I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

                                              🌟🌟🌟1/2 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Synopsis:
Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books--but we are real.

Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. We have lived among you without you knowing.

But they know.

They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They killed them all.

I am Number Four.

I am next.

There were two things that really bothered me about this book. I HATED the romance aspect of this story! It was unnecessary and I wanted the book to focus fully on Four, his past, and the changes/ battles he was going to face. I am so sick of reading books where one character is "different" and they fall in love with a human. It's been done. It's in the past. If you are going to put that in a book at least make it good. I didn't feel the chemistry between the characters and it was too soon for them to feel so strongly for each other. Why did the author have to put this relationship in the book. This book would have been so much better if it had been taken out. It made Four a lovesick, annoying character! He stopped thinking rationally about his decisions he had to make because of that stupid girl! That leads me to my next point. I know that he was a teenager but come on! He knows what he is and why he has to keep running for his life! Why is he trying to get himself and everybody else killed by making immature decisions?!?

This book would have been amazing I'd those things could gave been cut out.
I lived the action sequences! They were amazing! I enjoyed learning about Four's past and more about his home planet. The book was incredibly good but got bogged down by the puppy love nonsense and teenage rebellion!
