[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)]

[Read by Neil Kaplan]

The exciting first installment in the Lorien Legacies series.

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.

[*Also included is a sneak listen to the first chapter of the next book in the series. Enjoy!]

Better than the movie

Reviewed in Australia on 28 January 2019

Verified Purchase

The movie was fine but the book filed in so many blank spots left from the movie was really pleased when this pop up in my recommendation list of books slow to start with but worth reading but hope there is more to come in the future for the story of number four and six

Reviewed in Australia on 29 December 2021

A solid alien invasion novel, with plenty of fast paced action, romance, interesting characters. The concept is solid, if not particularly original, but it's fun to read.

I chose this book because on the blurb, I thought it might be good. Might be good. How much of an understatement is that? I loved the book. I enjoyed it so much I read it in one sitting.

Read very differently than the movie. Would have preferred more focus on the actual story line rather than 4 and Sarah's relationship

Eh... it was OK

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2021

This was another YA novel that I picked up after seeing there was a bad movie made out of it. I'm always intrigued by these as I know they must have been good books to be made into a film in the first place.

What I got was a very mundane fantasy/Sci novel. It had some great ideas and a inhad a lot of time for the world Lore is trying to build but the love story had me cringing and everything was sooo obvious from the outset. The ending was just about good enough to make me consider giving it a three star but then I thought I'd given Divergent four star recently and this was nowhere near as good as that. It wasn't a bad book by any means, just not one I'd instantly go and tell everybody about.

Best books I've read in a long time!

If you are a fan of Harry Potter, Divergent etc, then you simply have to read this series!! I couldn't put the books down - fair warning, you should only start reading these if you are prepared to say goodbye to any social life you may have - highly addictive and well written books!!!

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE (jokes) ;)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2018

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the book and its concepts and also the constant tension of being constantly hunted but I didn't much enjoy the romance part of the story. John and Sarah's relationship didn't really work in a logical sense- it started out well and felt real but soon it is nothing but an obsession with each other and has no weight behind it.
That part of the book sucks.
The rest is incredible and the ending truly toys with your emotions. I enjoyed it a lot and am looking forward to the rest of the series- a good long series is one of my favourite things.

Read it all before

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2014

Verified Purchase

I got this when it was free on Kindle and thought it might be worth a try. It has some positive points, but I felt that this really was a novel written for a young adult audience which doesn't cross over well for older adults to read (as in the case of other books which are similar to this in genre, for example, the Hunger Games Trilogy). The hero comes from a distant planet which has been wiped out by Mogadorians. The hero is one of nine survivors along with their guardians. He is waiting to develop "legacies" (gifts/supernatural powers) which will help him defeat the Mogadorians. "Number Four" aka John Smith, goes to an ordinary American high school and duly develops the power to resist fire/run very fast etc. The action scenes are well-written and easy to visualise - I felt like I was watching a film in my mind whilst reading it (I think it might have been made into a film and can see that it would make a great action flick). Other than that, there's nothing here that you haven't read before about teenagers developing supernatural powers in order to save us all (and if that's the future, we really are in trouble). The most striking thing about this book, I felt, was that the author "Pittacus Lore" puts himself in it in a cameo role as the most gifted elder of the Planet Lorien. This struck me as a really odd thing to do. I didn't know what to make of it really; but the conclusions I drew were not flattering to the author. Also, I really don't like the way that no book for young adults can be written without a string of sequels these days. Original ideas for your next book please.

Lacking Emotional Connection

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2012

Verified Purchase

I loved the fact this book was action packed from the word go. There is nothing worse than having to read 200 pages before the story actually gets going and good; I can assure you this is not a problem here.With so much action, it is not really surprising this book has a strong male following and made it to the big screen. I also enjoyed how it makes you paranoid. I actually dreamed of aliens while reading it!!!

Is this an original idea? Hardly. But the characters are good and the plot is really interesting. It is also nice to read the story from a male point of view. However, I found myself drifting and wanting to jump pages. I thought, maybe, it was because I was so taken by the last book I read and still had the story on my mind, but then I came across Novel Novice's review in Goodreads and I could not agree more. Reading this book does feel more like reading a script than reading a prose and you do wonder if the book was based on the script rather than the other way around.

What was fundamentally off for me was the lack of emotions. I am one of those annoying people who likes to feel what happens in what I am reading as if it was happening to me. I like to laugh, cheer, cry, get angry and heart-broken with a story, and even though this book has moments where I should be able to do exactly that, it just did not happen. The way it is written is so straight forward and to the point that I didn't have time to feel upset or happy about anything.

If you are a fan a romance, you will also notice how quickly he gets his girl. We all know the best part of a relationship is the chase and in I'm Number Four he not only does not chase much but Sarah, his love interest, is the one that comes to him. And it also happens within the first quarter of the book.

In short, while it is a good plot and I looked forward to seeing it on the big screen, I will not be reading it again. Having said that, I am curious to read the second book of this series: The Power of Six as there were a lot of questions left unanswered such as: why do the Mogadorians - the evil aliens - care if nine Lorics escaped? Why would they care if they went back to repopulate the planet as it sounds as though the Mogadorians themselves are no longer there and the planet is desolate? I will have to wait and see.
