Specials was a great conclusion to the trilogy, and Extras is a sort-of companion novel with some new, and old, characters.

I had just received Specials when I saw your review, but have been caught up in unpacking, reading, getting my kids registered for school blah, blah, blah! Just didn't want you to think I forgot you!!<br /><br />Great review! I kind of had a concept of what the series was all about, now I know more. I love Scott Westerfeld. His blog, his books. I'll get to it soon!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843960750472345528.post-5548587967336698962011-07-13T08:59:25.938-07:002011-07-13T08:59:25.938-07:00I second the surprises!

It's sad to think that Tally's story is over, but I can't wait to read Extras :)T.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12326693692811570135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843960750472345528.post-38249023671140364282011-07-09T14:04:02.410-07:002011-07-09T14:04:02.410-07:00Specials is a great book and there were so many su...Specials is a great book and there were so many surprises in it that I could not believe. I really liked the ending because it seemed to me that the three versions of Tally came together to create her stance on the world.

All of Westerfeld's readers were so surprised when he decided to come out with another book in the Uglies series. Many of them were like, do you know what the definition of a trilogy is? Haha, I'm glad he wrote Extras though!<br /><br />Laura (All of Everything)- I definitely think you would enjoy these a second time around if you reread them ;p I've heard of the Skinned series and it looks SO GOOD! I could never find the first book though, but I'll definitely make sure to check them out. Thanks for the recommendation! :)<br /><br />Aylee- I hope you get a chance to read this one soon, and I think you would enjoy it!T.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12326693692811570135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843960750472345528.post-5252200590993377312011-07-08T18:39:58.086-07:002011-07-08T18:39:58.086-07:00I skimmed this review as I haven't read the se...I skimmed this review as I haven't read the series yet but it's so nice to hear you felt it was concluded well.

It's also set in a sort of futuristic society. If you liked the Uglies I think you'd like it!Laura (All of Everything)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11854775486921170991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843960750472345528.post-10202530706047199882011-07-08T09:02:11.836-07:002011-07-08T09:02:11.836-07:00Specials was probably my least favorite of the Ugl...Specials was probably my least favorite of the Uglies books (Extras doesn't count to me, lol).
