About this listen
They killed Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
John Smith is not your average teenager.
He regularly moves from small town to small town. He changes his name and identity. He does not put down roots. He cannot tell anyone who or what he really is. If he stops moving those who hunt him will find and kill him.
But you can't run forever.
So when he stops in Paradise, Ohio, John decides to try and settle down. To fit in. And for the first time he makes some real friends. People he cares about - and who care about him. Never in John's short life has there been space for friendship, or even love.
But it's just a matter of time before John's secret is revealed.
He was once one of nine. Three of them have been killed.
John is Number Four. He knows that he is next . . .
Praise for Pittacus Lore:
'Tense, exciting, full of energy' Observer
'Relentlessly readable' The Times
'Set to eclipse Harry Potter and moody vampires. Pittacus Lore is about to become one of the hottest names on the planet' Big Issue
'Tense, keeps you wondering' Sunday Times
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games - I Am Number Four is the first book in Pittacus Lore's Lorien Legacies series and is now a major Disney film.
Second - it's only 1st of 6 books (so don't expect any definite end)
When reading the book I couldn't help thinking it's a funny mix of ideas I'd already read before (LotR, HP).
If you keep in mind the intended audience then the predictable plot, the 'seen it before' ideas, the black and white world are easier to accept. But if you expect twists and double-depth characters you might be better off skipping this book altogether.
What is unacceptable is the 'romance' bit. And that's in both form and quantity.
This is where the 'teenage' character of the book really stands out. Sickly exchanges, cheesy cliches and too much kissing for my liking. But then again - what do I know.
Altogether - not a complete waste of time but I'm not yet sure if I can take five more books.

As for the story... I think this book has a good story line but there are quite a few things that don't really make sense, or at least I kept on thinking: oh my gosh what is he doing! Maybe the author didn't know how else to make the book exciting without making the characters do stupid things. This seems to be common in YA books, maybe all teenagers do stupid things and I have just forgotten.
The narrator was alright, he didn't do female voices very well.
It's an easy listen though, and I will continue with this series.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
