Review of Specials

As I said before, I was very opposed to Tally becoming a Special-- I felt that it would change her. Obviously I had become too obsessed with appearances. Her appearances do not matter; I should have realized that she is still herself no matter what she looks like. Well, I guess I proved Westerfeld right, and we should not judge a person by his/her looks. Darn it.

I feel very far behind in reading this series, and I apologize for that. It is very interesting that I do not have much to say about this book-- I am sort of saddened actually-- this is an ending. A numb feeling tickles my being, and I feel myself incapable of describing how marvelous the book really is. Intense. Fast-paced. Depressing. Entrancing. Brilliant. All that jazz.

But, regretfully, I stop here. The book was great, but I do not have to tell you that. Anyway, what are the chances of you arriving at book three and refusing to read it? The very idea is ludicrous. So, have fun all of you captivated readers and remember this: whether rusty, ugly, pretty, or special-- the actual person is inside. Wow, that sounds clichéd.

Extras is up next and it better live up to its expectations. Though, why am I worrying anyway? His books always do.
