Specials
carries on the story from the previous two books with the exact same energy, great characters and awesome plot! Westerfeld has a way of descibing things that while not too fancy, makes you really able to imagine every little detail. By this, the third book of the series, the characters seem like old friends and make you really care what happens to them, although I have to admit Shay was starting to annoy me some what in her jealousy of Tally's feelings for Zane - however, this is pretty typical behaviour for a girl her age I'd imagine.The book throws you straight into the action and doesn't stop until the end making it an exciting page turning read. Highly recommended but read the other two first.
