Specials is the third and best installment of Scott Westerfeld's young adult dystopian series. Tally is now reconfigured as a Cutter, part of her friend Shay's young elite clique within Special Circumstances. Icy and random are the new 'in' words; pretties are now relegated to 'bubblehead' status. I enjoyed this book more because it felt more like an epic adventure with interesting plot twists and turns rather than a bunch of young pranksters having their adolescent rebellion. I'm more motivated to read the next book, Extras.
