becca_osborn 's review for:

Specials by Scott Westerfeld
2.0

Predictable.

Unsure about the "ending" - maybe the fourth book clears it up? Honestly, I'm undecided if I'll read it.

The plot was excellent, but felt rushed. Maybe he didn't know for sure how much longer the series would stretch, which I imagine is a typical problem with YA lit. While I did like what Westerfield was doing with this series, I feel the writing could have been better.

Questions: Why did she become special? Why did she become a cutter? I didn't pick up on this reasoning.
