2.5 stars on Booklikes; rounded down to 2 stars on Goodreads. I will be writing one big review for the entire series once I've finished Extras, which I started just this morning (January 3, 2020). Although I've shelved the audio versions for all the books, I've actually been going back and forth ...

Going on with my re-read of this series because it had been a while. I am really happy I continued on with it, but I did not enjoyed it as much as the first time I read it (just like Uglies and Pretties). I think that Tally is really an annoying character and I don’t like her. I know that people hav...

I have such mixed emotions about this book. It was originally supposed to be the final book in a trilogy, although there is now a fourth book in which Tally appears as a non-central character. So, even though this ended up not being the final book, it is really the final book in which Tally is foref...

What I really admire about this series is that it shows most of the point of views of the world within one character. In Specials Tally is, you guessed it, a Special. The only point of view not covered is the older pretties and the little kids, so it shows the problem with this dystopian world, and ...

Très très chouette fin pour cette trilogie. Dynamique, haletante, extrêmement bien rythmée, très dur à lâcher à vrai dire.Globalement concernant la série c'est une belle surprise. Il m'a fallu du temps pour la démarrer, principalement à cause des titres et couvertures qui laissaient présager un roma...

UGLIES When everyone turns sixteen they change from ugly to pretty by means of advanced surgery. These new pretties are shallow and party all the time in New Pretty Town. Tally is almost sixteen and can’t wait until it’s finally her turn to be pretty. Tally’s best friend turned before her and no...

Scott Westerfeld's style of writting is not particularly captivating. As a said in Pretties review, he writes in a progresive way, from really boring slow chapters to the final ones, the only ones I can call engaging at some level.All in all, I think Specials is a good conclusion to the series. Some...

I read this book about a year ago so I'm reviewing it from what i remember sorry for the vagueness I think this should have been the last one in the series. I feel it tied everything together. The specials show a harder side of tally and the cruelty of society they live in. Tally has become a ...

Book | Series | Author ***** Tally Youngblood opened her eyes as someone else once again in Specials and this time, she's not just different, she's cruelly beautiful and dangerous. Tally has become a part of Dr. Cable's special batch of sixteen year old Specials, the Cutters. Tally has become so...

This is the third in a series of four books that began with Uglies and continued in Pretties. For almost all of the book--until the last two pages in fact, this was a five star book, even better than the first. A terrific ride, an e-ticket, this gets to a faster, more exciting start than the first t...
