I can clearly see the Mogadorians soldiers with their translucent skin and empty black eyes. I can imagine the lush, green, alive Lorien bursting with colours, and then turning into a barren wasteland. The alien planets that Pittacus Lore creates are described in detail. I Am Number Four is a great science fiction novel. Its such an incredible thought thinking that there are all those planets, galaxies and solar systems out there and that maybe there are other life forms living on one of those planets. Quite a few of my close bloggy buddies know that I want to be an astronomer when I'm older, and I suppose reading about these alien planets, and their atmospheres and what *might* be happening in space, fascinates me. I've never really been interested in those type of books but I think since reading I Am Number Four, I might just have found my new favourite genre. I am now officially a science fiction fan. I really underestimated I Am Number Four and boy, did it prove me wrong! If there was ever a book I thought I would dislike but loved, it would be this one. There was the heart-break of loss, the unfairness, the bitterness, the pain.I Am Number Four will have you sitting intensely on the edge of your seat, your eyes riveted to the book as you watch Four's fight of survival, and then just when you think everything is going to be a-okay, you're faced with another problem, or a heart-breaking discovery. This book produced a bucket load of emotions that raged inside me. I was just expecting this high action and adventure sci-fi novel that wouldn't hold any depth to it, I was so incredibly wrong.

Why am I going against my personal policy, you may ask? Because I needed to collect my thoughts, try and be calm, try to stop crying after that HEART-BREAKING ENDING! When I started I Am Number Four I really didn't know what to expect I hadn't watched the movie, but I'd heard the book was quite good. I'm writing this review a day after reading the book, going against my personal policy to review a book straight after I've read it.

We have lived among you without you knowing. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. But they found us and started hunting us first.

Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books-but we are real. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. Title: I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies #1) Author: Pittacus Lore
