you should read it but be warned there are parts that you're going to think are messed up and want to read the third one asap which sucks considering i have no idea when the third one is out. so yeah read it. you'll meet new characters and that's all i can say without giving too much away.

the narration in "power of six" is split between john and another character. (No not number 6 like you think) its definately a page turner and makes you care about both stories going on in parrallel

Listen to Dublej 2005. Both books are awesome and you won't want to put them down once you start reading them.

Trust me, you atually begin to care more about the "other character's" story than about John's. The ending is the greatest part...you go back and forth between the two stories and just when you thing they all come together BAM....it ends.
I really hope they don't continue with this movie because it doest nothing but hurt the books and their writers

I wouldn't have ever read the book if they didn't make a movie out of it. I thought the producers and directors did a good job of keeping the movie close to the book.

I've read the three books out now. "I am Number Four"; "The Lost Files - Six's Legacy", and "The Power of Six". I started reading these after I saw the movie, and found out more about the books. I really liked them. Waiting for more books to come out. I think the next one will be "The Rise of Nine".

The Rise of Nine is the name. Pittacus Lore released the name in a video that is on YouTube.

The third book 'The Rise of Nine' comes out August 21, 2012

I would really like to know that too. I just finished the first book ("I am number four") and I don't think I have ever read a book worse than that. It so idiotic, simple-minded that it's almost painful towards the end. The writing, the characters, the "story"... horrible.

It's "Twilight" for boys, only less hyped.

So is the second book any better? Seriously, the only positive part of the first one was that it's short... well, or at least you can read it fast because of its simplicity.

Thanks, that's what I thought.
I actually read some reviews on GoodReads after I posted here, not caring about spoilers. I was laughing hard at some mocking reviews, even harder at the "5 stars" reviews trying to explain the inexplicable.
Anything can be a bestseller these days...
