The Power of Six
by Pittacus Lore
We got to learn more about Six. However, I have to say I read the "mini book" first, just to get myself super excited and I was. It left me hungering for more. So, I sit down and DEVOUR this book. It was good but I kept having to tell myself-teen angst....teen angst....because after awhile Four becomes annoying but he is a teenager with conflicting feelings. We learn about how our trio lives together and trains for the inevitable. We also learn about another Number in Spain. If you read a little of the preview from the re-edited Number Four, you would have read maybe the first chapter or two. So, if I read it super fast, why just 3 stars? Well for one, they start mentioning the aliens by specific names and I got confused. It started morphing into a science fiction book and I really don't like to keep flow charts when I'm reading. Two, these books seem to follow a trend-reel you in, lead up to a gigantic (and I mean gigantic) fight scene, then end abruptly-almost like those super short movies when Superman is about to save Lois Lane but you have to come back next week. And finally, the ending-it became so mixed up for me and I was so angry about the things the author did-the battles were drawn out, other Numbers start to appear and as they do, they realize they have powers, characters just disappear without explanation. I guess I wanted a bit more but they have to leave something for the sequel.
So, I didn't give much away but I will say it was a super fast read (read it in a week) and it was good. Was it worth the wait? Yes and no-I learned more about Six, not so much more about Four, we learned about the significance of the chests and how different Loriens believe in different things. Overall, good read.
