it was ok

Okay, this is the very LAST book I am going to read by Scott Westerfeld! I love his dystopic world in the future with all the imaginative people and ways to be. His mysteries and conflicts which send the protagonists, whether they are uglies, pretties, specials, or extras, are quite exciting and keep you reading to see the solution. But the last two books, Specials and Extras, have now put him into the writing genre of Eco-Novelist. His message of it would be better to change your body to a zero gravity atmosphere and send yourself into an endless orbit around the earth, so that the earth can be preserved from any more ravages from humans, IS RIDICULOUS. SIMPLY RIDICULOUS. He just lost me forever on this one. So the Extras are not the Japanese kids, but the Extra-terrestrials who are his real heroes here, trying to save the planet from man. Furthermore, his message reflects very thoroughly an atheist viewpoint that there is no kind Heavenly Father, creator of the earth and more, who placed humans here to till and take care of the earth. Once again, as I've said before, he values the earth more than people, and that is just bass-ackwards. So Mr. Eco-novelist, I'm out! This would be a stupid movie.

Kristi I am glad I am not the only one who saw this series as the way to get out his anti-human,Save The Earth message.
