" The Rise of Nine is the latest installment in the wonderful "Lorien Legacies" series by Pittacus Lore. The series is set in our modern day world and revolves around Four, an alien teenager from a dead planet called Lorien, fighting to protect the world against an evil alien race with the help of the last remaining members of his race - all teens just like him, born and bred to fight the vicious Mogidorians. I have read and enjoyed the first two books in the series, I Am Number Four and The Power of Six. The series isn't necessarily a favorite of mine books aren't especially profound or incredibly life-changing. They're nothing ground-breakingly original, but I still enjoy them - because, well, they're fun. After all, who doesn't enjoy a tale of evil aliens? The characters are fresh and easy to relate to, the plot is easy to follow, and the dialogue rarely gets boring. This book is perfect if you're finishing a long, challenging book and are looking for a light, easy read. "
