Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
Tally Youngblood has now received the surgery. Growing up as a Littlie all she ever wanted
was to become Pretty, to go to the Pretty parties and live her life according
to plan. She did some tricks as an Ugly,
but she never wanted to go to The Smoke to rescue her friend Shay, she never
wanted to fall for David, an Ugly that didn’t grow up in the city, but whom
grew up in The Smoke. But for some
reason, being Pretty minded was not all that she had bargained for and as she
receives a letter from herself explaining exactly what the Pretty surgery had
done to her, she has to face a choice that will change her life forever. As this story unfolds, the Specials seem to
be one step ahead of The Smokies and Tally as a Pretty. She has to continue her journey and take
chances that she never wanted. She also
falls for Zane, something she never thought would happen especially while she
was in the Smoke with David.
I enjoyed this book very much. The first book in the series was action
packed from the beginning to the end, where Pretties started fairly
slowly. It took me the entire first
section to get used to the change in Tally Youngblood’s inner voice. The audience knows from the end of Uglies
that she changes to a Pretty to be the guinea pig of the cure.
The ending took a turn that I should have expected but
didn’t. She has a confrontation with
David in front of Zane and it brought up some very interesting feelings within
me. I couldn’t believe how wrapped up I
was in this girl’s love life. She had to
make a decision and I was horrified and relieved in how she reacted to the
situation that was before her.
I’m about to start Specials.
I wonder how Shay is going to be a player in this next book of the
series. I wonder if they will change
Tally to a creepy Special and how this storyline will play out with the Zane
and David love triangle. There’s only
one way to find out… Keep Reading my Friends!
