The Power of Six II

I finished this book and liked it a lot, maybe even better than the first one. In the first post about this book, I said what the book was about. So if you’re reading this and have no idea what I’m talking about, just read my first post about The Power of Six.

This book is told from two perspectives: John Smith, aka Number Four and also a girl named Marina, who happens to be Number Seven. John is still running away from the Mogadorians and the police, while Marina is incognito in a monastery. They have different ideas and different priorities. The author presents them to a reader and leaves it to his/her emotions. At the end of the book, Number Six meets up with Marina and John finds Number Nine. Now, they want to meet up and fight back against the Mogadorians because they are ready. Their powers have been completed and they have many allies.

I’ve studied these four aliens and I had learned a lot about their race. Each of them has different powers called Legacies. For example, John has telekinesis (the ability to move objects with his mind.) Six has the ability to become invisible and Marina has the ability to heal rapidly. Most Loriens (the name of their race) love only one person for life, but John it’s different. Before he loved Sarah but now he starts having feelings about number Six. This makes them more human. They also have different characteristics, which are more like human characteristics. John, for example, is determined, funny, hopeful, and loyal. Marina is patient, loving, optimistic, loyal and hopeful. Maybe you are like this or have a friend with these characteristics? The more these aliens stay on Earth, the more they become human like, with special powers of course.  

So, once again we humans think that aliens are so similar to us. Is this because we are so proud and sure we are the best, although still short of special power? Was the Superman an alien or human? Anyway, the book is fun to read and good to study human traits.
