The book I am reading for the independent reading
in I Am Number Four. A book turned to movie; author Pittacus Lore tells a
story told through the main character Number 4 or John Smith a name h
choose to hide his real identity. You see "John" is an alien from the
planet called Lorien. He looks just like a human but with more physical strength,
he can hear and smell more than we can and has special powers that come to him
as he gets older. There were nine like him that came to earth after their
planet was attacked by another alien culture called the Mogadorian from the
planet Mogadore.
Its a pretty fast pace book that
tells just about every little detail but it builds so much suspense that you
just have to keep reading. To be honest this is the first book I really
read and got into since the eighth grade. “Yea its that good.”
I even suggest reading the sequel
to it even though I haven’t. If its as good as this one then it’s a must read. You
can really connect with “John,” going into his mind is like a journey to a
whole other universe. It's a pretty fast pace book with every chapter going through every little detail and then at the end leaving you with a cliff hanger that makes you read on and not put the book down.
I'm reaching the end of the book where John gets caught by the Magadorians because of a foolish move to save his human girlfriend. In luck he runs into number six who is just like him and Henry his protecter also comes to his help. They kill of many of the "scout" Magadorians but when the bigger badder soliders come with the "beast" is where they now have troubles and that where i left off.

You mention that the novel is fast paced and then you mention that there are all these little details. How does the author keep the pace quick, even with an abundance of details. That is worth thinking about as a writer -- how could you learn from Lore?
