"Extras" by Scott Westerfeld


Warning: This is the fourth and final book of the Uglies Series. If you haven't read the first three books you may not want to read this.


Extras by Scott Westerfeld was probably my favorite book in this young adult, dystopian series. It had a lot of action and suspense like the previous books, and it doesn't really leave you hanging. It was the perfect ending; It was complete.

This book takes place a few years after Tally Young blood sets the world free. We're seeing the new world through Aya Fuse's eyes. The only thing fifteen year old Aya wants is to get a higher face rank like her brother. After all being popular is all the matters now. She's been kicking stories for quite some time, but none are good enough to make her rank budge, until she meets the sly girls. She joins their secret clique with intentions of exposing them, and proving they are not just a rumor, but then she and the sly girls uncover something sinister. Aya's story gets a lot more complicated. Some where along the lines of the end of the world complicated. Exposing the threat, leads to Aya getting abducted and that brings Tally Youngblood out of hiding. It's a timed race to save the world, or so they think. Can they really work as a team or will their be constant conflict?

This was definitely my favorite book out of the series. The only sad thing was that Tally was no longer the main character, and I don't really like the person she has become. Realistically though, I guess that would happen after people messed with your brain a gazillion times. I didn't really see the ending coming. I was like oh  these people are bad, wait good, no bad again. It kept me questioning their intentions. Kept me on my toes. It truly was an awesome ending.
