fictiony mystery, and romance.

I really hope no one has seen the movie though, if they haven't read the book...cause just from the trailer I can tell it's not as good (as always). But I still really want to see it!
You will absolutely fall inlove with John and Sarah's romance. And you will feel so happy with John and Sam's friendship. And then of course, there's the father-son relationship between John and Henri. Well- and I should probably mention the most tender relationship with the dog:) Really- just read it. You wont regret it! And I guess it's supposed to be the first of a six book series! Next one comes out in August. Woohoo!

I guess I didn't realize it was a book. I recognized the title because of the movie. It sounds really interesting. Wasn't a fan of the Twilight series and have not read the other ones but this sounds interesting.

My husband saw the movie. I didn't know there was even a book. Sounds a little crazy for my taste but if I run out of things to read I am always open.

I'm glad you liked it. I've been on the waiting lost for it at the library for a few month now- hopefully I'll get it soon!
