Description

The final installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series—a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.

A few years after rebel Tally Youngblood takes down the Specials regime, a cultural renaissance sweeps the world. “Tech-heads” flaunt their latest gadgets, “kickers” spread gossip and trends, and “surge monkeys” are hooked on extreme plastic surgery. Popularity rules, and everyone craves fame.

Fifteen-year-old Aya Fuse is no exception. But Aya’s face rank is so low, she’s a total nobody. An extra. Her only chance at stardom is to kick a wild and unexpected story.

Then she stumbles upon a big secret. Aya knows she is on the cusp of celebrity. But the information she is about to disclose will change both her fate…and that of the brave new world.

    I know age really doesn’t matter so much, but being an adult and having to live in reality is exhausting! I read the whole Uglies Series and what a great escape from the world! I’m very glad I stuck with the series because this last book was definitely the best one!! I’m so sad it’s over, but so glad the book wrapped up in a great way! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    Why didn’t the author just stick with Tally and David? This was a waste of a book.

    Hated this last book it was torture trying to read the whole thing I just couldn't not know what happened with David Tally. The only part worth reading was the very end because u found out about tally and David

    Just started reading the fourth book and I Hate it! The first three were great but after that I want to know about taking the wilderness and David and rally's relationship! I don't care about some 15 year old kid's problems with being popular! Very disappointed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
  • I wish Tally didn't seem so mean

    I thought the book was good but I wish Tally wasn't so mean. This was my least favorite part of the series. This book wasn't as realistic as the other ones and I missed Tally.
  • Extra indeed . . .

    Skip it. The other three books are so much better than this one. It adds nothing to the others and Tally is in it for two minutes. I wish I hadn't read it.
  • Not great.

    I didn't enjoy that his book didn't follow the main character when I was expecting it to. I felt the conclusion with Tally was incomplete in book 3. I was looking for something more, something hopeful and this book didn't have for me. It kind of made her look like an idiot. And the i felt like in the end she was just settling and she wasn't happy.
  • The best!

    I don't really know how to say this, but here goes. Read it. Every book in the series. You've never been taken on a journey like this before. And the best part was that I didn't even know that there were four books. Extras was a total surprise and such a better ending to the series then where I thought Specials left me. So much of today's world, social issues, evolution-ized technology lives here. If you have a mind like mine, this "world", our future world, is a beautiful place with Youngblood in it. Bravo author. Bravo.

    I read all 4 books, and this one was my least favorite. Tally was the main character in the other 3 but was hardly even a character in this one. She was portrayed as mean and inconsiderate, and hardly appeared for 75% of the book. It focused mostly on a girl named Aya, who was of little interest to me. It didn't give you any insight into how their world was after the "mind-rain", only this one city in Japan. The story strayed far from the other books, and was not even close to the other storylines. Overall, would definetly reccomend the series, but also warn about the difference between this book and the others. Not a fantastic book, I think I wasted money in comparison with the other 3.
