I AM NUMBER FOUR (Pittacus Lore) - January 25/11

This is easily the best book I've read in a while. It's super fast-paced, genuinely exciting, and filled with impressively memorable characters. (RIP Henri!) It definitely reminded me of Twilight at times, which might be why I enjoyed it so much. The action-heavy ending is, at times, a little too descriptive for its own good, but it's immediately followed by a number of character-centric sequences that got me a little choked up. A strong start to a hopefully strong series. (Let's hope this isn't another Hunger Games...) ***1/2 out of ****
