Specials by Scott Westerfeld

For me, this book went too far. Tally, after fighting her way out of being a Bubbleheaded Pretty by just using her mind and not taking medication, undergoes another operation and becomes a Special where she has her brain medically altered once again undergoing BrainSurg (Brain surgery) along with radical body surgery where she is a lethal fighting machine thinking she's super special and more than most people. She ends up being disgusted by her old boyfriend because he is so weak and suffering from brain damage for taking the wrong pill whose nanos eat his brain away. She still loves him though and follows him through an attempted escape from the town in which they live.

As with all the books so far, I find myself being entertained by the story line and I keep on reading. As with all the novels, this book reminds me of Catching Fire a little bit, but this particular one reminds me the most of that novel as it is highly packed action.

I would give this a 6/10. I was turned off by the surgery she underwent.
