The third installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series—a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend. Tally thought they were a rumor, but now she’s one of them. A Special. A super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. But maybe being perfectly programmed with strength and focus isn’t better than anything she’s ever known. Tally still has memories of something else. Still, it’s easy to tune that out—until she’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 programmed to complete. Either way, Tally’s world will never be the same.

I don't know, Tally seemed really passive in this one, for all the running around and fighting that happens. I was really uncomfortable with the cutting, and the semi-glamorization of it (thought this isn't something I have a background in). Also, Tally's decision in the end disappointed me, both who she went with and where she went.
This 3rd in this trilogy moved at a cracking pace!
Loads of twists and turns in this one. Enjoyed it.
Très très chouette fin pour cette trilogie. Dynamique, haletante, extrêmement bien rythmée, très dur à lâcher à vrai dire.
Globalement concernant la série c'est une belle surprise. Il m'a fallu du temps pour la démarrer, principalement à cause des titres et couvertures qui laissaient présager un roman bon marché pour très jeunes adolescentes (disons un croisement entre Twilight et Gossip Girl). Cependant, c'est bien la preuve qu'il ne faut pas juger un livre par sa couverture, car l'histoire développée à travers ces trois tomes est extrêmement intéressante. L'univers dystopien est bien construit et repose sur des principes crédibles, les personnages sont intéressants (et on ne verse pas dans les sentiments à l'eau de rose, ce qui est très bien). Bref, une chouette série YA.
