Book Review: I Am Number Four by Patticus Lore

I am a realistic person, so I was reluctant to read I Am Number Four. BUT, it was a Mother's Day gift from my three children. I found this sci-fi alien encounter to be believable, until they whipped out the chest that had magic tools in it to keep them alive during a battle. I am skeptical, so I felt it was the author's out to keep the characters alive. I read on and enjoyed the ending. If there is a sequel (which there will likely be, since I Am Number Four, the movie, was released in Feb 2011), I would read it. I liked the characters and it would be interesting to see how things go for them in their fictional world.
