I read Specials by Scott Westerfield. This is the third book in the exciting series Uglies. In the first book Tally makes a long journey through the outside lands of Uglieville and New Pretty town to find the smoke where her friend Shay awaits her.In the second book Tally and Shay become pretty, which mean that their brains have nanos that make them vain and stupid.
Tally used to think that they were a rumor, but now she's one of them. Tally has become an agent for the city's hidden defence, Special Circumstances. She is now a super-amped fighting machine. Shay and her are now the leaders in a group that are highly respected by Dr. Cable, and all the members of Special Circumstances. The Cutters, the group's name, are given a mission to stop rebles smuggle pills to kill the nanos that make the Pretties stupid, inother words to cure pretties from being stupid. To Tally this isn't such a big deal to her. That's what Specials do--keep Uglies down and Pretties stupid.
She soon finds out that these pills come from the New Smoke*, the place Specials Circumstances is trying to shut out. The Cutters have come close to finding it, but lose the people that they are chasing.One night the rebels kidnap one of the Cutters while they are undercover looking for people smuggling pills. Tally and Shay must go and find Fausto, the kidnaped special, for he could lead them to find the New Smoke.What will happen when they find the New Smoke? Will Fausto be okay? Could an encouter with a close friend change Tally's mind about be this no feeling, super human killing machine? Find the answers to these questions in the third exciting book Special in the sequel Uglies.
New Smoke*- Find out in the book Uglies about what happened at the original smoke.

Leto--I read this book, and I loved it. I think that this whole series is just fascinating. It made me think about how obsessed our culture is with physical appearance.
