A review by snwsandy
Extras by Scott Westerfeld

2.0

A fourth book in what was supposed to be a trilogy. I continued on even though I found the third book to be utterly horrible and disappointing. This one is better, but still not great. I liked that a whole new set of characters and scenery started of his book. It starts in Japan, but the author does not seem to tell you until half way through the book when the characters were referenced as talking in Japanese. You would think the author would give you a better idea at the beginning rather than in the middle. I also liked the dystopia that this society is solely driven by social media behaviors of those similar to YouTube. Once again the heroine is trying to be something in this dystopia, but finds other purpose. It would be a good story if there was better writing and less annoying characters. Also, more of the author's stupid slang that is relentlessly thrown at you to make you think is a child writing this book. Also, the heroine from the first three books shows up and she is super-annoying. Done with this series so now I can move onto others.
