Specials by Scott Westerfeld

'Frighteningly beautiful.

Dangerously strong.

Breathtakingly fast.'

The series that I am, indeed, still working on. The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld certainly is a series that most people will thoroughly enjoy. I, for one, am enjoying them right now, although I cannot say whether or not I will enjoy the next book, Extras. However, Scott Westerfeld hasn't let me down so far...

A perfect book for any teen that liked the Divergent trilogy, Scott Westerfeld weaves a series about a girl who is testing the boundaries of her world. Revolutionary, sassy, and very dumb at some times, Tally makes an intriguing main character. 

This is the third book in the series: it goes Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and then Extras. I highly, actually I insist that you read the first book before you go on to the next books, as without the first book, you shall be utterly, irreversibly... lost. So, please don't read this review until you have read up to Pretties! Thanks!

Alright, going on~

Tally, our main character has been turned into a Special. A super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep uglies down and the pretties stupid. Yet something still nags at her-- her memories of something else. Yet it's such a small thing that she finds it easy to tune it out. That is, it's easy until she gets the chance to wipe out the rebels of the New Smoke. Permanently. She must make the choice whether to listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or to carry out the mission that has been programmed into her. Whichever choice she makes, Tally will never be the same again.

I recommend this book to teens who enjoys breathtaking action, dramatic suspense, and a good story to read. Scott Westerfeld really outdoes himself with this great book packed with action!

***I give this book a 8.99 out of 10!***
