Specials, by Scott Westerfeld
Rating:4 stars
Tally's friend Shay has turned her into a Special. Specials are pretty much superhuman. Their senses are 1,000 times stronger than a normal human,and super fast. They are pretty,but in a terrifying way that sends shivers down everyone's back that see them. Tally remembers being a rebel Ugly and the reason why. But now Tally knows that this secret is here to protect humanity. Now it's her that fights the rebels and almost always wins single handedly. There's only one problem with this life. Her boyfriend,Zane,was not turned into a Special,and Tally cannot look into his pretty face without being disgusted. She and Shay create a plan that will make Zane impossible to deny as Special material. But the plan goes wrong with a security breach and Tally's world think a neighbouring area is starting war. Realizing her mistake,Tally travels to San Diego,where people can go through any surgery they want. With some more Special arrivals (get it?) San Diego thinks the Specials are too dangerous and must go through a surgery to remove their powers. They even remove the creator of the Specials,one herself. Tally is the last to be transformed back,but she escapes. The book ends here with a large cliffhanger!
This book was a bit slower than her sister's. The plot goes slowly at some parts,but at other's,there are huge plot twists! The book itself is interesting,with high speed chases and brutal defeats. Each chapter leaves you wanting more. I think that this world is very interesting,and if I had multiple lives,I would spend one here. this left me wondering what I would be,so I took an online test:Ugly,Pretty,Smokie,or Special? The results say I'm a Pretty,so my life here wouldn’t be as interesting as,say,Tally's,but the test says I'll enjoy it!
