Extras

"The last book in a great fictional series. Follows different characters than the first three but still very interesting and eye opening. Makes you think about what the future really could be like. "

"great book for you dystopian junkies "

"You definitely should! It’s an amazing book and I think you will enjoy it! Make sure you read the other books first! "

"I know a lot of people don't really count this book as part of the series (since it's kind of a trilogy with this book as an add-on) but I really love this book :) I might even like it better than Specials, but it's hard for me to pick favorites. I love the way that Aya's city changed after the mind-rain. What if that was our world? Face-ranks and stuff would be pretty interesting. And I really wish I had a pet hovercam. That would be sweet :) I love how this book is written, in a futuristic Japanese culture. It is unlike anything I've read before and gives a very different view on dystopian futures and societies. The way that Scott Westerfeld writes, as if the book is in Japanese, and Aya and her friends struggle for the English words is also pretty cool and creative. The characters in this book are so real yet so different from other characters. Tally and Aya are similar, but different. Both of them when starting out were very selfish, and while Tally took awhile to learn how not to be, I feel like Aya learns much faster and is more mature at her age. Tally too, has grown up a lot and is pretty amazing for rewiring herself so many times (and moving on to David again after Zane). I like the new technological advances introduced I. this book, like hoverball-rigs and mag-lev trains. I love mag-lev trains a lot and I wish I could surf them with hoverboards too :) As for the 'freaks' and their plan to kill to birds with one stone, I find to be a little confusing. I understand the part about lack-of-metal slowing expansion down, but not the other part about launching it into orbit. I really loved this book the first time, even more the second, and I'm glad it's there to tie up loose ends left over from the trilogy :)"

"A sort of spin off of the series. The fourth and last book "

"Well written, engaging story, and you really get attached to the characters"

"I've been trying to find some new reads, so not really."

"I loved the futuristic post apocolyptic type of feel to it. And I would say i put it right up there with the Hunger Games for book series I’ve liked. "
