Book Review: Pretties

Pretties, Scott Westerfield

This sequel was really great ... I loved how it kept me surprised and wondering what was going to happen. The ending was shocking and I HAVE to read the third one Specials now, so I can find out what happens. Obviously you would have to read Uglies first, but haven't you already? I reviewed it last week. :)

Here is the synopsis of the plot (I copied this from Amazon.com)

"In this highly anticipated sequel to the hit Uglies 2005), Tally Youngblood struggles to retain her mental acuity after undergoing the operation that transformed her into a Pretty. While in the renegade Ugly community, Tally learned that along with cosmetic enhancements, new Pretties are given brain lesions that leave them in a perpetual state of lazy vanity. Tally volunteered to take a drug developed to cure the lesions, but now that she is a Pretty, she has forgotten her promise. A coded message leads her to some pills and a letter that she wrote to herself before her transformation, and after swallowing the cure, she is catapulted into a dangerous new adventure, in which she discovers that the peace and happiness of Pretty society come with a terrible price. Riveting and compulsively readable, this action-packed sequel does not disappoint. Just as good as its predecessor, it will leave fans breathlessly waiting for the trilogy's final volume.
