I am Number Four by Pittacus Lore expresses the importance of never giving up hope no matter how grim the situation may seem. John and Henri settle down in Paradise Ohio, hiding from an alien race called the mogadorians. Henri travels to Athens, Ohio, to find out more about Sam’s magazine. John and Sam save Henri and learn the mogadorians are closer than ever. The mogadorians find Henri, John, Number Six, Matt, Sarah and Bernie Kosar at the school and a battle commences. During the battle Henri sacrifices himself, letting the rest escape.
While a good book I am Number Four had a few flaws. The first flaw it had was the plot. It was probably the most typical, predictable, worn-out plot in a book I have ever read: John is a teenage boy with special powers who has to blend in with normal people. John falls in love with a gorgeous girl named Sarah, who plays the damsel in distress and is completely reliant on John. He makes enemies with Matt, who just so happens to be Sarah’s ex-boyfriend, and the captain of the football team. This plot line has been used in countless movies and books, and never to too much acclaim. If it were not for the aliens and battle scenes I am Number Four could easily be the script for a high-school romance drama show, which brings us to the book’s next issue. The next flaw with the book is the romance between John and Sarah. By the end of the book they have only known each other for six months, and yet they are completely in love with each other. They seem to fall in love straight away and spend the rest of the book exchanging cheesy lines about how much they mean to each other. I also did not understand how Sarah was so ready and eager to believe John when he told her he was an alien. I don’t believe any...

...nconsistencies and some of the characters, I recommend you read I am Number Four. I would not recommend this book to anybody who wants a complex plot with tons of interesting characters, as this book is a quick read with a rather predictable plot. I think the age group most suited for this book would be anybody between the ages nine and thirteen, as the book contains no graphic scenes, is easy to read, and is full of action. Overall I would give this book a solid six out of ten. I give it the six marks because it was full of action, mostly well-written, and the lore behind the planet Lorien was very interesting. I took away four marks because of the mostly dull characters, worn-out plot, and the several inconsistencies that plagued the book. Overall I thought I am Number Four was an alright book and if you are into action books you will like it even more than I did.
This book has great balances of love interests, actions, and internal conflict with characters. It has an interesting story so far with new pieces coming up every few chapters that are very important. Like Al attacking Tris, Eric talking about Divergents and how the rebels must be eliminated. Tris and Four are developing feelings for each other, which I find weird because he is basically her teacher. They are only two years apart, so the relationship is not that awkward. In this journal I will be predicting, evaluating, and questioning.
Fans of the novel found that the way the novel is written, you never want to put it down and the action keeps things moving and is quite entertaining. The novel pulls you in and makes you love each of the main characters in it. This is a great series for anyone to read, and it is audience friendly for whoever reads them. There is quite a bit of suspense that will make the novel exceed readers 's expectations, and the twists and turns keeps you guessing and lets nothing be predictable. Some like the way this group of people bands together when they really need to and keep things together so they can all stop the
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...
In my eyes I loved the book I rate it a 9/10, its had a good twist and turn to it. I loved this
In conclusion, I would highly recommend this book to early teens who are fans of drama and comedy because they could probably relate to most of the issues discussed to a certain extent. Girls my age, especially, would enjoy this book as they could relate to the issues discussed and they have probably already experienced similar
I would recommend this book to a certain type of person that I am not. This book would be great for someone who wants to learn more about the fishes that most commonly end up on their plate. If someone was interested in in the future of the oceans and the last wild food, this book would be great for them. While I did not enjoy the book I still give it three stars out of five due to being full of good information to those that want it.
I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys historical fiction books where the characters learn life-altering lessons. I also feel that people of all ages would enjoy this book because it’s messages and theme was very positive. While I did enjoy this book, I think I will not be reading another historical fiction novel for my upcoming book response.
I found several events interesting one being that many captives were captured more than once, talk about karma. Another being how attached the Indians where to their captives “the Indians would rather cut out their hearts than part with their adoptive captives.” And the last thing is how old Eunice and Stephen live to be. I found this story to be good. It wasn’t captivating. Over all I give this book 6 out of 10, due to the difficulty of understanding of the authors’ theme. and the lack of consistency throughout the book.
My overall opinion of this book is good I really liked it and recommend it to anyone. It is a good book to read and it keep you interested throughout the whole book.
I really enjoyed this book because it was not a story about the middle of the Second World War. Instead it was right before, when things were not as bad, but they were bad enough. It helped me understand how people lived before the hatred grew and how families were torn apart right from the beginning. Likewise, it gave me hope to see that not everything was destroyed and that some people were able to escape. I would recommend this book more for boys but for girls as well, between the ages of 13-15. Even though Karl’s age throughout the book is 14-17, the novel was written more for my age group. Once again this was an amazing book that I could not put down, and I am sure many others were not able to either.
Between bearing the burdenful duty of restoring their planet, protecting Earth, being marked for death, and preventing a superiorly developed alien enemy from galactic takeover, Pittacus Lore’s series The Lorien Legacies places extreme expectations on its young protagonists. As the last surviving members of their species, the seven Loric children struggle to incorporate their destinies as the saviours of their planet, Lorien, with their current states of being lost, inexperienced, afraid, and alone. The Loric have only themselves and a few human allies to depend on, but this little comfort has profound effects on their development. Number Six, one of remaining Loric, transforms from a war machine living solely from a revenge to a more human character with emotions and dreams as a result of the increasingly personal relationships she forms with both her kind and her human supporters. In each of the latest three installments of the series, The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine, and The Fall of Five, she makes another step from viewing her life as a job to enjoying being alive.
Escaping poverty was one of the themes of “A Raisin in the Sun.” The family’s chance of escape becomes a reality when a $10,000 check arrives in the mail. Everyone is wanting to spend their money for their own dream, each with their own way of escaping poverty. Walter believes that investing all the money into the liquor store will put the family higher in the ranks while earning them more income, therefore they would no longer be poverty-stricken. He believes money is everything and wants his family to have the best. This can be seen when he tells his son, “[without even looking at his son, still staring hard at his wife] In fact, here’s another fifty cents…Buy yourself some fruit today – or take a taxicab to school or something!” (pg 1.1.59).
I would give this book a four point five out of five stars because I really liked the book as a whole, but when it came to the wording of same characters I wasn’t comfortable with how explicit it was. I enjoyed how the author used descriptive words to show what it was like in those times, it really made me think about the story.I
8.Recommendation: I wouldn’t recommend this book for anyone to read because it’s quite boring and very confusing in some parts of the story. Well it’s confusing to me and it’s like the most weirdest book I have ever read. Someone who likes to read novels or read in general would like this book because or if they like this genre they would like this
series for two reasons. The first reason is because it ties up all the questions I had from the other books. This book really was a good ending, for me at least. And the second reason is because it’s just a great book. It has mystery, suspense, humor, action and many more things that keep you from putting the book down. On a scale of one to ten I would rate this ten and it is also my number one favorite book (so far).
