The Power of Six

The Jist:
Have you seen I am Number 4? Or read it? This is just the continuation of that. So Aliens battling each other on earth. Awesome. 

Pros:
This writing in this book was SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than in the first. Did he get a new editor? Thank goodness.
I can't help picturing Alex Pettyfer as number 4 while reading. 
I find this story line more intriguing than all the other dystopian stuff I have been reading lately. 
We finally meet more of the Lorian Clan. Number 7?! Number 9?!
Plot moves fast with some twists. 

Cons:
Is this Dickens? No. It is a YA novel. Treat it as such.
Morgadorians.  These guys are cra cra.
The chests. Their mysterious nature was driving me a little nuts.

Overall: 
I really enjoyed it. I think that the plot is smart and engaging. Pittacus Lore does a great job of developing a relationships between the readers and the characters. I will definitely be reading the next one when it comes out. It will be interesting to see how he ends the series. Are the Lorian's ever going to make it home? I have to find out! And now I am secretly hoping that they make more movies... but that is a secret.

★★★1/2

  2. And now I'm adding I Am Number Four to my reading list. It just keeps getting longer... I've got such a weak spot for dystopian literature. Tsk, tsk. Cute review, I like how it's segmented. :)
