Overview:
Pretties by Scott Westerfeld is an engaging, page-turning book. It is the follow up to Uglies. This book tells the tale of a future earth where the people in charge (Specials) are desperately trying to gain control, so they give everyone an operation when they are 16 that makes them pretty, forget who they are and only want to party all their lives without a worry in the world.
Having given herself up, Tally Youngblood is living a dream. She has everything she ever wanted but when a note arrives from her ugly self she realises what is wrong with her new life and is desperate to escape the city and find a cure for being a fluffy-headed pretty. Wrapped in a search to retrieve what she used to know, can Tally keep her memories from fading?
I love this book because of the thread that runs all the way through: betrayal, revenge and guilt. Westerfeld never fails to surprise you and all the loose ends come to a big conclusion. But some questions remain unanswered with the cliff- hanger ending. Specials is the follow on to this mysteriously fantastic book. Westerfeld will not let you down with this action packed, treacherous tale.
ENJOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
