He regularly moves from small town to small town. He changes his name and identity. He does not put down roots. He cannot tell anyone who or what he really is. If he stops moving those who hunt him will find and kill him.
But you can't run forever.
So when he stops in Paradise, Ohio, John decides to try and settle down. To fit in. And for the first time he makes some real friends. People he cares about - and who care about him. Never in John's short life has there been space for friendship, or even love.
But it's just a matter of time before John's secret is revealed.
He was once one of nine. Three of them have been killed.
John is Number Four. He knows that he is next . . .
It was a bit weird to read this one again... I remember reading it a couple of years ago (2011) and I really liked it. In the meantime I've watched the movie multiple times (mostly because of the lead actor haha), and I really wanted to continue this series. I've read the first three books, but to really be aware of all that happened I wanted to re-read. I mean 2011.. hell that has been 6 years and a couple of hundred books ago XD (Damn time flies)...
Butttt, because I know what's going to happen to some degree, it was not really THAT exciting to read it again. I skimmed through some parts and discovered some differences between the book and the movie plotwise.. But overall I already knew most of it (Hooray for me and my memory) and of course I liked it, but I was not that impressed.
So I'm going to continue with the next part, and hope I remember less from that one XD I do really hope to finish this series this year though. Seven books.. seven months left.. must be possible !
