'm number four, Pittacus Lore (seud.), RBA, 2011

admit that she fell for the first time this novel in my hands crossed malrollero my body shuddered. Why? Fear. It could not be a good sign that this novel came sponsored by a sentence of Michael Bay, this "film director? Hogwash has perpetrated as Bad Boys I and II , Pearl Harbour, Transformers I and II , The Is ... what the hell, like all the fucking work "film?. A "film? cameras characterized by seizures, embarrassing patriotism and exhibition booth free female body pajillero impossible positions. Days later you discover that there is a movie about to premiere and its producer is Michael Bay. If that add a mysterious author (or author? or author) and the cover is the handsomest of the movie that this made a stink of burning and precast product (and, indeed, after seeing the trailer I can only say that will not go to see the film and it shows that behind all this, Mr. Bay: epileptic camera, lots of noise, lots of girls explosion and dirty, sweaty and impossible positions.) But we're here to talk about the novel.

planet was once a crowded supeguay superguay that was suddenly invaded by some very bad types who won and loaded all the life he had. Only one ship managed to escape in the direction to earth with nine children who became the hope for the survival of an entire race. Children with special powers. As well, three of them killed by the bad guys and go for the room, the protagonist of this story.

Okay, I admit, I liked the novel. I read it in a few hours (do not let her fool you five hundred pages: the paper is thick, short paragraph and there is much dialogue. It's not addictive, is that it reads in a pis pas) and kept me entertained.

Point.

Nothing. It is mere entertainment. You can not ask more than what it is: a novel popcorn to hang out, forget and devote it to things of greater substance. The story is simple (there is a good with a mission and those who spank bad) and a thousand times seen and heard and explained. The characters are flat and fulfill the function with which they were born (the hero, the hero's master, the girl, the girl with guns, best friend, certainly not the enemy, the bad terrible, the monster who does not, etc. ), but offer no surprise. A fast-paced style, direct, film and functional. A mere entertainment. It's not like I hate somewhere the spiritual heir of hunger games. No. Not by a long shot. There's nothing hardness, ambiguity, depth, character work and polyhedral Masterpiece by Suzanne Collins (of which one of these days I'll talk, but there are so many things to say and I never dare ...). It is a novel flat, with flat characters and a huge zero originality and inventiveness. Everything we read and what we have read or seen on The Star Wars (with an almost modeled in the pupil / teacher), Final Fantasy , Superman, Matrix , Marvel comics and, above all, Dark City, one of the most influential films of contemporary science fiction. Powers, explosions and bad. "Tall, pale, with hats and coats?

We, like these.

And some more. Four is special, four falls, four masters his powers, four fights bad guys in a final battle full of cakes, explosions and monsters that ends up being exaggerated, not credible and full of clichés. Novel

popcorn with all that implies gender. To eat, be entertained and forget.
