Specials (book 3 of the Uglies series)

Scott Westerfeld's Specials is a continuation of the first book Uglies. This book was full of action and technology, all mixed together with its *pre-rusty ways and its technological advances of the post apocalyptic world.

This book in my opinion was some what amazing and pointless at the same time. It was boring and pointless at the beginning and the middle but soon began unraveling at the end. I love this book however, because of how westerfeld's secret messages that I understood. He used different problems that we have today and placed them in this perfect world that's beginning to crumble.

This book is all about Tally Youngblood an ugly turned pretty turned special. This book focuses on Tally's struggle as a special. She has been constantly "rewritten" threw out her life. So this book starts out with her trying to free her love interest Zane from new pretty town and how she is trying to adjust to life as a surgically improved deadly dangerous weapon of destruction. I'm going to skip the boring parts of the story (which there is more then I would have liked). But the story continues as she follows the newly freed Zane to the New Smoke. A rebellious civilization trying to bring down the system of uglies and pretties. She soon discovers shes all part of an evil plot to over take a city not playing by the rules of an evil Hitler dictator. one mistake after another she causes a war between cities (which isn't supposed to happen since everything is perfect). This is a major point in the story so I'll end here and let your imagination run wild (or you could just pick up the book and find out).

But all in all this book is a great at some points and bad at others. But this is an amazing series and if I were you I would pick up the first book Uglies and start reading. B+
