The Power of Six - Book Review
The Power of Six - by Pittacus Lore - is the sequel to I am Number Four.
It is quite common for sequels to be worse than the original. This one felt a little shorter, but overall it was probably as good as the first - if not better, as the most annoying stuff in story logic and ridiculous battle scenes (with the dark realm) were not present here.
The book is a direct sequel, after the big school battle, John and Sam are being chased as terrorists. Another of the garde enter the story and there is a lot of going back and forth between them. On my Kindle book, there was no division between some of these segments, and on the spots where they quickly flipped between the stories that was a bit jarring.
There are plenty of battles, and the ending is clearly built-up for suspense for other sequels (which I'll buy right when it is released).
The Kindle version I saw had an extended scene (pretty weak), audio messages from Pittacus Lore (supposedly the alien leader, trying to warn us and the garde) and trailers from the movie.
Overall, it was a fun, light read. Recommended.
