I think my main problem with this book was that I just didn't like Aya. Fame is something I avoid, so I find it very hard to understand anyone who might actually want it. I also didn't really feel like Aya grew all that much during the course of the book. Also, Tally's appearance was disappointing. Maybe it was just the outside viewpoint, but she definitely wasn't the Tally that I was fond of. And as for the mystery at the center of the book, I honestly wasn't very intrigued. I would definitely

I really enjoyed the premise of the fame economy put forth in this book. It was fun to think about. I also liked the second group of Extras at the end, but but I didn't find many characters hardto cheer for. Aya was ok, but sometimes frustrating, and I've struggled to like Tally Youngblood throughout the entire series. If you appreciated the other Uglies books, you should enjoy this, too.

Loved the book, I really like Westerfeld's style. Like the previous books it had alot of twists & turns. I like the humor in the book. It is an entertaining book. Quick to read, and fun. Not a deep heavy book and a nice break from the heavy books i have read lately. I still think i liked Uglies & Pretties best out of the series, but it was right up there pretty close to them. Over all i loved the whole series.

I thought there were only three in the series, but surprise! I actually really liked this one. I liked the ending better than Specials, although I figured out the ending half way through the book. It was still a good ride.
My favorite of this series by far. Much more interesting sci-fi story and less about the tragic-hard decisions of teen life.
