Pittacus LoreReviews

ribadisco che l'autore è un paraculo e ora che ho finito posso aggiungere anche TRUFFATORE!

questi sette libri di merda che non sono altro che la solita scena di acchiapparello con scaramuccia ripetuta all'infinito a volte intramezzata da piccole e ammorbanti paranoie pre-adolescenziali.
Io li ho scaricati gratis ma c'è chi ha pagato 7 volte per avere un libro e 6 fotocopie!
siccome augurargli di spendere quei soldi in cure mediche fa male al mio karma posso cmq augurargli (ai due autori e all'editore) di spenderli in cause legali

TRAMA E SPOILERONE
come sempre tutti corrono qui e la combattendo
i buoni vincono

TRAMA E SPOILER
ora che l'EntitàSenziente si è diffusa sulla Terra anche gli umani hanno i superpoteri e quindi..
corrono qui e la combattendo
i nostri eroi inevitabilmente corrono qui e la combattendo
finalmente ne muore un altro
gli alieni brutti e cattivi prendono qualche calcio nel didietro

(ma non troppi perchè c'è ancora da correre qui e la combattendo per tutto il prox volume, che è l'ultimo e in cui spero muoiano tutti, ma proprio tutti)

TRAMA:
tanto per cambiare
il gruppetto si riunisce e corre qua e la combattendo
il gruppetto si divide e corre qua e la combattendo
poi...
il gruppetto si unisce nuovamente e corre qua e la combattendo
infine il gruppetto si separa e corre qua e la combattendo
Trovano anche il tempo di riattivare l'EnergiaSenziente di Lorien che si propaga sulla Terra

TRAMA E SPOILER
naturalmente tutti corrono qua e la combattendo
torna Sam che ha ritrovato suo padre
un alieno buono si schiera con i cattivi e tradisce la sua razza
un alieno cattivo si schiera con i buoni e tradisce la sua razza
qualcuno muore

ma come ho fatto a dimenticare il clichè del Governo connivente??
Per fortuna c'è James Frey a ricordarmelo

TRAMA E SPOILER
Quattro e Nove corrono qua e là combattendo
Sei, Sette, Otto e la piccola Dieci si teletrasportano qua e là combattendo
Quattro, Sei, Sette, Otto, Nove e Dieci corrono qua e là combattendo INSIEME (!!!!!!!)

sapevo già che a una seconda lettura la valutazione si sarebbe abbassata, infatti ho letto metà del libro annoiandomi e pensando di essere invecchiata male: una megera acida e disillusa!

Invece no, è l'autore che è un paraculo e che nello stile più basico possibile ci presenta il festival delle banalità!

TRAMA E SPOILERONI!
alieni buoni e belli, spiritualmente evoluti al punto che il pianeta madre regala loro magia e superpoteri (ma solo ad alcuni, gli altri fanno i servi...ho detto servi?? si, servi..però servi evoluti, chiaro) vengono sterminati da alieni cattivi (e brutti eh!!)
Unici sopravvissuti al genocidio e alla devastazione del pianeta (dove ora non c'è più vita, ne vegetale ne animale e non si capisce perchè manco acqua) sono 9 bimbetti in età prescolare con relative babysitter che si nascondono sulla terra dove però sono giunti anche i cattivoni che con un nuovo pianeta da studiare, conquistare e occupare perdono tempo a dare la caccia ai 9 bambini che quindi crescono braccati.
Ciò non impedisce loro di prendersi cotte liceali e mandare a puttane piani di fuga decennali.

(naturalmente gli alieni fighi ed evoluti hanno da sempre aiutato gli umani a progredire: dandoci il fuoco, ingravidandoci qui e là dando vita agli psicopatici Dei greci ma anche ad Einstein, al Mahatma Gandhi ect e costruende le notoriamente molto utili piramidi egizie)

peggio del precedente

TRAMA (per dire) E SPOILER
Quattro, Sam e Sei scappano qui e la combattendo, poi si dividono
Quattro e Sam e Nove scappano qui e la combattendo o facendosi catturare
Sette, Dieci e il suo Cepan scappano qui e la combattendo finche Sei li salva

I'm hoping the next one. it seems like they are dragging this iut with 5 books, and however many novellas.

Actually listened to this one. It was definitely different but I didn't want to put it down. I actually am really enjoying this series. No, the writing isn't great. Lack of adverbs many times but it is a fun story-line and I plan on seeing where it goes.

This has a lot more action (there is a feel of "turn this into a movie screenplay" type writing in the latter half with the action scenes) and is lighter on character development/plot than book one. However we do get too meet several other of the Loric during it (some briefly). There is also some revealing of the different factions and what passed before.

The title is NOT a misnomer.. Six has amazing powers..

Overall interesting but not quite as satisfying as book 1 but I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the next volume..

I found this to be quite enjoyable. The ending felt abrupt but otherwise it was interesting.

I saw the trailer for the movie around a month ago and decided to read the book before the movie came out. I had very high hopes that this book would be nothing less of amazing but I was saddened to learn that it was just mediocre. I really enjoyed the first half of the book. During the second half of the book I found that I kept getting more and more frustrated with each chapter.

Four and his guardian, Henri, are constantly moving around the US to keep from being found by their enemies, the Mogadorians. The Lorien childrien that came to earth had a spell placed upon them that meant that the Mogadorians had to kill each child in order unless 2 of the Lorien children come near each other, then the spell is broken and the Mogadorians can kill them in any order they please. Each time a Lorien child is murdered all the remaining Lorien children receive a scar that forms around their ankle. Each Lorien child lives in a different part of the world to keep the Mogadorians from finding them so easily.


Four and Henri decide to move to a small town in Ohio this time around. He is supposed to lay low and to blend in. You would think that Four would take this serious considering he carries 3 scars around his ankle as a reminder of the 3 Loriens that have already died, but it seems as if he could care less. On the first day of school he gets into an altercation with the school bull and accidentally shows people his first legacy. Even after that he still remains to be careless throughout the entire book. He gets a beautiful (Surpise!) girlfriend and a best friend. Several times his guardian wanted to leave town because not only were the Mogadorians we're close, but also because Four has messed up time after time, leading the Magadorians towards them. Four uses his new powers to his advantage and forces Henri to stay against his better judgement. Even when he knew the Mogadorians had found him he still refused to leave, endangering everyone he cares about.

On the front of the book there is a blurb from Michael Bay that says "Number Four is the hero of our generation" I'm actually baffled at that statement. Four lies through his teeth and puts his own selfish needs before the safety of anyone else, and in the end, it backfires getting people hurt and killed.... But yet we're supposed to sympathize with him? NOT A CHANCE. At one point in the book there is a war going on, a war that he knew was coming if he didn't leave town, and he tells Henri he "didn't know this was going to happen" even though through the whole book Henri is telling him this is exactly what would happen if he wasn't careful.

I also couldn't get past all the holes in the book that left me with lingering questions. For example, If the Loriens sent the kids to earth so that they could come back one day and repopulate their planet, why did they only send 9 kids? Shouldn't they have sent an even number of people? 5 boys and 5 girls? It was made clear that Loriens are monogamous. They find their love and stay with them until they die. So, assuming that they would hope for the best and none of the kids died, why would they send an odd number?

I didn't hate the book, but I didn't like the book either. I still want to see the movie and I honestly think it's going to be better then the book which is a bid deal for me because the book is always better.

I listened to this book as an audiobook.
The story was good but it was either the writing style or maybe It was the way it was read that didn’t sit right with me. I would give the movie four stars.

I’ve seen the movie and liked it. I like that the book went into more detail on some things but on others it felt like it just drags on. The guy reading it made the girls sound ditzy and not like strong characters that they were in the movie.

REVIEW: Generation One is the first in a series of books spun-off from The Lorien Legacies. It follows the human Garde as they train to make sense of their powers after the war with the Mogadorians.

While I enjoyed this book and will definitely read the next ones, I didn’t find this series to be quite as engaging as The Lorien Legacies. I did appreciate that the characters were more diverse, and it was interesting seeing the new legacies that they’ve discovered. I also liked the school atmosphere. But it just seemed to be lacking some of the spirit of the Lorien Legacies. Maybe the series will get better on the second book, and I’m definitely not giving up on it.

Although there were some short cameos by characters from the original series, I wish there’d been more, to kind of tie the two series together more. I’ve heard that there are more of them in future books, so here’s hoping. 🙂

I would recommend this book to fans of The Lorien Legacies and YA science fiction/fantasy.½

Pretty good book. Introduces 2 more of the garde.. Can't wait for the next installment in 2012

I picked this up after watching the movie and loved the extra details from the book. The stories are slightly different where some surprises are missed but this is a quick and enjoyable story that fills in many gaps you may have found in the movie.

R it

RATING: 4/5

REVIEW: I am doing a lot of rereading now! I am rereading this series as well as Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld series. Very different books, but I am very much enjoying them both.

I quickly skimmed the first two of these books as I remembered most of them, and started reading for real on the third one. I’d forgotten a lot of it since my last read was almost ten years ago!

The Rise Of Nine follows the story of the Loric Garde, powered teenagers who were whisked to earth as the only survivors of the destruction of their planet. In this book, all except one are reunited for the first time in ten years, and their battle against those who destroyed their world and are trying to destroy earth really begins.

I really enjoyed this series the first time I read it because it’s totally my thing. I’m a sucker for teen fantasy, and love seeing all the characters’ powers – or Legacies – develop. Even though I know the basic outline of what happens, it’s still exciting and a pleasure to read.

I would definitely recommend this series to people who love YA fantasy.

I like the overall storyline and magic, but the characters are bland and the writing is lacking, to say the least.

This is an extremely fast paced part of the series with monsters, danger, teens with special powers and a world to save, Earth. Well performed . Highly recommended. Borrowed via LIBBY. RETURNED.

FROM AMAZON: The sixth book in the thrilling, action-packed, New York Times best-selling I Am Number Four series.

For years the Garde have fought the Mogadorians in secret. Now all of that has changed. The invasion has begun. If the Garde can't find a way to stop the Mogs, humanity will suffer the same fate as the Lorien: annihilation.

There is still hope. When the Elders sent the Garde to Earth, they had a plan - one the Garde are finally starting to understand. In the climax of The Revenge of Seven, a group of the Garde traveled to an ancient pyramid in Mexico known to their people as the Sanctuary. There they awoke a power that had been hidden within our planet for generations. Now this power can save the world...or destroy it. It will all depend on who wields it.

While not a super sci-fi fan, this one grabbed me from the start. Syd and his mom are on the run, not because she owes anyone money or did anything bad. They are on the run from all things: aliens. Turns out Syd is 1/2 human half Denzian. And the Denzian’s want him back…Syd also wants to figure out the mystery behind his father’s appearance. What happened that he left him and his mom 10 years ago? This was a non stop space romp. Lots of new aliens from other planets, LOTS of humor and heart. I look forward to reading the next chapter in Syd’s adventures.
