But for John, keeping a low profile is essential, because he is not an ordinary teenager. He’s an alien from the planet Lorien, and he’s on the run. A group of evil aliens from the planet Mogadore, who destroyed his world, are hunting anyone who escaped. Nine Loric children were sent to Earth to live in hiding until they grew up and developed their Legacies, powers that would help them fight back—and help them save us. Three of them are now dead.

"I read it because of the movie, and I’m not disappointed. I’ve got the others and I’m excited to read more😁"

"Very fun read. You will want to read the whole set."

"Well worth getting. It’s a young adult book funny enough but I found it in a used book store, read the first three books in about a month. Love it "

"This book was good, but the hype around it led me to be disappointed by the contents. It was less mature than I expected. I wasn’t really invested in the high school drama. Expected the other-worldly to be a bigger part "

"Today is April 13, 2012 and it is currently 1:20 AM. Two days ago (On the 10th) I was thinking <i>When will I read another 5 star book.</i> I had high hopes for the [b:Leviathan|6050678|Leviathan (Leviathan, #1)|Scott Westerfeld|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275694232s/6050678.jpg|6226342] series, but even book three got only a, 4 stars. I even looked at my 5 star shelf to see when I last gave a 5 star rating. I found that I hadn't given one since October. Well that has changed, I Am Number Four gets 5 stars, the sixth 5 star rating I have ever given. The book was amazing, exciting even when there was no action. <b>I loved this book.</b>"

"Great book that I've read years ago. It needed a re-read. Gonna have to re-read the whole series :)"

"This is exactly what you would expect from a young adult from the 2010s. I am a simp for that era and genre. It was a little insta-lovey for my tastes but it has a good plot, healthy friendships, and a premise that makes you want to go onto the next one. 3.5 stars for me strictly because of the insta-love. It is a trope that i have a hard time getting around. "

"This book is good. The lore behind it is explained easily and its easy to get sucked in. It's a great YA novel."
