Reader reviewed by Beth
The Specials is the third and final book in the Uglies Trilogy. In it, Tally is once again saving the city, but this time as a Special Circumstances agent. She has a new face and new beliefs about the Smokies-mainly that they are very dangerous and should be destroyed. Her friendship with Shay continues to be love/hate throughout most of the book, but by the end, Tally realizes who is really important in her life and what is important.
Good story, but I am still trying to decide if Scott Westerdfield (the author) had any sort of moral agenda or not. The book discussions issues such as cutting, believing that others should be treated badly because they are ugly, and acceptance of all people. Is it just a story, or should I be reading more into it? Over all, it was a great trilogy-the premise was just so different that anything else I have read and I am looking forward to reading other books by this author.
