About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I honestly believe no teenager would be such an idiot with his life at stake. That is what shocked me in this book, too much idiotic behaviour from the main character. I may be wrong, and people may be able to behave like that, but it made me feel like I was losing my time with every chapter that I kept going. Then, I researched the whole series in the Internet, and my opinion didn't improve. I think I won't be reading any more of the books in these series.

This was a terrible book with some of the worst descriptions ever written. The relationships were unappealing and the chemistry between the characters was bad. Overall, this book made me aghast and horrified at how terribly bad writing can be.

When I first read this book I loved it but truthfully it's the worst out the series. So with that being said if you liked this one you NEED to keep getting the books in this series it just get better and better. Every single time I come to an end of a book I wish I am literally ANGRY if the next book isn't out. LOVE LOVE LOVE this series.
