Joining Tally and Shay as main characters is Zane. (I have read it while this book has been patiently waiting to be reviewed, actually). It wasn't so bad that I didn't rush right out and read book three, though. It's all about character-building and there is not a lot of action. I think it took about 100 pages for me to get really captivated in the story, but that is often the case with the second book in a trilogy. Once I got passed the really annoying speaking habits of the main characters, though, I was much better off. It's not really Westerfeld's fault, though, he was trying to make a clear picture of what life was like in Pretty Town, so if anything he just was that much more successful. So, needless to say, not a big fan of Pretties. This is just reading it! Actually hearing it spoken would be one of the worst forms of torture, I think. They say it is because they don't want to turn out like the Rusties (meaning us), but really, if I had to have a conversation with a Pretty I think I would end up blowing someones brains out! I really liked Tally in Uglies, but now that she is Pretty her talking hurts my head. I think it is probably a good thing that all of the weapons are locked up. If all of his writing is like this series, I think we are going to have a long and lasting relationship! That being said, I was not as big a fan of this book as I was of Uglies. I have came to the conclusion that I love Scott Westerfeld. Reading it, Tally remembers what's wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold.Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life - because the authorities don't intend to let anyone with this information survive. Then a message from Tally's ugly past arrives. It's everything she's ever wanted.īut beneath all the fun - the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom - is a nagging sense that something's wrong.

Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she's completely popular. Reason for Reading: Next Book in Series, Sci-Fi Experience
