Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books--but we are real. Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. We have lived among you without you knowing. But they know. They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. They killed them all. I am Number Four. I am next.

loved it! an easy and nice nostalgic read that had me hooked & i’m excited to read the other books again
Read this book on a friend's suggestion, and overall I think it could have been a lot better. I was expecting a lot of sci-fi or at least more fantasy. It was fantastically boring in that the author sets up the idea that the main characters are from a different planet, yet this planet is barely any different from Earth?
Overall: stereotypical characters and plot, cliche, read like an action movie script, and it was annoying that any time there was conflict or a problem cropped up, the author just invented some object that could fix it, not really giving the main characters chances to grow/change/develop.
