These 3 books are some of my greatest reads. There is lots of heartfelt stuff.They all have a lovely love story but sometimes it ends . these stories have love, betrayal, adventure, suprises and so much more to offer they also have great friendship. the world the live in is hard to cope with because everyone is the same everyone is a stupied airhead but some people make a difference

Gr. 8-11. In this highly anticipated sequel to the hit Uglies 2005), Tally Youngblood struggles to retain her mental acuity after undergoing the operation that transformed her into a Pretty. While in the renegade Ugly community, Tally learned that along with cosmetic enhancements, new Pretties are given brain lesions that leave them in a perpetual state of lazy vanity. Tally volunteered to take a drug developed to cure the lesions, but now that she is a Pretty, she has forgotten her promise. A coded message leads her to some pills and a letter that she wrote to herself before her transformation, and after swallowing the cure, she is catapulted into a dangerous new adventure, in which she discovers that the peace and happiness of Pretty society come with a terrible price. Riveting and compulsively readable, this action-packed sequel does not disappoint. Just as good as its predecessor, it will leave fans breathlessly waiting for the trilogy's final volume.

Tally is finally pretty! The problem is she can't remember some important stuff from when she was ugly. Thankfully her new boyfriend Zane keeps her 'bubbly' or clear headed, and she gradually begins to remember that the Pretty life may not be what she really wants.

Sort of the difficult middle book story-wise, but still exciting and definitely mind blowing.

if you liked Uglies then you will definatly love pretties. Tally see's what it was like living in a ideological world in Uglies, but it Westerfelds sequel, Tally has been made Pretty and remembers nothing of her privious life. the battel that she was fighting, the boy she fell in love with, or the way that the world should be run.
A really good read for anyone who wishes to test the limits of reality and the world that we live in.
