I listened to this book as an audiobook.
The story was good but it was either the writing style or maybe It was the way it was read that didn’t sit right with me. I would give the movie four stars.

I’ve seen the movie and liked it. I like that the book went into more detail on some things but on others it felt like it just drags on. The guy reading it made the girls sound ditzy and not like strong characters that they were in the movie.

I picked this up after watching the movie and loved the extra details from the book. The stories are slightly different where some surprises are missed but this is a quick and enjoyable story that fills in many gaps you may have found in the movie. ( )

I like the overall storyline and magic, but the characters are bland and the writing is lacking, to say the least. ( )

Quotations
I pick up a birth certificate that he has already finished.  The name written is James Hughes.  The date of birth would make me one year older.  I'd be sixteen and able to drive.  Then I bend over and look at the one he is in the process of creating. The name listed is Jobie Frey, age eighteen, a legal adult.

Book description
Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books—but we are real.

Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. we have lived among you without you knowing.

But they know.

They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They killed them all.

I am Number Four.

I am next.
