Specials - Scott Westerfeld



“Tally thought they were a rumour, but now she’s one of them. A Special. A super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid.

But maybe being perfectly programmed with strength and focus isn’t better than anything she’s ever known. Tally still has memories of something else.

But is’s easy for her to tune that out – until she’s offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heart-beat, or carry out the mission she’s been programmed to complete. Either way, Tally’s world will never be the same.”









5/5 - Simply Amazing

This is one of those books that just takes my breath away.

It makes my head spin to think of all three books as a whole and see how these characters have grown, changed, and developed. Westerfeld has truly brought Tally and Shay to life. Specials blew my expectations out of the water with this exciting, enthralling, thought provoking third book. It was full of action that had me holding my breath with unexpected twists and turns that kept me guessing how the book was going to end.

The end of the book was simply spectacular - a true work of art. The closure this book provides leaves me with so many emotions all tangled up, but very, very content. This is one of those books that will keep me thinking for weeks on end about the true meanings of beauty, friendship, love, betrayal, and being yourself. 

This book is an original masterpiece that is out of this world, full of creativity that brings me into an entirely different world full of danger, excitement, and truly special circumstances where things are never as they seem.
