I didn't like this one as much as I liked the first three, but it was still enjoyable. It's interesting seeing how a city different from Tally's city responded to the changes. I also found it interesting how similar the reputation economy is to the influencers of today. Since this book was published in 2007, it seems almost like a prediction of Tik Tok. There were times where I felt the Japanese influence could've been better handled, as with Aya always talking about sushi as if that is the only thing Japanese people eat. Also, I wasn't sure if the timeline of events was totally accurate. Overall, I enjoyed the story and may check out Westerfeld's other novels that take place in the same universe.

I think this was my favorite of the series because I found the idea of a reputation economy kind of interesting and radical honesty and what that would mean interested me....poorly developed in this series but still some more interesting ideas. Not sorry this series is behind me.

I really liked the whole Uglies series - until Extras came along. The book is just plain boring. It annoyed me a lot that it's not clear where the setting takes place, and I found the whole "feeds" idea quite exaggerated. I didn't make it to the part where characters from previous books appear (obviously one has to get through half of the book and that was already too much for me).
Completely unnecessary addition to a trilogy that was perfectly ok without it.

This book continues the saga with all new characters several years later. Although Tally does return at the end! I thought this new society based on face value (which would be like the person with the most facebook friends wins) very entertaining and clever. A different slant to the series for sure but after reading all of these in a row it was really nice to be focusing on something so different. Still, I could go without the teen annoying language habits.

Loved this "4th book in the trilogy"--great commentary on social networking/celebrity and just as fun a read as the previous three.
