he’s a mystery. To me… he’s one of us.
Nine of us

left.
Is Hogn
Number Fiour, and is his appearance the sign I’ve been waiting for?
And what
about Number Five and Six?
They
Caught Number One In Malaysia.
Number Two In England.
And Number Three In Kenya.
They Tried To Catch Number Four In Ohio – And Failed.
I am Number
Seven. One of the six still alive.
And I am
ready to fight.
Review:
Seven
has been living in a convent for years. She wants to keep moving, keep hiding,
but her Cêpan seems to have forgotten about their mission. So instead, Seven
just follows the news on John Smith, the boy everyone believes to be a
terrorist, but she believes is one of them. She is right.
Number
Four, AKA John Smith, is on the run - both from the cops and the Mogdorians,
the evil alien race who destroyed his home planet Lorien and is determined to
kill the remaining six children too.
Can
Seven remain hidden and find her way to John and the others? Can Four, Six and
Sam keep ahead of those pursuing them?
Is
the Power of Six strong enough to destroy all of the Mogdorians?
Whatever
happens next, they will all fight to the death for their planet...
I
loved I Am Number Four – it’s one of
my favourite Sci-Fi books ever! And The Power of Six did not disappoint me! I was hooked to every page and loved all the
new characters, the new feel they gave to the book. I fell in love with the action-packed-ness of I Am Number Four, and it was even more
compelling in this one! Man, I am just
ridiculously in love with this series. And
even more desperate for the next book - The
Rise Of Nine!
All
the characters were amazing and so real! I loved them all – especially the newbies, as
they added a new and awesome feel to the book. Number Seven, or Marina, was a brilliant
addition: determined, sweet, with a fighting spirit like no other. She was so, so caring – she’d do anything for
the ones she loves. And her powers? So awesome!
I’ve always loved Four, and he was still sweet and totally devoted to
his friends, but in this one he was a little too reckless. Then again,
what makes him loveable and believable is his flaws and the fact he isn’t perfect. Plus, I love his strength and how he makes me
laugh! Six was only in the end of the
first book, but she was huge in this.
And she is so kick-butt
awesome! What do you need? Stitches?
Awesome powers? Secrets leading
to intrigue? Invisibility?! Oh, just ask
Six! How I love her! But Sam is
definitely my favourite. He’s just so
cute and nerdy and funny, so sweet and brave and clever. Gotta love him!
The
bond between Sam, Six and Four really developed in this one and I could really feel their friendship. Even though both guys were kinda crushin' on
Six. I did and do like Sarah, but she
just can't compete. Six is kick butt
awesome and I just love her. She's a way better love interest for anyone if you
ask me. So, yes, can’t wait to see where
this one goes!
Man,
I love ‘Pittacus Lore’. He just blows me
away. For starters, the plot:
amazing. Action-packed, twisty,
addictive. Even if some scenes were slower than others, I loved them
anyway because of the mystery in them, the sense of purpose. And then halfway
through, bam! The pace just kicked up and went full
throttle, and there was just so much action and suspense – two of my very
favourite things! But even with all the
action, there was just so much emotion. The bond between Sam, Six and Four. The loss of loved ones. The way the characters loved. We got to see stories from the past and all
the powerful emotions of love and grief that came with them. I just love that such
an action-packed book about alien races can have so much heart, so much soul, so many human emotions. Oh, and then there was the writing,
alternating between Four and Seven: yes,
split POVs! Both sounded very different
and both had the same addictiveness. I
loved getting to see what life was like for one of the other Nine. As for the world – or more precisely, the
alien worlds – well, let’s just say I wanna be a Lorien. Enough said!
An
action-packed, addictive, romantic, scary-awesome book with the most amazing
characters and world... I seriously love this series and book - I wasn’t bored
for a second ever! And I so need the next book! And for this one to be made into a film -
because it was epic! I seriously need the next in the series! It's gonna be even more awesome!
