I am Number Four revolves around nine children and their caretakers who have escaped their home planet, Lorien, after an invasion by the Mogadorians. One by one, the Mogadorians plan to kill them all in numerical order. One, Two, and Three are dead, Four (John) is next.

This was my second time reading this book. I loved it the first time, and this time, I loved it too (but maybe a little less). When I first read IANF, I still loved instalove and how awesome Four/John was. Now, the instalove is not my favorite. There is a lot of emphasis on how beautiful Sarah is and how much John is in love with her. I understand that John is genetically wired to love one person, but it seems really forced. Not only that, but I don't like how Four decided to call himself John Smith. I understand why a generic name would be favorable, but why a name that is already engrained in mass media? Despite all of this, I still love the book and I will continue to reread this series.
