I was so excited to read Extras because I have loved Westerfeld’s series. I just couldn’t go out and buy the hardcover, so I waited until my library bought it and stole it home for a night. And, it didn’t let me down. Within a day, I had read it cover to cover and gobbled it up. The Japanese-themed world where Aya and Hiro and the others lived was genius and successfully played out in this manga and anime-crazed kid world. Beautifully done!

I’ve talked already about some author’s whose books I await and who I love. Scott Westerfeld’s science fiction series is among those that I waited for also! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Specials, the third installment of Tally’s experiences in the enchanting world of being a pretty– or trying to break free of it’s clutches. I’ve also seen many schools adopt Uglies, the first book, as a school-wide read to teach tolerance among other themes. And the second book that connects the aforementioned Uglies and Specials? You guessed it, Pretties. Maybe it’s Westerfeld’s easy style, but there’s just something about it…
