Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

I recently read the book Pretties by Scott Westerfeld.  This book is a sequal to the book Uglies.  The main character is a young girl named Tally Youngblood.  In her society, at the age of sixteen they have an operation done to become “pretty”.    In the book Pretties, Tally finally becomes a pretty.  Now she has beyond perfect looks, her clothes are awesome, she has an amazing boyfriend, and she’s completely popular.  She has everything she ever wanted.

Even though Tally’s life is nonstop fun and parties, high-tech luxury, and total freedom, there is a sense nagging at her that something is very wrong.  And it seems that it is something very important that she is missing.  Then, a message from her past arrives.  In reading it, Tally remembers what is wrong with her new pretty life, and the fun stops instantly.  Now Tally has to choose if she wants to fight to forget the what she knows or fight for her life because the authorities won’t let anyone with the information Tally has survive.

I thought that Pretties was a really great book.  It is full of nonstop adventures and excitement.  I would recommend it for everyone to read, but you have to read the first book Uglies before you read Pretties to understand what is happening in the book.  Overall, I thought it was worth reading as well as the rest of the series!  If you read the series, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
