 The Power of Six, by Pittacus Lore.
Rating: 5 stars

This book is GREAT! It's about 3 aliens and 1 human who are trying to defeat another alien race from destroying Earth. They only have numbers, in this case, 4, 6,and 7. The human is a nerd called Sam, whose dad was abducted by aliens.  4,6, and Sam are trying to survive with the police chasing after them when they are accused of being terrorists. 7 is stuck in an orphanage/church in Spain, and is begging her caretaker to leave. Both know that the REAL problems is fighting the evil race of Modgrorians.
     The Power of Six was great because it is filled with action, suspense, and a little bit of romance. You always wonder what will happen next, and if one of the characters will make it through the next obstacle.
      To anyone who is interested in getting this book, it has a few bad words, and you should read the first book, I am Number Four, if you want this book to make any sense. Other than that,GET THIS BOOK!!! 




Now for the second book...

Dualed, by Elsie Chapman.
Rating: 4 stars

Oh, this book is hard to explain. Let's say there are 2 of you, both exact copies. You live in separate places, separate lives. One day, between the ages of 11 and 21, you and your Alt (the copy of you) has gotten an assignment. You have one month to kill your Alt before he/she kills you. If you don't both of you self destruct. What a wonderful world!
     This was a good book, but it was confusing. It skips 20 DAYS, and then explains the rest of the ten days in painstaking detail. The girl in this story, West Grayer, is not the average person on the block. She is the last Grayer, and she is a Striker, which means that  she kills other people's Alts for money.
WARNING:Dualed is a very VIOLENT book. It says gun on almost every page! Make sure that you can handle lots of blood and weapons before reading this book.  


So, the next time I finish a book, I won't be lazy about writing a review. Cha-cha for now!
