Book Review: The Power of Six by Piticus Lore

The Power of Six continues the story where I am Number Four ended. This book is a lot more action packed than I am Number Four, and moves along quickly. Again the imagery is wonderful, and the reader is swept up in the story from the beginning. Can't wait to read the next book in the series The Rise of Nine.<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Book Review: I am Number Four by Piticus Lore

My son was required to read this book in his English 9 class. Until this book was assigned to him, I had never heard of the series or knew there was also a movie based on this book. I do have to say that I like this book. The story, although there were some slow parts, overall was amazing. The imagery and the descriptions in the book really make the reader feel as if they are in the story as well. I give this book 5 hearts, because it certainly captured mine. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Quiet Observance

Here I stand,
Tall, sturdy, and strong.
A part of this world for so long.

A simple begining,
A tragic end.
Resulting in the death of my best friend.

One hundred years,
I've sheltered many souls.
They've slept in my care and hidden in my holes.

I know who it was.
I saw his face.
I've seen him many times all over this place.

I can't tell them,
I can't speak.
Sometimes this makes me feel weak.

Our language is different,
They won't understand.
If only I could come up with a plan.

To tell them all,
Exactly what I feel.
Unable to speak makes me feel ill.
