"I am Number Four" is a sci-fi thriller that is suspenseful and action-packed. It tells the story of "Number Four," who is an alien from a planet that has been destroyed. When his home planet was almost destroyed, he was sent to Earth with others. There were the ones who would develop powers, and the ones who would guide and help raise the ones with powers. The beings that would develop powers were blessed with an enchantment. When the beings were separated from each other and nowhere near each other, the villains wouldn't be able to kill them, unless the beings were killed in order. The main character in this book is "Number Four." He has been on the run for as long as he can remember, constantly moving. Three of the beings were killed. He was "Number Four." In this novel, Number Four is faced with whole new concepts, as he tries to stay alive and away from the villains who wanted to kill him, tries to learn how to use his new powers successfully, and tries his best not to allow a girl to distract him, with no such luck, of course. It really is a great book, and that's a lot from me, since I typically am not a fan of science fiction novels.

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.

So good. Read it in a day! highly recommendable!
The Book I am Number Four is an amazing book I ever read in the Lorien Legacies
I am number four goes along with the movie for the most part. Although the Movie came out before the book did the movie this time was better then the book. The movie had much more action then the book presented it to be.
OMG! Read this book it is soooooooo good! Even though The Hunger Games gets much more attention, trust me this is better, as much as I obsess over the wonderful works of Suzanne Collins! This is o-mazing! I can't believe I'm the first person to have reviewed this book! LOvE it! It is just so cool so amazing I mean like WOW! I am NUMBER FOUR!
This book is so so good! I finished it last night. It is adventurous. sci-fi and also very sad :( I want to see a movie of it!
This book is like soo so so so so so so so so so sos osso good and theres a second one.
This is my favorite series ever. It is a lot better than the movie, but the movie still went mostly like the book. It is about aliens from another planet that look just like humans but have come here to save their dying race.
Just starting this book, but if its anything like the movie i'm sure it going to be great. The movie was absolutely riveting and exciting, full of unexpected plots and twists; and action packed. So far, in the book its even better than the movie because i got much more of the background story
Why is this book so popular in our class ?
