Pretties (Uglies Series #2)

Is being pretty really the most important thing?

Filled with fantasy, this book is amazing! Tally used to be an ugly but not anymore. Theres a new Tally now who is totally gorgeous and has the hottest boyfriend around. But when she finds out the truth about being pretty will she want to stay that way? I would recomend this book to pretty much anyone. You should especially read this if you're into fantasy. Once you start reading this you can't put it down. I loved this book, so i read the whole series. It uses lots of figurative language, and the author makes you feel as if you're part of the book. Mental images roll through your head the whole time you're reading it. Be sure to read the whole series: uglies,pretties,specials, and extras!

Excellent Sequel

I'm not Westerfeld's target demographic, but he writes complex and engrossing novels that appeal to me nonetheless. I loved watching Tally's character evolve in Pretties as she realized everything she'd hoped for turned out out not to meet her expectations following her experience with the Smokies. This story captures the conflict we all experience in adolescence between what we believe about the world and the realities of it. The exploration of a possible future dystopia is so well described that I feel as if I could purchase my own hoverboard and crash bracelets!

Just A Bad Sequel

I fell in love with the first book in the series, UGLIES, and when I finished it I couldnt wait to buy PRETTIES. I was so excited but only for that excitement and let it be turned into dissapointment! Tally ends up practically obssesed Zane, and she completely forgets about David! In my opinion, the book was JACKED UP!!! I WOUDLNT RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE!!!!!

Pretty Good (haha pun)

I found that Pretties was not as good as Uglies. I also found that it kind of drug on in parts. I also found I like David quite a bit more than I like Zane. Not that anyone reading really cares about my opinion. But that is what I think. Read it if you want more from the series. I just found it a bit disappointing.

Ugly Pretties?

I'm hooked. Against my will, I've become hooked into the Uglies series. My friend forced me to read it, and now I love it! Following the tradition of Uglies, Pretties drags readers into a brand new world that, as pretty as it seems, hides many ugly secrets. Follow the journey of Tally as she finds a new love, and meets old enemies. It's the journey of life, but the question remains: how many chances at a life can Tally have, before it's too late? The book is shocking, and a thrill that can't be put down. Pick up your copy and jump into the not-so-pretty world of Pretties today!

Strong But Similar Sequel

Despite the constant parties, fun, and clothes in her new life as a pretty, Tally can't help but know in the back of her mind what her old life was like. Chopping trees, getting hoverboard scrapes, and outdoor toilets. I mean, ewww. But her faded memories are confirmed when she gets a letter from her past self telling her that being pretty is almost like living with an empty head, and follows the instructions to become real again. But now a secretive government group has figured out that Tally's mind isn't as blank as she pretends, and they're coming to get her. No matter what it takes.

I'm not sure how he does it, but Scott Westerfeld somehow combined aspects of today's teen troubles (such as drugs and cutting) and stick them into a futuristic, dystopian-in-a-way world in a context that's different but still makes sense. For example, two of the characters starve themselves, but only to get clamped handcuffs off their wrists. Plus, the world he created even has its own unique language and cliques (something that he's pretty fond of, judging by his other books). In terms of plot, Pretties had a healthy dose of adventure and survival, plus some boy woes and recurring villains. Although I couldn't shake the feeling that it was staged so much like Uglies, the first book in the series. I mean, first half of the book, everything's fine and dandy, then something is learned, and then comes a survival part and then in the end, the main character is changed. Make sure you read Uglies before you decide to try this one!

An Uglies lover

I LOVED Uglies, and couldn't wait to read Pretties. But it was not at ALL as good as Uglies. In fact, I hated it. I just got Specials, in hopes that it will be as good as Uglies. I started to hate Tally. She was not the Tally I loved from Uglies.

"Pretties"

After what seems like ages after her Ugly adventures Tally Younblood is finally Pretty and is and living her dream in New Pretty Town. She has great friends, goes to the best partys and has the freedom to do whatever she pleases...everything is going perfectly. And now that Tally has everthing she could ever want, she has completely shutout any memory of her ugly days. But when she gets an un expected message from an old (Ugly) friend her world is literally turned upside down...
After reading it, Tally remembers what being Pretty does to your head and everything changes. Now Tally starts to question her perfect world and is determined to prove that somethings not right. But Tally has trouble deciding whether to let go of her past or go on enjoying her enjoy her Pretty life even if she knows she will never be the same again.
i would definitely recommend this book to a friend becasse it has something from every genere...adventure, romance, comedy,and science fiction. A few books that im interested in reading also from this author are "Touching Darkness" and the third book in the Uglies trilogy "Specials."

Cover

Seriously Barnes and Noble? Can't you just put the right cover on this ebook. I mean you took the effort to actually put the cover on it, so why couldn't you have put the right one on? Get your act together.

AMAZING

This book was the thriller out of the trilogy. The whole bok just kept me hooked until the end! In the previous book "Uglies" Tallly made incredible desions, whether to stay in teh smoke or become pretty. Most of her actions did turn out to be mistakes, but in the next book she actually gets the operation done. Even though it might not had been what she wanted after all. She learns more about the brain lesions. Her fellow smokies come back to help her cure, from the disease. But she doesnt accept it at first, until she meets the Crims. The new group she has joined, to be accepted in Prettytown. But it wasn't hard for her to be accepted. She already had a criminal record and many exciting stories to tell to easily bring everyone into liking her. Now that she has a new group to stick with she finds the courage to overvome her disease although her friend Zane doesnt hold up too well. Over all this is a great book and should be recommened for anybody and everybody to read.
