Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Kelby

I, like most devoted readers of the young adult genre, read the uglies series (uglies, pretties, specials) with complete hunger for the next book. The plot and characters created such issues and questions in the real world.

naturally, I went crazy when I found out that a fourth book was to be released, Extras.
I bought Extras and started reading.
At first, I found the book to go slowly and thought that I just needed to get into it.
however, as I read on, still excited and entranced by the other books, I found that Extras did not have the luster of the other three.

In fact, it was boring.

The characters leave something to be desired..what is it?...development???
yeah.
and Tally's appearence angered me, as it seemed to be all about her again. and she is NOT fun from someone else's point of view. It was predictable and boring.

overall, I found this book only got extremely high sales because people bought it looking for something to quench their thirst for uglies.
I don't think I'll be picking it up again.
