Formulaic romp

+ Science Fiction? or Real Possibility?

Just reread this book and found it holds up well after 25 years. Twenty-five years! Holy cow! It is a familiar formula that we have often seen in books and movies. A small intrepid and isolated band of humans, some not so intrepid, have to survive against an unknown and seemingly all powerful ...

Girlfriend made me read it...

+ Amazing!
+ Not as good, but needed

I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.

Of course, time passed and I soon forgot, but when I reminisced about it and conveniently found it at a book store at Santa Monica beach, I purchased it ...

Ever since the first book(Uglies), I have loved Tally. I love how she can always be herself and escape what other people try to force her into being. They can't force her to look a certain way or be a bubblehead. She chose that on her own, to help her friend, Shay. This book, Specials, kind of ...

Pros: An original, believable concept, great characters. Cons: Ending is a bit of a let down. I was a bit reluctant to read this book, as I thought that Westerfield's last attempt, Specials, was the weakest in the series. Nevertheless, I am a fan of the series in general and when I saw this ...
