In the third book of the Uglies series, Tally Youngblood has been made into a Special--a virtually unbeatable, unbreakable law enforcer who likes to bend the laws herself. When her plan to rescue her former boyfriend Zane goes awry, Tally finds herself challenging her entire civilization once again.

I know this series is popular with a lot of readers; for me, though, this book didn't have what I was looking for. While the premise is good, the ending just left too much open for me to be wholly satisfied. I enjoyed Uglies, but I feel the series went downhill from there. Still, readers who enjoy dystopias and Westerfeld's other books might like this one.
