Book Review of Pretties (Uglies, Bk 2)

Pretties (Uglies, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 289 more book reviews


This second installment of the young adult dystopian Uglies series continues in the same vein. Tally Youngblood has undergone the knife. As a popular new-pretty, she still faces choices that lead her back to challenging the control of the authorities. The one-plot-twist-at-a-time and pretty slang confirm that the writing is geared towards a less sophisticated target audience. I'll likely read the next book, Specials, just because I have it, but not out of any sense of suspense or urgency created by the writing.
