I am currently reading I am number Four. There have been lots of twists and turns since I last posted. Our main character's fake name is John Smith. Yes, John Smith the most ordinary name one could think of. John's successor or father figure goes by Henri. Henri is very persistent on telling John to fit in. John hasn't been doing a great job of fitting lately. He's the new kid in school and has already managed to get in a fight with the most popular kid in school. Remember John is being chased by things that are trying to kill him and the rest of his kind. So John has to try to fit in and not leave a scent for Mogadorians. The Mogadorians are the things that are tracking John down and trying to execute him.
      John has made a friend in school his name is Sam. He is picked on a lot and doesn't have a very good home life. His dad went missing when Sam was a young boy. His Dad believed that aliens would come to earth. Little did Sam know his Dad was right, aliens did come to earth and he was in the midst of one, John. The aliens were John and his people. Sam grew up all his life thinking his Dad was crazy.

     One prediction I am make in the future of this book is I think that Sam will find out that John is an Alien. And John and Sam will go looking for his Father because he went missing for a reason, He didn't just leave Sam. Also I think that John will fall in love with a girl name Sarah. Sarah and John have been hanging out a lot lately. Sarah is the reason why John got into a fight with the popular guy in school. Mark (The popular jock in school) saw Sarah and John getting close and he got very jealous. which lead to the fight.

     "But today was different. There was something very satisfying about being pushed by somebody and responding by pushing back."(Lore 53) This quote is very significant to the story. It is significant because this shows that the main character will put himself out there and be noticed. This is a huge risk. The things that are tracking him down will be able to find him easier. If he chooses not to retaliate he will be taking the safer route of which his successor would like him to do.
     The best thing about I Am Number Four is it shows life of someone being different. The main character is very different. He is not human and he moves around from school to school every six months or so. That is very different from my life. I have stayed in Mason all of my life, and yes I am a human not a superhero like the main character. That is what interests me about most books. The author does a great job of conveying a mood that You know the characters in the story and like your living his life too.
     The main character is short, but stocking. He is very strong due to his super ability. The only other character who is in the book most of the time, he is the main characters " father figure." He protects the main character, takes care of him, and gives him advice just like a parent would. These two characters don't have names that stay constant. Since they are always moving their names change too.
