Extras (Uglies, #4)

You know this book started out okay but it quickly went down hill. I was actually annoyed to see Tally in this one and her attitude. I mean this book was not about her so I don't understand why she HAD to be in it. I didn't like how she was portrayed at all. I also quickly got annoyed at Aya.
The Uglies series was my first exposure to Westerfeld and though I really liked Uglies and liked Pretties and pretty much liked Specials I gotta say i'm noticing a pattern with his characters. They all want something superficial and they strive (like with Tally) and are willing to sell out people to get it. Grant it most of the times (not with Extras though) the characters realize that they were wrong in wanting the superficial. But it's annoying. And this book especially showed it's age group that was targeted. It was really not a good book and I would not recommend it at all.

Ummm... You know i think so. The first one was really good. The second not as great but still good. The 3rd was good but troubling. In the 3rd book (specials) the character changes so much that it takes a long time to get used to, but it's still pretty good. This book (extras) was just terrible though. It wasn't about the main characters of the other books it was 3 years after specials and what happend in that one and it just... God, it just sucked honestly... So in a very round about way i say yes to the first book and kind of to the other books. hahahaha...
I think this book was really good, but I also wasn't very satisfied with Tally in this book. I do recommend reading it although the second part of the book did not go with the first AT ALL
