Publisher Description
The first book of the #1 New York Times bestselling series and the inspiration for the hit movie from Dreamworks!
John Smith seems like an ordinary teenager, living a normal life with his guardian Henri in Paradise, Ohio. 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. John is Number Four, and he knows he’s next….
Michael Bay, director of Transformers, raved: “Number Four is a hero for this generation.” This epic story is perfect for fans of action-packed science fiction like The 5th Wave series by Rick Yancey, The Maze Runner series by James Dashner, and Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game.
The battle for Earth’s survival wages on. Read all of the books: #2: The Power of Six, #3: The Rise of Nine, #4: The Fall of Five, #5: The Revenge of Seven, #6: The Fate of Ten, and #7: United as One.
Don’t miss the first book in the brand-new I Am Number Four spin-off series: Generation One.

Wow
This is a killer book
Strange and could be better
The voices don’t suit the characters. Henri’s voice is supposed to sound French but he sounds Russian and he sounds more malicious than he’s supposed to be. Also, John sounds more innocent and childlike than he is. Don’t like that at all. And the emphasis on certain words? It was good in the prologue; it kept the suspense and kept me interested. But as the story went on, I quickly noticed that it emphasized too many words for no real purpose at all. Sarah, Sam, Mr. Harris, and Mark’s voice sounds stupid and don’t feel like their characters at all. It’s almost like they made a joke out of it and didn’t take them seriously. In fact, I can’t take any of this audiobook seriously because I know that these characters are not at all them. I’ve personally read the book myself so I have a feel for the how the characters act, feel, and think. Overall, very disappointed with what they did to the voices in the book.
