Reading Reflection #7

Book: I Am Number Four
Author: Pittacus Lore
Pages read: 1 to end.

I read this book before seeing the movie. I like reading the books before seeing the films based upon them because I like to make a picture in my head of what the characters look like and I prefer knowing what they're really thinking rather than guessing when the actor does some kind of look that is supposed to represent suspicion but comes across as having to go to the bathroom. In this case, I enjoyed the book more than the movie. A lot happened in the book that was left out in the movie. Which is always disappointing. There is a lot of action in it which is cool and always a good read. Also a bit of love, which never hurts in my opinion. I found it to be a bit frustrating though, the whole book is kind of about these people from a different world trying to escape theses other people trying to kill them. It's frustrating what they should be doing to hide, but just don't do it. I don't understand! You could die any second. I'd say that is the time to take all possible precautions. Just a thought.

I bought the second book as well. It's called I Am Number Six. I haven't had a chance to read it but I hope it will be as good as the first.

Can we just take a second to talk about the authors name? Who names their child Pittacus? News flash, y'all just made up a name. Well Pittacus, I respect your books, but unfortunately not your name.
