A review by rockbison
Extras by Scott Westerfeld
4.0
I really liked this book, however I did not quite enjoy the "narrator" (Aya) and all the vocabulary and bubble-headedness of this "future".
I love David and will always love him and even with Tally doing stupid things again and again you can see how much she changed since Specials (and because of everything that happened back in there).
Aya is a great character, but just like Tally, back when she was ugly, she is just another city-minded and this make everything get bored at first sight. But with the plot twists, thing get better, a lot better.
I admit that I only enjoyed the book after Tally's ping. Before I was just comparing each person from Aya's life with the others from Tally's life. Like: Tally = Aya; Hiro + Ren = Peris...
***Spoiler: I didn't liked the way Scott defined David and Tally's relationship in the end(as "it's complicated"), I would prefer a "we're together, finally!"***
So, this is me trying to say: "It's a great book, even if gets boring in the beginning, the grand finale is really overwhelming, and exciting."
P.s.: Sorry for my English.
