Even though I have The Host waiting for me, I just really had to find out what happened to Tally, Shay, David, and especially Zane. This book was a good conclusion to The Uglies Trilogy, but it didn't have the same magic Pretties held for me. What I really liked about the trilogy is that Tally is very different in every book, and I think Westerfeld handled those changes very convincingly. However, that's also what I didn't really like about Special. Tally was so changed in Specials, and I really missed the old Tally. I liked Tally, but not really because of who she was but because of who she had been and who she could become. But, at the end of the novel, I'm not sure she became the person I wanted her to be. I guess Tally's past and her potential future was probably why Zane still liked her too. Poor Zane. He was my favorite character. I'm sad about him.
