Pretties (Uglies, #2)

by Scott Westerfeld

I wasn’t crazy about the first book in this series so I wasn’t very excited to start this one. It was just like the first one. I know that the author is writing to teens so he hits on a lot of important issues like appearance and the environment but this book still didn’t cut it for me. So many people really enjoyed this book but unfortunately I wasn’t one of them.

I kinda liked how Tally switched from an ugly to a pretty because it gave us a look at how the pretties live and think. I really hated how they talked though. When they used words to mean other things it really threw me off and just kind of annoyed me. The plot in this book wasn’t terrible so I was able to get through it pretty easily. The reason I don’t like these books is that I really don’t like the main character. I find she’s annoying and whiny. But if you can get through that then the book isn’t too bad. It’s just a little boring for my taste.
