Publisher's summary

This program also contains seven bonus radio transmissions from Pittacus Lore!

Until the day I met John Smith, Number Four, I'd been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive.

Together, we are much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate to find the others....

I went to Spain to find Seven, and I found even more, including a tenth member of the Garde who escaped from Lorien alive. Ella is younger than the rest of us, but just as brave. Now we're looking for the others - including John.

But so are they.

They caught Number One in Malaysia.

Number Two in England.

And Number Three in Kenya.

They caught me in New York - but I escaped.

I am Number Six.

They want to finish what they started.

But they'll have to fight us first.

Entertaining

If you could sum up The Rise of Nine in three words, what would they be?

Entertaining, interesting, engaging

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

my favorite character was Ella. Even though she is just being introduced I found her character interesting and wanted to follow her growth.

Any additional comments?

I did enjoy this book but the characters sometimes took a long time to recognize the obvious. Even allowing for the age of the characters it sometimes seemed ridiculous that they did not see things in front of them.

Great story!

If you could sum up The Rise of Nine in three words, what would they be?

Kept me going

What other book might you compare The Rise of Nine to and why?

This was an interesting read. I didn't really want to stop listening to it. It has to have an ending. What's going to happen to these kids? And there still one kid missing. So there must be another book in the making. Until then, I have no chose but to keep waiting.

It was over before I knew it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'd recommend this series to a friend because it is very entertaining. When I got to the end of the book I couldn't believe I had already finished 10 hours of listening. It just flew bye. I was totally immersed in the author's world.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character, by far, Bernie Kosar. He's every childs dream! A loyal companion that can turn into an alien killing beast.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

I particularly like the narrators' ability to make you feel the emotions the author is trying to convey.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did, without even planning to. Started at work, on the commute home, and then finished it up at home, flew bye.

Still blowing me away.

Had me on the edge of my seat right to the very end. Great charecter combos all around in this. 9 + 4, if you know, you know.

Great book but ending performance was painful

Loved the book save for the end "recording". I think they could have used a better technique and one that did not hurt your ears or strain to make out the words.

Read

This book is unpredictable and exciting. Although some characters are annoying and utterly useless like Sarah Heart.

Best of the series, so far.

This one is my favorite so far. The story comes together well and the transition between the various characters was very well done.
