" I turn my head. Through the dizziness and blurry vision I see a scout fifteen feet away from me. Long trench coat, hat pulled to its eyes. It drops the coat and takes off the hat to reveal a pail and hairless head. It reaches to the back of its belt and removes a bowie knife, the blade which is no less than twelve inches long. I close m eyes. I don’t care anymore. The scout's raspy breathing comes my way, ten feet, then five. And then the footsteps end. The scout grunts in pain, and begins gurgling. I open my eyes., the scout so close that I can smell it. The bowie knife drops from its hand, and there in its chest, where I assume its heart must be, is the end of a butchers knife. The knife is pulled free. The scout drops to its knees, falls to the side, and then explodes into a pile of ashes." That was one of the many action filled scenes in the book " I Am Number Four" by Pittacus Lore. I enjoyed reading this book for many reasons.
One of the many things I liked about this book was the Topic. At first I thought that I wouldn’t like it because it involved aliens and other make believe things. Once I was about half way through the book I started to enjoy it. It was both uncommon and interesting. I enjoyed the topic of this book very much.
Along with topic was great word choice. Lore used a wide variety of word choice to help you get a better picture of what was going on. There was a detailed description of every thing. I had a good picture of every scene in the book. Lore used good vocabulary to make the book more interesting.
Good vocabulary was one of the many reasons why I liked this book. The topic was both unique and interesting. I enjoyed reading this book for many reasons.
