The Rise Of Nine (Pittacus Lore)

Now that Six is in Spain with Seven (Marina) and Ten (Ella), Four (John) and Nine are all alone with no other aliens in America.

Ten's Cepan suspects that Eight is located in India because of things he has read on the internet. But with the charm broken, the Mogadorians (the "bad guys") can kill him.

Even though the whole Lorien race lies on they're shoulders, the last remaining Loric are still just teens (except for Ten). Six still likes Four and "X" (Sam) and Four likes Sara and Six. But Seven is still all alone, but maybe if she meet's another Loric who is available, she can find love too.

When the children boarded the ship, each elder (the super powerful aliens) gave up his or her life to get the children to go to Earth. Each child will have the same powers as one of the elders.

Pittacus Lore was the strongest elder. One of the kids will have his same powers. He is the one person who would even stand a chance against the Mogadorian ruler.

Now, the biggest question is, who is Pittacus Lore?

........................................................................................................

It makes me mental when authors add themselves in the book. It makes the book not seem real when they are talking about people who are real. It makes the book not feel like a science fiction book; it makes it feel like a crazy person is writing it.

I think Nine is an awesome character. He is arrogant, rude and selfish, but everything he says is honest.  I don't understand why readers hate Seven and Nine so much. There wouldn’t be any more books if the whole series was just about Six and Four.

I think it's pretty obvious who "Pittacus Lore" is. I would be shocked if it was not the main character in the series, but if it is not the obvious choice, then I hope it's Seven.

The characterization was the focus in this book, which was strange cause of how plot- focused the second book was. I liked the characters in this book a lot more than in the second book. The characters were realistic and different from each other. However, this book was written in three different people's point of view (Four, Six and Seven) and the writing style didn’t change at all. It was like everyone was thinking in the same way, which would not happen because of how different the characters are.

This book also had a lot of plot. But it was not overwhelming and I could keep up what was happening in each person's world. Every event seemed to have something to with the big picture.

If only the author did not add himself in the book...

4.97 out of 5 stars.
