I Am Number Four

Rating: 3.5/5 stars
Rounded down to 3 stars

Summary: 9 young children and their guardians escape their planet as their civilization is being destroyed by another alien race. They come to Earth and must live long enough to develop their legacies, or their powers, which will allow them to fight back against those that slaughtered so many.

This book isn't anything groundbreaking. It's a YA science fiction book written for entertainment first and foremost. Is it the best book ever written? No. I'm sure there are many others that accomplish this same thing in a much better way. However, this one is entertaining, fast-paced, and ultimately a quick read. I liked Sam Goode and his friendship with John.
