        The book that I read is I am Number Four. It is a book about a kid named John Smith(Number four) and his guardian, Henri. They are from the destroyed planet of Lorien. They traveled to earth with 9 other kids and 9 guardians when John was just 4 years old. They are all spread out around earth, hiding from the creatures that killed Lorien, the Mogadorians. The Mogadorians can only kill the kids in order from 1 to 9. The first three are killed. Number Four is next.
        I loved this book so much and it was a joy to read. I think that the three scenes the movie should keep is the scene where John gets his first legacy, when John and Sarah kiss, and when John meets number 6. If I had to cut off any scenes, it would be Sam and John hang out, and when Mark steals John's phone. I already saw the movie and I was very satisfied with it. Some things I would change about the movie is add some more Mogadorians. In the book there was like a whole army of them, but in the movie there was only about 5. I would also add some more romance with John and Sarah, becuase I liked that in the book. Next, I would add the parts where John has to train with his powers to get used to them. Lastly, I think they should have had a better connection with John and Henri. In the book the connection was really strong, but in the movie they seemed kind of annoyed with each other all the time. That is what I think about the movie adaptation of I am Number Four.
