About this listen

John Smith is not your average teenager. He regularly moves from small town to small town. He changes his name and identity. He does not put down roots. He cannot tell anyone who or what he really is. If he stops moving those who hunt him will find and kill him.

But you can’t run forever. So when he stops in Paradise, Ohio, John decides to try and settle down. To fit in. And for the first time he makes some real friends. People he cares about – and who care about him. Never in John’s short life has there been space for friendship, or even love.

But it’s just a matter of time before John’s secret is revealed.

He was once one of nine. Three of them have been killed. John is Number Four. He knows that he is next...

The story itself was really good and I think I’ll start the second book. My only dislike was the reader for this book. His character impersonations were awful. Especially Sam and the principal. Would have preferred if they were just read in a normal tone. His impersonation of Sam sounded like something from Revenge of the Nerds. I cringed so hard at times and I nearly didn’t listen to the book because of it.

Good story

Absolutely loved it! And the narrator was brilliant! It’s such a unique and exciting world and story that’s been created and I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the books in the series.

I watched the movie and was disappointed they didn’t make another one so I decided to listen to the book and it was fantastic and couldn’t stop listening and can’t wait to listen to the rest. Just the type of series I was looking for.

Great start to a series

I enjoyed the story, some of the voices were irritating at first but I got used to them.
The music at the start and end was too loud and unnecessary.

An enjoyable story

Great story for the older kids. As an adult I found it a light and entertaining read. Will check out the rest of the series.

I love this series and love that I can now listen to it!
Unfortunately the narrator doesn’t have very good depth to the characters voices, especially Sam, it’s constantly sounds like his (and other characters) nose is blocked. Otherwise still a great listen!

Fantastic Story, narrating occasionally hard to listen to

This book has such an original storyline. You immediately feel involved with the characters, and hate the mogadorians!

Awesome Story
