    About this audiobook

    The fifth book of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series!

    The Garde have suffered an unbearable loss. Number Five has betrayed them. Eight is gone forever. Ella has been kidnapped. The others are now scattered.

    In Chicago, John makes the unlikeliest of allies: a Mogadorian named Adam, who has switched sides. Adam knows the Mogs secrets, and he knows where to hit them: their command base near Washington, DC. But during the assault, John learns he and the Garde might be too late. The Mogadorians have commenced their ultimate invasion plans.

    Meanwhile, Six, Nine, and Marina make their way through the Florida Everglades, hot on the trail of the traitorous Five. With the development of a new Legacy, Marina finally has the power to fight back—if her thirst for revenge doesn't consume her first. The Garde may be broken and divided once more, but they will not be defeated. As long as one still stands, the battle for Earth's survival is not lost.

    Michael Bay, director of Transformers, raved: “Number Four is a hero for this generation.” This epic young adult series is perfect for fans of action-packed science fiction like The Fifth 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 the rest of the series: #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.

      Really enjoyed this book. Plan to read again. Very good
    • 5/5
      What a fun read - great adventure story with high appeal for those who like their story to move along quickly.
    • 2/5
      Maybe my mistake was to see the movie first. But in general, books are better than the movies...There are exceptions to the rule apparently. The story itself was interesting. The premise was good and I wanted to learn more about the characters. The main problem was the writing. It felt emotionally flat and too descriptive. I skipped a good portion of the second half...
    • 3/5
      I really enjoy this series! This book (like the last one) ended very abruptly, but that's ok. I actually love how it ended! These books are not exceptional reads, but they're action packed & fast paced, full. There's drama & there's humor. Every once in a while a book like this is just what I need.
























    • 4/5
      OK--James Frey hired the right kid to do this book as opposed to the Fall of Five which was miserable. TYpical Lorien stuff even though it had the WORST ending possible in that you now have to wait for the sequel but nicely done.
    • 3/5
      Picked up toward the end ... the last 50 pages renewed my hope for the next ones in the series and might have possibly changed my mind about reading the others.
    • 2/5
      I expected a lot more from this story than I got. The characters are too simplified and generic to be all that interesting, and that's saying something given that two of them (or three, I guess) are from another planet!

      I read a LOT of young adult urban fantasy, so I have high expectations for teenage characters, esp. when the story is told in 1st person by a teenager. I don't expect them to have the wisdom and maturity of an adult, of course, but I do expect them to have the kind of depth, complexity, and originality that makes them so appealing to so many readers. John and his friends are nice enough, but they're basically cookie cutter characters that could fit into just about any bland, ordinary TV show or story about teenagers.

      My favorite aspect of the audio narration was the narrator's voice for Henri.

      My favorite character was Bernie Kosar, the "guardian angel" beagle.

      My favorite part of the story was when it was over!
    • 3/5
      Perhaps my sense of what makes good young adult science fiction is off, but this struck me as a remarkably bland plot conveyed through mediocre writing. The basic frame - aliens invade a fruitful planet, which sends a rocket to Earth with nine small kids in hopes that they'll someday be able to repopulate the species - makes no biological, political, or logistical sense. The book is full of details like that - the evil aliens can't kill the good ones except in numerical order, unless two of the good ones meet, in which case they are all vulnerable. Why? Because the plotting doesn't work otherwise - but the only in-story reason is a bunch of hand-waving that amounts to, 'because that's how Lorien powers work.' The book also faces a common YA fiction problem of a scale mismatch between the love story and the main plot; if its solution isn't quite 'love conquers all', it's not far off. On the whole, the book isn't horrible, but I'm puzzled that anyone bothered to make a movie of it.
    • 2/5
      I liked the story enough to quickly read to the end.
    • 5/5
      excellent story and superve production better than a movie this hole collection of books is fantastic.
    • 4/5
      As will always be true, the book was better than the movie. There is more character development and foraging out of the plot. If you saw the movie and enjoyed it--or even if you didn't enjoy the movie, the books is a good read. And as cute as the Pettyfer kid is, I could not picture him as John while reading. The she change between book and film is evident-- John being younger in the book than he is portrayed in the film Hero is such an awesome & moveable character and Sarah, in my opinion, is more likeable in the book than in the movie. Good book, glad I found it, can't wait to see where this series goes.
    • 3/5
      I used to wait for the books to be released and very eagerly begin reading them. This was the first book I did not rush to, and I'm not sure if it's because I was too busy or too disinterested. At the time, busy seemed to be the answer (I started graduate school the same week the book was released), now I'm not so sure.

      I can say for certain that I am not a fan of the audiobooks and I will be returning to my trusty friend the hardcover version. I couldn't get a good picture of the action from this book and I am not sure if it's because of how it was told- I definitely have a different "voice" in my head than the audiobook- or if it was because of the writing. Either way, thus far this has been my least favorite book of the series.
    • 5/5
      I don't know about a review but here I go, I love the movie and it wasn't until a friend of mine told me that this was a book series that I decided to read it. I do not know why I am surprised that the book is way better, I books usually are . I can't believe they left so much out of the book in the movie, the whole back story about their planet and the time he spends in Paradise, Ohio getting to know Sarah and Sam plus his bond with Henri, I just loved it and I loved the fight scene it gave it so much more meaning and perspective. Can't wait to finish the rest of the series.
    • 3/5
      Very readable but definitely not spectacular.
    • 1/5
      Teen fiction; action-adventure. I wanted to like this book, but even though Neil Kaplan did a decent job with creating the various character voices, I found the writing tedious. The explanation of the Loriens' battle and escape from the Mogadorians took forever, and things (such as the reason the Loriens didn't hide in big cities) were explained more than once.
    • 1/5
      Bought this by accident. Would not buy again. Maybe if I was 15...
    • 4/5
      For the longest time I passed on this when I saw it in my recommendations but I'm glad I gave it a chance. I normally like Fantasy books, not so much Sci-fi, and I found this to be an easy read and it was very easy to continue on to figure out what was gonna happen next.

      This book has action and adventure and enough mystery to be interesting.
      Overall a very good book.
    • 4/5
      Loved this. The movie totally twists it the story.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book. It was a fun fast read with lots of action (especially at the end).
    • 4/5
      A great start to the series, I like how well it sets everything up and introduces characters without being too overwhelming.
    • 3/5
      READ IN DUTCH

      I guess when all you have to do is be quite and don't get noticed by the aliens hunting you down the alias John Smith is definitely going to work, because there is no way that is going to look suspicious at all!

      "John" is one of a set of nine aliens, driven from their home planet into hiding on Earth. They have one rather strong form of protection. They have been assigned a number and can only be killed in that particular order. Must have been a real let down to be number one...

      The story doesn't always makes a lot of sense, but is a fast read and as such quite enjoyable.
    • 4/5
      This book kept me on my toes. Some of the things I expected to happened seem to be the complete opposite of what happened. I think I might go watch the movie.
    • 2/5
      I wanted to like this book, but I just didn't find the plotting to be compelling. I don't try very hard, yet even I could predict what was going to happen next.
    • 3/5
      Action-packed, very much YA, quite enjoyable. The whole ‘can only be killed in order’ didn’t make sense and wasn’t satisfactorially explained. I was given books 2 and 3 so borrowed this one from the library.
    • 4/5
      Solid sci-fi. Actually, this isn't even one of my preferred genres, but I was still thoroughly engaged. I'm kinda really liking the whole plot that's set up here, and it's going in an interesting direction. Now, granted, there are some holes, but I felt as though I needed to go out of my way to even notice them with how engaged I was in the narrative.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book, although I felt that some of the writing felt a little juvenile. I attribute that, partially, to it being from the point of view of a 15 year old boy, which I am not accustomed to. It had a wonderful plot that left me searching to find if there would be a second book, and there was plenty of back story which I love. There were a few grammatical errors that I saw, but that doesn't bother me too much so I was still able to enjoy the book despite that.
    • 3/5
      I Am Number Four features an intense storyline that is hard to put down, that makes you like the characters and makes you wan to see what happens to them next. Although the fight sequences make it a little hard to read, by way of losing the voice of the author and reading more of history than action.
    • 3/5
      I'm still debating whether I like he movie or the book more. I found the first 150-200 pages of the book utterly boring, however I could not put it down no matter how hard I tried for the last 100 pages. The suspenseful points in there book were ruined by foreshadowing and common sense, even without the background of the movie you had a window into what was going to happen next in what would have otherwise been suspenseful points of the book.

      If you have already seen the movie and left wanting more, definitely read the book and stay tuned for the next book (The Power of Six). I feel that Pittacus Lore is a good story teller and the next book will no doubt be good especially since you won't have the boring introduction into the characters unique lives.
    • 1/5
      I really tried but I did not enjoy this book... I kept waiting for it to get good but it never did.
    • 4/5
      John and Henry have been living on the run since they arrived on Earth 10 years ago. Constantly watching for signs and leaving at a moments notice. Of the 9 children that were on the flight from Lorien, John is number 4.They caught Number One in Malaysia.Number Two in England.And Number Three in KenyaThe Modagorians must kill each child in their proper order and John is next. I thought this was great read and I gobbled it up and ran out to buy the second in the series. I found myself loving John and the people he ended up surrounding himself with. There was a scene when he stands up to a bully and kicks ass and I was rooting for him! 4* and recommended!
