I Am Number Four discussion

“I Am Number Four” tells a story about about 6 individuals from an alien planet and their unique lives on earth. While on earth, another alien species called the Mogadorians are in a battle to hunt each of these beings down, essentially killing off their existence on earth. This forces them to keep a low profile in hopes they won’t be found and killed. Throughout the book, you read from the perspective of the fourth Loric in line (in case the title didn’t make any sense to you) who calls himself John Smith. You will read about his experiences on attempting to survive on earth, now that he is next in line to be hunted. Having read this book after watching the movie adaptation, I can say for sure that this book is much better than the movie counterpart. Reading this book was an enjoyable experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves fiction as much as I do. The way this book is written won’t fail to keep you engaged and it won’t feel as if reading this will take you forever. This book exceeded my expectations for this reason, I expected this book to be kind of boring and not necessarily the most interesting thing in the world. If you’re thinking these same things, I’m willing to argue that this book does a really good job in remaining interesting through suspense and leaving you with many questions that need answers. Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who wants something to get back into enjoying free reading.

I have read the first book in this series, but I have a question. Who are the man and the boy mentioned in the first few pages? Are they number three and his Cepan? Please answer me, I am confused.
