I didn't like this one as much as I liked the first three, but it was still enjoyable. It's interesting seeing how a city different from Tally's city responded to the changes. I also found it interesting how similar the reputation economy is to the influencers of today. Since this book was published in 2007, it seems almost like a prediction of Tik Tok. There were times where I felt the Japanese influence could've been better handled, as with Aya always talking about sushi as if that is the only thing Japanese people eat. Also, I wasn't sure if the timeline of events was totally accurate. Overall, I enjoyed the story and may check out Westerfeld's other novels that take place in the same universe.… (més)

A thrilling third book in the Uglies series. I will admit, I sometimes got frustrated with this version of Tally's single mindedness. I was glad to see a return of pre-Pretty Shay and the continued insistence of informed consent for the procedures. This would've been the perfect ending to the series, but I am excited to read Extras to see how different the world is in the years after the events of the Specials.

I was right about the worldbuilding expanding in future novels. I like how complex everything is getting, and how Tally is coming to understand that neither side is 100% right. I liked Tally and Zane's relationship, but the love triangle is a little meh. I will give it grace seeing how these books were published in 2005, long before certain famous books over did the love triangle.

There was some language used that I also wasn't a fan of. I will give it a partial pass, again because of when the novel was written, but since I'm reading original editions, I'm curious if the language was changed in future editions.… (més)

Even though the plot was a little predictable, I found this book to be the perfect start to the series. I enjoyed watching the changes Tally goes though, and can't wait to read the next book. The worldbuilding is super interesting, and I'm excited to see how it's built upon in the future stories.
