Have you ever cleaned your room/closet and decided to donate your excess clothes to charity? Maybe it was a mother-ordered mandate to get rid of the clutter? Whatever the reason or inspiration, did you ever give away something you didn't really mean to give? What would you do to get it back?

Ok, to all the people that think this book sucks, are totally WRONG! This book is awesome, I have read all 4 books from Bella's point of veiw. And I can't wait for the next four but from Edward's point of veiw to come out. If you like romance,action, and fanasty then this book is for you! I think ...

Extra Good
+ Different Place, Different Time, Still Great
Pros: An original, believable concept, great characters.
Cons: Ending is a bit of a let down.
I was a bit reluctant to read this book, as I thought that Westerfield's last attempt, Specials, was the weakest in the series. Nevertheless, I am a fan of the series in general and when I saw this ...

Once I first read the summary and description of the book I automatically captured it as an amazing book that I needed to go pick up immediately. Of course, time passed and I soon forgot, but when I reminisced about it and conveniently found it at a book store at Santa Monica beach, I purchased it ...

Formulaic romp
+ Science Fiction? or Real Possibility?
Just reread this book and found it holds up well after 25 years. Twenty-five years! Holy cow! It is a familiar formula that we have often seen in books and movies. A small intrepid and isolated band of humans, some not so intrepid, have to survive against an unknown and seemingly all powerful ...

Girlfriend made me read it...
+ Amazing!
+ Not as good, but needed
I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.

After seeing this book only received 3 1/2 stars, I decided not to buy it. My friend later recommeded the book. I loved it! I read it in an afternoon. I don't know what some of these 1 & 2 stars were for...? I thought it was a great read!

Ever since the first book(Uglies), I have loved Tally. I love how she can always be herself and escape what other people try to force her into being. They can't force her to look a certain way or be a bubblehead. She chose that on her own, to help her friend, Shay. This book, Specials, kind of ...
