Summary[from the book]:

"Special Circumstances": The words have sent chills down Tally's spine since her days as a repellent, rebellious ugly. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor—frighteningly, beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. But Tally's never been ordinary.
And now she's been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid.
The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. Most of the time. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more.
Still, it's easy to tune that out—until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she's programed to complete. Either way, Tally's world will never be the same.

Review:

I think this was pretty good, not as good as the first, but still good. It made me cry at the end, when Zane died. :( It was sad, even though I kind of like David better, because it's the first guy she fell in love with. I'm a bit sad that this is the end of Tally's point-of-view. She was a great character. She made me mad a lot of times, and made me want to smack her.[But, not as mad as Shay made me and not as bad as how I wanted to smack the living day lights out of Shay, of course!]

Rating:
9/10
