i liked the plot, but not a fan of the action (i never am). normally in these sort of books the romance balances it out, but the romance is extremely underdeveloped in this book. also the writing just felt stilted at times and the story didn't flow as it is should.

I'd give this start to the Lorien Legacies a solid 4.5. Really enjoyed the storyline and found myself not wanting to put this book down (which in my mind is a great indication of how good a book really is!)
The only aspects that I wasn't so keen on are as follows:
~The arrival of Number Six seemed a little to fortuitous and abrupt. Just the perfect plot device to further the story?
~The relationship between John and Sara seemed a little too perfect. Are you telling me she had no doubts when he told her he was from a different planet?
~All the other humans from Paradise who find out the truth about Henri and John are just a little too trusting. They, too, had no doubts and didn't think they were crazy?
Still, extremely enjoyable and I cannot wait to see the movie when it releases!

Entertaining and interesting premise. I plan on reading more of this series.
I alternated between the ebook and audiobook. The narrator was a bit rough for me on the voices/accents, but it wasn't too distracting after a few minutes.

Really liked it, I'm gonna finish the saga for sure. The relationship between everyone was just lovable, warm and uncomplicated without any weird unnecessary drama and I really appreciated that they just cared for each other earnestly. The plot is actually quite simple with a bit of mysteries about what happened the day of the invasion but not much else, just the good guys vs the bad ones

I am number four is a hood book. It defiantly different from how they made it in the movie. It's sad to watch the I am Number four's movie. It's like your angry that it's so wrong. *sigh*. Still don't be fooled from the movie, read the book kt's amazing.

I haven’t read a sci fi book since January. This one was amazing! I love how the author and book try to convince you it is real! I have never seen that before. During the whole book i was wondering if there was a spy among the main group, but i was proven wrong. The only part in the book that freaked me out a little was when Sam pulled the gun on Four, and when Four and Sam confronted the guys in Athens. Henri dying was a shock to me, but i felt like he wouldn’t make it throughout the book anyway. I saw the dog being Hadley a mile away, i was still very excited when Four found out. The house fire was, unpredictable and insane to say the least, it really caught me off guard! It was a great book overall though. Thank you for whoever will read my awful reviews btw!
