I am number 4 was an exciting and thrilling tale of a teenage Martian who's planet has been destroyed by the ruthless Mogadorians. This was a story of unbreakable bonds of love between two different species of people, an alien and a human. There is something different about this story though; it is not a soppy love story. This story is a game of cat and mouse, the cat being the Mogadorians, infinitely stronger and well equipped with deadly weapons. The mouse being the #4 and his guide Henri. The mouse being weak but very agile, the mouse can do nothing but run. This was true until #4's legacies developed. Legacies are the super powers these Aliens develop when they mature. These Legacies are beginning to develop in #4; just in time without these he and most probably the earth would have been killed. In short this book was thrilling, punchy and different perspective about a very controversial subject, aliens.
