2.5 I based all of my knowledge of this book on the movie trailers I remembered seeing back in the day and….the trailers looked better than this book was ( )

I would have rated this book higher but I thought the dialogue was painful and the profanity/swearing was so common ~ and distracting being a sub-plot line joke between the main character and his father figure.
I would have a tough time recommending this book to anyone. It's not really mature enough for adults. I was glad to see there wasn't also gratuitous sexual situations. ( )

A little oversimplified. It had potential but it didn't get there. Still a fun and enjoyable YA novel. ( )

I read this because I had seen and enjoyed the movie. Highly worthwhile--and well narrated on audio. I only see a handful of other books in this series, but I look forward to reading them all.

Great book for adolescents and older who are interested in science fiction, with a little romance thrown in. ( )

sapevo già che a una seconda lettura la valutazione si sarebbe abbassata, infatti ho letto metà del libro annoiandomi e pensando di essere invecchiata male: una megera acida e disillusa!

Invece no, è l'autore che è un paraculo e che nello stile più basico possibile ci presenta il festival delle banalità!

TRAMA E SPOILERONI!
alieni buoni e belli, spiritualmente evoluti al punto che il pianeta madre regala loro magia e superpoteri (ma solo ad alcuni, gli altri fanno i servi...ho detto servi?? si, servi..però servi evoluti, chiaro) vengono sterminati da alieni cattivi (e brutti eh!!)
Unici sopravvissuti al genocidio e alla devastazione del pianeta (dove ora non c'è più vita, ne vegetale ne animale e non si capisce perchè manco acqua) sono 9 bimbetti in età prescolare con relative babysitter che si nascondono sulla terra dove però sono giunti anche i cattivoni che con un nuovo pianeta da studiare, conquistare e occupare perdono tempo a dare la caccia ai 9 bambini che quindi crescono braccati.
Ciò non impedisce loro di prendersi cotte liceali e mandare a puttane piani di fuga decennali.

(naturalmente gli alieni fighi ed evoluti hanno da sempre aiutato gli umani a progredire: dandoci il fuoco, ingravidandoci qui e là dando vita agli psicopatici Dei greci ma anche ad Einstein, al Mahatma Gandhi ect e costruende le notoriamente molto utili piramidi egizie) ( )

Quotations
I pick up a birth certificate that he has already finished.  The name written is James Hughes.  The date of birth would make me one year older.  I'd be sixteen and able to drive.  Then I bend over and look at the one he is in the process of creating. The name listed is Jobie Frey, age eighteen, a legal adult.

Book description
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.
