Pretties By: Scott Westerfeld



Pretties was a enticing sequel to Uglies. Unfortunately, I did feel like it was just a filler for the third book. I loved it don't get me wrong but it felt almost like a push. I think that Specials (the third book) could either turn this in to a fabulous series or ruin it.


Again though, Westerfeld has wonderful character development. You honestly feel connected to this terrifying world of extreme socialism. Mostly, it allows you fall in love with our world all over again. I felt like Uglies was really more about finding beauty... real beauty. Where this book I feel is more about Tally Youngblood finding her own cure to being "pretty headed". I love the verbiage of the pretties! I think that was a great accent to the pretty society, very pretty-making:)
