I Am Number Four of Pittacus Lore expresses the importance of never losing hope, no matter how bleak the situation may seem. John and Henry settle in Paradise Ohio, hiding from an alien race called the Mogadorians. Henry travels to Athens, Ohio, to learn more about Sam's magazine. John and Sam rescue Henry and learn that the Mogadorians are closer than ever. The Mogadorians find Henri, John, Number Six, Matt, Sarah and Bernie Kosar at school and a battle begins. During the battle, Henry sacrifices himself, letting the others escape. Although a good book, I Am Number Four, had some flaws. The first flaw of the film was the plot. It was probably the most typical, predictable, hackneyed plot of a book I've ever read: John is a teenager with special powers who has to blend in with the crowd of normal people. John falls in love with a beautiful girl named Sarah, who plays the damsel in distress and is completely dependent on John. He makes enemies with Matt, who happens to be Sarah's ex-boyfriend and the captain of the football team. This plot has been used in countless films and books, and has never been overly acclaimed. If it weren't for the aliens and the battle scenes, I Am Number Four could easily be the plot for a high school romantic drama series, which brings us to the next issue of the book. The next flaw in the book is the romance between John and Sarah. At the end of the book, they have only known each other for six months and yet they are completely in love with each other. They seem to fall in love right away and spend the rest of the book exchanging cheesy one-liners about how much they mean to each other. I also didn't understand why Sarah was so ready and willing to believe John when he told her he was an alien. I don't believe in any...... middle of paper ......inconsistencies and some characters, I recommend you read I Am Number Four. I would not recommend this book to anyone who wants a complex plot with tons of interesting characters, as this book is a quick read with a rather predictable plot. I think the most suitable age range for this book would be anyone between the ages of nine and thirteen, as the book contains no graphic scenes, is easy to read, and is action-packed. Overall, I would give this book a solid six out of ten. I give it six points because it was action-packed, mostly well-written, and the story behind the planet Lorien was very interesting. I took away four points because of the mostly boring characters, the exhausted plot, and the many inconsistencies that plagued the book. Overall I thought I Am Number Four was a good book and if you like action books you will like it even more than I did..
