I LOVED this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
 The Rise of Nine. Catchy title for an awesome book, right? The Rise of Nine's main character if Number Four, also known as John Smith. This book takes place all around the world: West Virginia, New Mexico, India, England, and Chicago. 
 The main conflict of this book: It's time to gather the rest of the Gaurde. I'm guessing I spelt Gaurde wrong. Their enemy, the Mogs, are gathering and planning their death. They don't plan to die without a fight. 
 Nine....is a meatcake. :P But he's pretty cool. I loved his witty remarks, but he was frustrating at times. For one, (view spoiler)[he fought Four! He threatened to drop him off a building! (hide spoiler)] Two, he's not very cooperative. He goes looking for trouble. 
 Four was amazing. As always! :D His visions were cool to read. He's a good character to have in a book, even if he can be stubborn. But hey! Everyone's stubborn once in a while! But seriously? Still Sarah? After what she did to you in the last book? I have very mixed feelings for that girl, but nonetheless, I'm happy you're with her. 
 Six. Six, six six....YOU KICK BUTT GIRL!!!!!!!!!!! She's. AWESOME. 
 Enough said. 
 I loved the action scenes. The ending was my favorite part of the book. Biggest. Action. Scene. EVER! LOVED IT! I also noticed something....The author put himself in the book! I would totally do that! Lol moment. 
 Parts I didn't like were, well, when the book was in India. It was cool I guess, but they weren't my favorite. :( Don't why. They just weren't. 
 I recommend to ages 11-Adult, middle school and up, and people who have already started this series.
