The Power of Six

I am reading the power of six by Pittacus Lore, this book is the sequel to I am number four. This book is about nine "kids" and their cepans who come from the planet Lorien. The rest of the planet had been killed by the Mogadoriens. Now the nine of them are on the run trying to blend in with the rest of the world and stay hidden from the Mogadoriens. The nine from Lorien each have numbers and the Mogadoriens can only kill them in order or if they are together. The story follows John Smith aka number 4 who is on the run with his best friend sam (who is just a normal kid), number six, and their "dog" Bernie Kosar who is really a creature from Lorien. It also follows Marina aka number seven. This book is very interesting and full of action, but it is also a little confusing. I think that it goes a little too slow and focuses on less important stuff. It is 416 pgs. but i think it could be cut down to at least 350. The author needs to spend more time explaining about the Mogadoriens (even though that was explained in the first book) and less about John and Marina's life. I would recommend this book to almost anyone it has love, action, betrayal, sadness, and action on every page. I gets a little long at some points but the action scenes make up for it. They have also made I am number four into a movie so if this does not sound like something you would read, the movie was amazing!
