One thing I've noticed about Westerfeld's novels is how bittersweet the endings are. Although there is still a rainbow (or fireworks) to brighten the blow, there is still death, failure, destruction. Westerfeld knows life will never have a happy ending, just a bittersweet one.

A satisfactory end to the trilogy. There's a fourth book in the series, but I believe it deals with mostly different characters. Only worth reading if you've read the first two as the book's universe and slang won't make sense otherwise. The author does a nice job of creating a plausible language and culture for the dystopian world.

The final book in the Uglies trilogy. Tally Youngblood has been turned into a special, a super-powerful human being. She and Shay are trying to track down the location of the New Smoke and destroy it. Tally also wants Zane to become special now that he has had surgery to fix some of his brain damage. An interesting conclusions with some questions about protecting nature and freedom.
Really enjoying cruising through this series. It's fast-paced and touches on all sorts of things which will expand the average teenager's mind. Or something like that.
But forget all that and just have a read. These books are fun. :) ...more
