Specials (Uglies Trilogy, Book 3) (edició 2006)

Una serie da riscoprire e adatta ad un pubblico adlescenziale in cerca di contenuti validi. ( )

Third book in the series. It is pretty much the same story as the first 2 books in yet another guise, but still fun for a vacation read. This time, our heroine has become an Extra, with superhuman strength, hyper-senses, and built-in connection with her troop of "ultimate warriors". With her boyfriend lost to her, she tries to focus on her job and new life, but new information rocks her world again, unlocking new battles, both internal and external. ( )

I like the idea of these books, but this one was just not as good as the first two were. The same ideas and events seemed to recur as did in the second book. It wasn't until about 200 pages in did something interesting and different take place. There were also several instances of which were very confusing as to what was happening. ( )

I had to abandon this due to boredom. I just don't really care where the story goes at this point, nor do I like the protagonist. Uglies and Pretties were quite enjoyable and quick reads, but this one just didn't work for me. A bit too predictable and too much moping by the protagonist. Moving on because because there are so many other great books to read instead. I'd still recommend the series but just didn't see the need to finish it.

"Den tredje delen om Snyggingar i en cynisk och ytlig framtid, är troligen Scott Westerfelds hittills otäckaste bok.

Tally har nu blivit en Cutter, en speciell gren av "Särskilda omständigheter". Hon har nu kraftigt förstärkta sinnen och hennes kropp är resitent mot alla tänkbara åkommor. Tallys kompis Shay vilken är ledare för "Cutters" tar med henne på ett party för fulingar. Syftet med besöket är att maskerade, söka rätt på potentiella bråkmakare och beslagta nanofyllda piller. När Tally försöker gripa den Smokey som har pillren, blir hon tillfångatagen."
