PRAISE FOR THE I AM NUMBER FOUR SERIES:“Number Four is a hero for this generation.

Michael Bay

There’s genuine suspense…it’s easy to get lost in the world of the sweet teen from another planet.

Terrifically propulsive.

The Horn Book

Somehow the Garde narrowly survived the onslaughts recounted so vividly in The Rise of Nine, but disorganized and outnumbered, they realize that they might have just postponed their annihilation. To save earth from the ruthless Mogadorian hordes, they must match the powers and cleverness of their oppressors and fight for a better day. A new installment of one of the most popular teen fantasy adventure series.

"Lore" (aka James Frey) moves his ponderous, jumbled science-fiction epic forward an inch by dropping a traitor into the band of superpowered refugees charged with saving Earth from evil aliens. The tale has already become so complicated that even confirmed series fans may welcome the long, sluggish stretches of hanging out, fretting, flirting, bickering and undisguised recaps. These are packed in between the paltry number of violent but widely spaced encounters with brutish Mogadorian invaders. Here, the already indigestibly large cast of teenage Loriens and their human helpers gains three and loses one as two chancy new allies, multiple gems with mystical properties, prophetic visions of terrifying doom, ravening monsters, mysterious scars and hints of new powers arrive to add more flimsy trinkets to the literary flea market. Confusingly, three of the Loriens switch off as first-person narrators but are given (whether from authorial inertia or incompetence) indistinguishable voices. Following the climactic denouement, the young heroes end up more or less where they were in the previous episode: split up and on the run. Sample chapters, not labeled as such, from three spinoff novellas are appended. Likely headed for the best-seller lists--but not on its merits. (Science fiction. 12-14)
