I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

3.0

I wish I felt better about this book than I did, but honestly I'm happy to be able to check it off my list and move on. The story wasn't extraordinarily original, the characters were rather run of the mill and the writing left something to be desired. A few of the action sequences were well done and I got caught up in the moment, but the final battle scene seemed to drag on forever with everything being predictable and the villains all being creatures we've never seen before this moment. One of the big revelations at the end was so obvious, you just felt silly for John that he didn't figure it out way earlier. I'm going to have a hard time convincing myself to read the next book in the series. I do hope the movie is better.
