I AM NUMBER FOUR IS A RIP-OFF

It's my opinion that the movie I AM NUMBER IS A RIP-OFF OF KLYE XY a family channel series about a boy with super human powers who has to learn telekinesis, who has a guardian, but he is clone not an alien. They even a have a John Smith mentioned in season 2. However, what you don't know about I AM NUMBER FOUR– it’s my opinion I AM NUMBER FOUR IS a rip-off of an unnamed author who sent a manuscript off to a hundred literary agency and publishers in 2009. The unknown author may have been scammed into thinking they were sending their manuscript to a new publishing house instead of the con James Frey. Each plot is different but very similar. Frey's has nine aliens that are scattered around the world and being targeted one at a time. In the unnamed authors have six aliens that stay to together and are being hunted down by evil hybrid aliens. The bad aliens are described the same. The plot is different but the name of the main character, the town, the school. The background information about the female main character is the same, and both main characters wear an amulet signifying their families' legacy. I AM NUMBER FOUR IS written in a fifteen year old boy's point of view. The unnamed author's novel is in a seventeen year old girl's point of view. It’s a love story.

Some more thoughts to ponder: This novel was dedicated to the author's sons Jon and Mark...John and Mark are main characters, in "I Am Number Four.

In the manuscript, the Library of Congress has Sara is referenced to being a photographer... In theirs, she is a photographer too. Another rip off the Steeler banner. in "I am number four" John lifts it to find a secret door. In the unnamed author's manuscript, their alien main character lifts a wall tapestry revealing a secret door.






Same main female characters name, same town, and school name????? Not to mention a crystal, salt, the guardian. Is this a coincidence?
