I Am Number Four

I am currently reading the book I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore. Right now I am on page 53. This book is about a group of beings who were sent to Earth from a different planet because their race was being killed off, and they have to live among us. They are incredibly strong and fast, but otherwise look like normal humans. So far, three of the beings have been killed and John Smith is number four. He and his guardian Henri just moved from Florida to Paradise, Ohio to escape the Mogadorians. I like the book so far because it didn't have a very long exposition and got right into the rising action. It's to see any themes, but I have started to see a change in the main character. John Smith started out the story as a shy guy that mostly kept to himself. However, on his first day at his new school he stood up to the school bully and made friends with a pretty girl named Sarah Heart. These lead me to think that there might be another side to John I have yet to see. One of the most important quotes from the book is "They are hunting us, and they won't stop until they've killed us all. I am Number Four. I know that I am next." John said this right after he discovered Number Three was killed and the Mogadorians would all start to come after him. I am really curious to see if John can continue to out run them, or what he will do if they find him.
