Can anyone tell me the text on the back cover of Specials by Scott Westerfeld?
I just borrowed Pretties and Specials from a library, and I have a habit of reading the preview text on the back. Problem is, on Specials, a good amount of the text is covered by the Library’s barcode. Can anyone tell me what the text says?

Best answer:

I hope this is right, sorry about any errors, im not going to read it back :P Hope this helps

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, brethtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeding a Special. But Tally’s never been ordinary.

And now she’s been turned into one of them: superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid.

The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of 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 is offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to onee last chouce: 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
