Summary {again from the back because I do like this summary}: Tally thought they were a rumor, but now she’s one of them. A Special. A super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. But maybe being perfectly programmed with strength and focus isn’t better than anything she’d ever known. Tally still has memories of something else. But it’s easy for her to tune that out—until she’s offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heart-beat, or carry you the mission she’s programmed to complete. Either way, Tally’s world will never be the same.
Review: This is my review before I go to Italy with a brain that has officially quit before APs.
Scott Westerfeld=100% Brilliant/Awesome
Uglies Series=<3
Specials=Made of awesomeness and kick-ass. Tally is a bit annoying at some points, but I’m assuming that a lot of her Special brain. Every scene just plays in my head when I read this book which means basically Westerfeld brings the book to life. It’s cool how people are cured and the noticeable difference in their looks like Tally says ‘Champagne without bubbles’
Zane and Tally factor=I didn’t really believe that Tally loved Zane, I don’t know but I couldn’t feel it. Westerfeld is great at bring out emotions and vivid images but I didn’t believe that Tally loved Zane. She was just holding on to the past, it seemed (maybe that’s on purpose?).
David and Tally=obviously meant to be. The relationship was so much better and real with them. The fact that she saw Zane as just some random and David not as an ugly but just as David proves that so easily. Tally just needs to see it a bit more, I think she still believes she loves Zane.
Rating of Book: 5/5 I liked it better than Pretties.
Reviews from the Pros:
“An exciting, well written, thought-provoking and engrossing futuristic trilogy.” –YOVA
Basically: read it! Well I’m off to Italy tomorrow for my spring break so hopefully I will be able to make some progress on my new book (City of Glass *squee!*)See ya in a week!
