Title: Specials
Author: Scott Westerfeld
Star Rating: 4/5 stars

This is the third and last book of the trilogy (although not the last book of the series because Extras is still out there. I haven't decided whether I'll read it yet though.)

Tally still frustrated me. Although she's the main character, I can honestly say she's not the easiest to relate to. At times I feel like she should just stop being so annoying. There wasn't a lot involving other characters in this book, it was mainly about her. Which the specials are brainwashed to only think of herself, it is very apparent how self-centered she became.

I did give the book 4/5 stars because Scott Westerfeld has a beautiful way of writing. Tally wasn't the greatest main character, but his writing and plot where interesting and unique enough that that's the only thing I really disliked about the book.

I thought Shay was still the most "icy" character. Zane deserved so much more than Tally could see. David wasn't as prominent as I thought he would have been (but it has been awhile since I read pretties and uglies) so that might just be the time lapse causing my brain to mix things up a bit.

In terms of recommendations, I'd recommend the series based on plot and his writing But based on characters, I still felt Shay was more interesting and and Tally was a bit on the annoying side.

I chose not to do any memorable moments from this book so it's just the review today.
