Forced to become... ( www.novelsontherun.blogspot.com )
I really enjoyed this book the third in the four book series. Scott Westerfeld was supposed to stop at his trilogy and then wrote another book titled , 'Extra's'.
Shay , Zane, Tally, David , Andrew Simpson Smith and Dr Cable are some of the characters back in 'Specials'.
This book starts of with action and finishes with action. Souped up Hoverboards , Smokeys, Cutters, Special Circumstances, Pretties, it's all here.
Tally's character just keeps evolving, Shay, I just love as you want to hate her but I can't bring myself to. Tally still has that sometimes annoying character where she keeps stuffing up with everybody around her but eventually does the right thing. I have to feel sorry for Tally because her life has become forced upon her and she must try and find her way back. Scott makes you feel these 2 characters very well. Shay and her love/hate relationship with Tally. I would have liked to read more of David as I enjoyed his character. Andrew Simpson Smith has always had me wondering about his name, I am intrigued how this guy had a name like that in this book , yet by now we know he is one of the experimental villagers. His character name is quite out of left wing, or am I missing something? I don't thing I understood totally Andrew's reason for being more educated and well not so savage as the villagers.
I felt so sad when one of my fave characters was killed off , I personally saw such potential in keeping the character, but Scott did what he felt he had to do, you will feel the loss.
In 'Specials' all is not what it seems, times are a changing, people are a changing and you don't see some things coming until POW!! they hit you. Is their world coming full circle?
Scott Westerfeld has a wonderful imagination, melding environmental , political and social issues all into a great YA series. It does kinda make you stop and think! by Michelle Auricht
