Pretties
Written by:
Scott Westerfield
In a world
of ugly people, you can have the chance to become pretty….
When you
become pretty you leave everything else behind. You start a new life, in a new
part of town, where you can have fun all the time.
Sounds great right?
But it comes at a cost. Being a total bubble head changes your whole perspective, the person you were for sixteen years no longer matters.

But it comes at a cost. Being a total bubble head changes your whole perspective, the person you were for sixteen years no longer matters.
In Uglyvill everyone
is born ugly. At 16 all people get to move from the settlement of ugly young
people into a life as a pretty person. Tally has finally turned 16 and becomes
pretty. But as it turns out being pretty isn’t all it seems. As a pretty life
is full of carefree fun. After a party
Tally follows some masked party crashers and ends up getting news that changes
her entire view of the pretties. The operations that make you pretty do more
than just nip and tuck skin. They change your brain too. The operation makes
you care about nothing but having fun, you are a bubblehead. As it turns out her new boyfriend Zane also
knows about the brain lesions of the surgeries and is ready to fight against
being a bubblehead. Zane and Tally join
a rebellion to take control of their minds.
They are
going to figure out just what is going on in this city.
At first I
thought being in a life where transforming into a pretty would be great but
then I read further into the series and realized being pretty is awesome and
all but being perfect isn’t what its all about.
I rate this
book and series 9/10 because I really like the chance to view a different way a
society can be.
I recommend
this book for everyone who is interested in adventure and mystery because in
this series Tally and her friends go on many exciting adrenaline pumping
journeys.

Star: Your book review makes me think about the pretties and our own society. It reminds me about us and how everyone wants to be pretty because that what matters.
ReplyDeleteStar: I like how you explained Tally and even talked about the series and not just the book.
Wish: I wish you made a better cliffhanger and left a question at the end.
