Pretties By: Scott Westerfeld
Pretties, the sequel to Uglies by Scott Westerfeld is also about Tally. In the first book, Uglies, David Tally’s boyfriend’s mom discovers a cure for pretties. You see, when you become a pretty the doctor not only makes you body pretty but your mind. They make small cuts in your brain called lesions which make you into a bubblehead not able to think strait. David’s mom just needs a willing pretty to test the pills on. Tally makes a big sacrifice, she will test the pills. She becomes Pretty.
In the second book, Pretties, Tally the bubblehead is havening the time of her life. Her Clique the Crims (all the people who were criminals before turning pretty) and her are invited to all the parties where they get drunk. During one of the parties Croy a Smokie shows up and gives Tally direction to where to find the pills. Tally and Zane (her boyfriend/Crim) split the pills. They worked. Tally can think straight and so can Zane despite his headaches.
Shay the bubblehead finds out about the pills and is mad that Tally didn’t split them with her. Shay makes her own Clique the Cutters who cut themselves to be bubbly, the same effect of the pills. The Crims have to escape before Special Circumstances talk to Shay. Can they pull it off? Read the book to find out!
I read this book in two days flat. It was spectacular! When I read the book it made me think well I wouldn’t be a bubblehead I would resist but the truth is I probably would be able to do it, I mean no one else was able to pull it off.
