I never like Sarah's character because I find her too sweet, weak and easily smitten to John/Four. And this journal of hers proves my first impressions on her. Didn't like her then, and I still don't like her now either will on the ending of the series.

Sarah siempre sera el personaje que menos me gusto en la saga, honestamente agradecí el final que tuvo jajaja

Este archivo perdido sobre Sarah, no aporta nada nuevo, en realidad no aporta nada a la historia, nos encontraremos con su versión sobre la relación con Cuatro, sus expectativas y sus miedos. Como lo he dicho en ocasiones anteriores ella nunca me cayó bien. Si por mi fuera el personaje no existiría en la historia. Decidí darle una oportunidad debido a que solo eran 12 paginas al archivo perdido. Si no leen este archivo no se pierden de nada.

Short and quick. Not a must read for me, but it's only 5 pages so I guess it wouldn't hurt. I still feel lukewarm about Sarah's character. I don't hate her, but I don't love her as well. Although, I wish there were more pages in her journal, or at least I wish her journal actually talked about things that were more interesting--like what she thought about the entire Lorien vs Mogadorian thing, or what ran through her mind after John's told her the truth about him being a Garde member, things like that. Overall, it was just an okay read for me.

It's always nice to read things from other perspectives, but it doesn't actually add much

[Tessa · Rating 1 out of 5]

OK, seriously, I only read this because it's part of the Lorien Legacies. I really do not like this chick AT ALL. And whatever comes next shows how much.

Her journal entries are so unbelievably inane that I don't even know what else to say. She's just so hypocritical, honestly. She's trying to sound nice but she just comes off as someone who thinks she's better than everyone else.

I'd rate it 0 stars if I could, simply because I'm biased. The entire thing just annoyed me to no end.

Oh, FYI, you can find it here, to those who want to stomach reading it.

Full review to come!

[Susy · Rating 3 out of 5]

No aporta nada a la historia de los lorien, no es necesario que sea leído, es una lectura cortita y narrada desde el punto de vista de Sarah resaltando sus inquietudes hacia los nuevos habitantes que llegaron a Paradise.

[Daniela G. · Rating 1 out of 5]

Después de leer "Soy el número cuatro" este extra me pareció totalmente innecesario, sinceramente. No aporta nada, sino que retrocede a narrar, desde la perspectiva de Sarah, momentos que ya quedaron atrás.

[Emi.acg · Rating 2 out of 5]

Me dejo con gusto a poco, solo 5 págs. :c al menos no fue como otros libros donde cuentan exactamente lo mismo solo que desde la visión de otro personaje. Acá fue a través de un diario, contando como se sintió ella en algunas escenas destacadas. Excepto la del final.

[Paola C · Rating 2 out of 5]

Son entradas cortas del diario de Sarah que no aportan nada a la trama y no dan información nueva. Son pocas páginas y resulta prescindible para la saga.

[Todd · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an unexpected little treat. I didn't even know it existed until after I read “the rise of nine". The journals are found on the book's website and are not available on ebook format - FYI.

The journal shows Sarah's perspective from the first several times she meets with John Smith in “I am Number Four". Although I didn't really think of her character much during that book, I have since wondered what her perspective might have been since her loyalties had been severely questioned with the whole FBI sting, that she may or may not have been involved with, which resulted in trouble for Number Four.

I feel like I should explain the ★★★ stars. This entire series is worth five stars easily. But this really could have been expanded on a little more, like a full Lost Files novella? But, three stars means “I like it".. which is the level that fits, in my opinion.

Anyway, there are only five journal entries (so far that I could see) and they're pretty short so this is quite an easy indulgence if any of you are curious.

[Billie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Such. A. Boring. Read.

1. You do not need to read this to continue with the series.
2. If you insist, sure, go ahead and read. But remember this is Sarah's journal you're reading.
3. Like I said, Sarah's journal; (personally) not a journal I want to read.
Not because I dislike her but because she's simply not interesting enough. Sadly.

[Nancy The book junkie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice little insight of what's going on in Sarah's head when she met and became close to John during I am number 4. Would have liked to read more, mostly about after she learn John's secret!

[Estela · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't know if I'm being such a hater or all Sarah's Journal consist of nonsense. I don't know, I'm just never a fan of her.

It's ok...

It's need to more story.... >,>

[Jerecho · Rating 3 out of 5]

Went to peek... Yeah! It's Sarah's journal...

[Harumichi Mizuki · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hanya ada 5 halaman! Kukira isinya apaan. Cuma curhatannya Sarah setelah dia putus dari Mark, ngerasa tersesat, dan memutuskan belajar fotografi, sampai ketika akhirnya dia ketemu John Smith dan berusaha memahami cowok itu. Events seperti saat dia dan John dikerjain gerombolan Mark waktu Halloween, event waktu dia masak buat John dan Henri, semua sudah ada di buku I'm Number Four. Jadi buku ini fungsinya apaaaah? XD

Semacam brainstorming penulis buat eksplorasi karakter Sarah terus akhirnya beneran diterbitkan gitu? Diselipin jadi bonus di bukunya? XD

Ya udah lah, buat koleksi wae. Now berburu yang lain. Hihuy! Bismillah.

As the title states, these are five short diary entries in Sarah's journal, where we get a glimpse of a few events from the first book through Sarah's eyes.

I'd read those before but hadn't logged them then for some reason. They are not necessary to the story, but give a bit more insight into Sarah's feelings when she first met John.

Este archivo no aporta nada a la historia incluso es pero que el de Sam y por esa la calificación. En libros de romance sí que me interesa tener dos puntos de vista pero en este caso no era necesario, además de que el personaje de Sarah no termina de convencerme.

Los momentos que aquí se describen transcurren durante el primer libro y solo nos cuenta de cómo terminó enamorándose del chico nuevo y misterioso de la escuela.

Y tal como me pasó con el diario de Sam esperaba que nos contara su experiencia después de que Sam la dejara y los hechos que transcurren en los tres libros siguientes.

00/100.

Sé que es solo un bonus de cinco páginas en Los archivos perdidos de la saga de Los legados de Lorien, pero ¿de verdad era necesario escribir estas cinco páginas? No valen absolutamente para nada. He perdido unos cuantos minutos leyendo la perspectiva (anodina) de un personaje que se me antojaba más interesante en el primer libro de la saga principal. Imagino que las personas detrás de Pittacus Lore no saben escribir desde la perspectiva de una mujer (¿de verdad solo sabe hablar de chicos? El test de Bechdel suspendidísimo).

[Andrea · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didn't see much point to these 5 pages. Sarah's perspective didn't add anything to the story. We could already assume she felt this way in each of the scenes from the narration and John's interpretations, thoughts, and worries of how he was being perceived. It wasn't really worth the time to try to find these and them struggle through reading blurry blown-up images of curly text.

[Kaine · Rating 2 out of 5]

Yes, like many, Sarah is not a character that I like. I think it's annoying and a hindrance to John Smith. Unlike "Sam's Journal", I didn't expect to see anything in this one. Most of the story details events we saw in the first novel, such as Sarah's meeting with John or the time she invited him to her house for dinner. All sweetened with an air of romanticism exaggerated and ridiculous.

[Rayyan · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's meh, Sarah ain't important to me and she wasn't important to the original co-author's storyline either (books 1-3) and only had a bigger role in The Fall of Five when there was a new co-author. Whole thing with Sarah seems inconsistent and just thrown together. Also the relationship between her and Four is just shallow and wouldn't have happened if they both weren't hot lmao.

[Linda Hamonou · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sarah's version of the even in "I am number four". This book is a bit useless.
Honestly there isn't much of Sarah's voice even though it's her diary and the writing is a lot more factual that what an teenager would write.

[Juan Quiroga · Rating 3 out of 5]

Completamente innecesario, es YO SOY EL NUMERO CUATRO desde el punto de vista de Sarah en los momentos mas significativos para ella. Sirve como complemento pero no es indispensable leerlo. Además, solo está en inglés.

[Fraan♪ · Rating 1 out of 5]

A pesar de que me gusta Sara y es entretenido leer desde la perspectiva de otro personaje algo que ya leímos.

Pero no entrega nada de información nueva, simplemente podría no haberlo leído y estaría igual que antes
