After hearing about all the hype surrounding the book series I Am Number Four and the movie that came out last year, I finally decided to read this book and see what it's all about. After the intensity of books such as the Hunger Games and Divergent, this story settled into a bit slower pace. Although I find the book a bit slower, it is still just as good, and it is (so far) living up to its recommendations.
I admit, I am not normally one to find crazy science fiction topics interesting, so when I first began reading about other planets and so-called aliens, I was skeptical and wasn't immediately convinced into loving the book. The depiction of the aliens as human-like beings definitely warmed me to the story though, and I soon found myself interested in the unknown. The author does a nice job of mixing everyday teenage issues such as school and love with science fictional concepts. Because it mixes the genres, my attention is held, and I am continuing to read on in an effort to discover how the universal battle between good and evil species will play out, along with how the simple love story will occur between a teenage boy and girl.
