I Am Number Four Audiobook Summary

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.

I was quite pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! I've heard a lot of hype surrounding it and so I was a little hesitant going in but from page one I was completely drawn in and didn't want to put it down! I absolutely adore everything about the concept. From the Legacies to the Loric to the Chest and everything in between, it's just all so interesting and absolutely captivating! I wanted to dive into this world and completely immerse myself in it! I also really loved the characters, they really are all amazing! But Sam definitely holds a special place in my heart. From the moment we met him and his belief in aliens, I was instantly in love with him! He's the quirky sidekick that you can't help but fall for! I honestly can't think of one thing I disliked about this book, it was just that good! It had fantastic characters, phenomenal world building AND was crazy action packed with all kinds of twists and turns that left me itching to start the next book!

“When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.” Second reread: This book would deserve 3.5 stars really.I Am Number Four really isn't the great book. It's a typical YA cliché that leaves you with more questions than answers.But it is the saga that got me back into the world of books and it was my first long-ass saga to read. I mean, I read all seven main books and all 32398739487 novellas. It doesn't have the wonderful, perfect writing, but it was one of the first English books I read and made an effort to read.Its characters are a bit weak and flat really, even the plot -I always thought it was a good plot, only the first book doesn't develop it very well-, and even the dialogues or some scenes are quite cliché and repetitive, tiring for a science fiction book. But to this saga especially I have a tremendous affection, so much so that it is my all-time favorite saga.This saga has more sentimental value to me than anything else. I was drowning in a cup of water when I first read I Am Number Four, and in a way, it helped me. I devoured these books very quickly and loved them like nothing else. In this book precisely things are very premature, and it is in the next books that you get to know the rest of the characters, everything they can do and many more things.However, I am in love with this saga (not necessarily with this first book), with its characters and everything they go through, the journeys of their lives and how it all ends.This saga is my "i'd marry you with paper rings", yup

I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies #1), Pittacus LoreI Am Number Four is a young adult science fiction novel by Pittacus Lore (the pseudonym of James Frey and Jobie Hughes) and the first book in the Lorien Legacies series. The book was published by HarperCollins on August 3, 2010. The story centers on the conflict between two extraterrestrial species: the Loric and the Mogadorians. The Loric are classified into two factions: the overseers known as the Cepân and the guardians known as the Garde, the latter of whom possess unique abilities known as Legacies. The story opens with a prelude that follows Hannu - the alias used by Number Three, one of nine Garde children hiding on Earth after their home-world of Lorien was invaded - residing in Kenya where he is killed by Mogadorian assassins under the command of General Andrakkus Sutekh. Most of the book is told in the first person by Number Four, who takes the name John Smith. As the story begins, he and his guardian or Cepân, Henri, learn of the death of Number Three and move to Paradise, Ohio, assuming new identities aka John Smith. There, John befriends conspiracy theorist Sam Goode and "adopts" a dog identified by its name tag as "Bernie Kosar". He also meets and is attracted to a fellow student, Sarah Hart, who is working as a photographer. Sarah's ex-boyfriend, football player Mark James, is a bully who torments both John and Sam. ...تاریخ نخستین خوانش: روز بیست و ششم ماه ژوئن سال 2014 میلادیکتاب «من شماره چهار هستم»، اثری از تیم دونفره ی: «جیمز فری»، و «جابی هیوز» است، که نخستین بار در سال 2010 میلادی توسط انتشارات «هارپرکالینز» منتشر شد. براساس این کتاب، فیلمی با همین عنوان، به تهیه کنندگی: «استیون اسپیلبرگ»، و به کارگردانی: «دی.جی کاروسو» ساخته شده است، در این فیلم بازیگرانی، همچون: «تیموتی الیفنت»،‌‌ «دیانا آرگون»، و «جیک آیبل»، و ... بازی کرده‌ اند. داستان این کتاب نوجوانانه را، تیم دو نفره ی: «جیمز فری»، و «جابی هیوز» نوشته‌ اند، و حال و هوایی اکشن دارد، خط اصلی داستان درباره ی یک گروه «نه نفره»، از موجودات بیگانه ی فضایی است، که مجبور به فرار، از سیاره ی بسیار دور خود می‌شوند، و سر از زمین درمی‌آورند. آنها زمانی تصمیم به فرار می‌گیرند، که گروهی از موجودات رقیب، به سیاره آنها یورش، و آنرا اشغال می‌کنند. این «نه9 موجود فضایی» که در روی زمین پنهان شده‌ اند، خود را به شکل «نه دانش‌آموز دبیرستانی» درمی‌آورند، اما زندگی آنها روی کره ی زمین، با آرامش همراه نیست. «موجودات فضایی رقیب» که متوجه فرار آنها به کره زمین شده‌ اند، راهی زمین می‌شوند، تا آنها را پیدا کرده، و دوباره به سیاره ی خود برگردانند. کتاب جلد نخست از یک سری کتاب شش جلدی است. ا. شربیانی

I cannot believe I waited so long to start this series! I am going to go get the others at the library throughout the next few weeks. This is a very fascinating plot and the characters are so likeable!

This book is an entertaining and easy read. It reminds you of Superman plus X-men which means this book contains a really cool story with really cool characters. The story begins so intensely, it grabbed my focus immediately. Its movie adaptation is good enough, though not as good as the book. I wonder when the movie sequels will come.

This book has one of the best blurbs I've seen. I was immediately hooked. Such a cool premise. The book itself moves fast. The action is great. The father-son relationship is good. I liked the romance. 4 stars. Enjoy!

Loved it – can’t wait for the sequel.Ok, so I have to admit - I saw the trailer for the movie adaptation of this book when I went to watch Harry Potter 7 Part 1. Aaaaand it caught me, especially the teenage-superhero-awesome-powers and murder-with-more-to-come factors. But also because Four is played by this guy.Yep, it’s Alex Pettyfer.But onto the book.If you like the first several Harry Potter’s, then you’d be able to appreciate this one, even if you’re too old to be part of the young-adult age group.I loved the characters. Especially the Loriens. Four was both exceptional and acting like a normal, hormone-driven teenager. And Six – I have to say, she catches the admiration more even than our main hero. I loved Sam – geeky, yet smart, shy but also brave. It was a refreshing combo. Also refreshing was Mark, who turned from a brainless bully to a serious, battle-proven ally by the end.The thing that was strange for me was the fact I didn’t really like Sarah – the girl Four, a.k.a John Smith, was paired up with. There was something not quite right with her, she didn’t match him well somehow. And usually, I’m all about the romance with the first love lasting to the end.This time, I hope Four would end up with someone else.Still, I especially enjoyed the part of the dog / alien-shapeshifter-pet, and the action was pretty good. I loved the background, the well-developed backstory of the Loriens.And the author’s pseudonym being thrown into the story was cool.So, I’ll definitely be impatient for the movie and its more violent take on the plot, but I’d also be impatient for the second book to come out – there are a number of hinted mysteries that remained so by the end of the first and I want to know how those would develop.

This Captivated me right from the first page and didn't disappoint at any time. I was a bit slow to read this series, but I am so glad I did. Exciting and unusual, this third instalment brings most of the major players together for some great fight scenes and some genuinely touching scenes too. I would recommend this book to most fantasy lovers and most people 12-up.This book is up their in my top 100 books.
