Weak-kneed Wednesdays: Number Four

Although I’d never judge someone by the colour of their hair–I believe judging anyone says more about you than it does about them–only 20% of my boyfriends have been blond. (That’s 1 in 5 in case you’re wondering.)

So I found myself surprised to have my eye taken by Number Four, the alien on the run in I Am Number Four.

He’s hiding from his race’s mortal enemies who have tracked him and the other Numbers (there are nine in total). The Numbers can only be killed in numerical order. Number Three has been killed so Number Four knows he’s next.

He dyes his hair blond when he changes his identity yet again in order to cover his tracks.

Things start to get complicated when he falls for a good woman who has dreams far bigger than the town he’s picked to hide in.

Tired of running, Number Four attempts to create a life for himself and it’s this decision that attracts me to him. He’s willing to reevaluate his life and his mission to be with the woman he loves, despite the very real danger it puts him in. To me, that puts him firmly in the keeper category.

I’d just keep him away from the peroxide in the future
