Sepcials


Specials
by Scott Westerfeld
The third book in this series is even more intense. After being caught by Special Circumstances - they turn Tally into one of the Cutters, a new breed of Specials. But Zane was left behind and after taking the pill that killed the nanos he was starting to deteriorate. So Tally and Shay come up with a plan to get him out to the New smoke so they can make him better. That's where the adventure starts and I don't want to say too much about it but Tally is really special in so many ways she doesn't even realize it. It is a great continuation to the store and I'm off to find out what happens in the next book.
4 out of 5 stars.

Pretties

After I finished the first book in the series I had to go out and get the rest so this is the second book and it did not disappoint. Tally's adventures continued on as a Pretty now where she tries to remember her life in the smoke and what is right and what is wrong. She meets Zane the leader of the Crims who helps her find a letter of consent that she had sent herself to take the cure because being pretty comes at a price. Both take a pill thinking it will have the same affect but it doesn't and Tally gets them out to the smoke. It's a great adventure and one I would love to see on the big screen.
4 out of 5 stars.
