A good book by Scott Westerfeld it's the third and last book in the highly acclaimed Uglies trilogy. I could not put this book down for anything it was permenently attached to my hand the whole time I was reading it and made eating and watching TV very difficult. I would recommend it to anyone whose into futuristic Sci-Fi type stories I really thought the authors take on where the future will lead was very interesting even though I may not completely agree with him but I liked the new technologies he thought up they were very interesting. I give this book a four out of five rating and very high "read again" ratio.

We all have our opinions, but I personally didn't like those books. I read them all through and I admire his creativity, but I just didn't like them for some reason. Tally's choices and everything that happened, I don't know... I have many friends who love them, but I really don't.

Have you read Extras? It's like the start of a new trilogy (I think), but it still deals with the same time/place of Tally, only after prettiness is, like, abolished. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN AT ALL LAST NIGHT! I was reading until 3 in the morning, and I only went to sleep because I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer Very Happy Needless to say, it's uber good.

I've actually heard of that series. But I haven't read it; though it did sound interesting.

I bought Extras but just haven't been able to read it yet! So many books so little time! I really want to read it though! I LOVE the way Scott Westerfeld writes, even if the story isn't good (which hasn't happened yet) I'll still like it because I LOVE him! lol

Good to know Extras will be good when it is I get around to reading it. If you like those books I'd recommend "The Midnighters" trilogy by him Bee, if you haven't read those yet. Very Happy

I haven't, and I'll take your recommendation. But you need to hurry up and read it, Trin, because I need someone to talk about it with!! It was AMAZING!!

*just read the plot summaries on wikipedia*

Sounds interesting. Poor Tally; her brain must be cooked from the inside out. o_O
