This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Pretties, to put it mildly, did not live up to my expectations. Considering that my expectations allowed for the poor writing and the cheesiness of book 1, and that I only wished for a little excitement, this says a lot. First of all, I was sorely disappointed with Westerfeld’s decision to make Tally pretty at the end of book 1. What, Scott, you can’t write a book about a plain heroine? Even in a series that allegedly advocates individuality? But, more on that later. I was still willing to give...more

Here's what I wrote on my book club blog about Pretties, and the whole series: Westerfeld knows that he's writing to teens, so he's trying to address a LOT of issues that teens face. One is, obviously, being superficial. Remember reading the teen magazines, hearing all of the celebrity gossip (not to mention your own school gossip), trying to dress well and be "cool?"

One is, obviously, being superficial. Remember reading the teen magazines, hearing all of the celebrity gossip (not to mention your own school gossip), trying to dress well and be "cool?" Maybe you were better than I was and didn't get pulled into that, but most teens are. And often the pull doesn't go away once you turn 20 and aren't a teen anymore. I still find myself tempted to read the covers of the gossip magazines at the grocery store, to watch another cookie-cutter, uninspiring chick flick or to read the mindless quick-read books. It's harder to choose the book that I'll struggle through but that will make me think and maybe even change, or to turn off the tv when a couple of beautiful people are on the screen, no matter what kind of dumb things they're saying. When Peris chooses the promise of blissful ignorance and laxity of the Pretty society, part of you can't really blame him. Who wants problems? Who wants to have to think and to work when we can just be entertained instead? We have to consciously choose to resist that pull, and teens are just being introduced to it.

Another issue is our treatment of the environment. I think that Westerfeld isn't advocating the pristine, sustainable development of the Pretty society, or the wasteful stupidity of the Rusties (our present state), but something in between that Tally gets a glimpse of with the Smokies. A reverence and appreciation for nature, but an understanding that nature is to provide for our needs, and so cutting down a tree is not a sin (some tree-hugging extremists today might take the Pretties side on this, don't you think?).

When the Rusties come along, he's again attacking our tendencies for senseless violence, adherence to illogical traditions (women's subservience) just because "it's always been that way," and even religious piety. "Question authority!" he's saying all throughout the book. That's what teens do naturally, but he's targeting an authority that they don't always recognize - the media. Teens now can't live without their iPods, they go to the movies every weekend, spend hours and hours online and are basically overloaded by the media. All of this keeps them from thinking on their own. This book makes you think and hopefully can encourage some teens to think on their own and pull themselves away from all of the media that tries so hard to tell them what to think.
In addition to all of his preaching, Westerfeld writes a captivating series with convincing characters and and draws you into his intriguing world as you read his books.

Dear Tarah:

Well, I tried.

You were surprised that I didn't like Uglies. It was so much fun, you said! And you told me that you liked the sequel, Pretties, even more. When we talked about it, I wondered if it all boiled down to one's tolerance for hoverboards. Hoverboards are so played out, I said! It was a well-worn trope back in 1989, when Back to the Future was first released, I whined. It's certainly a cliche now.

I liked this book better than the first. Maybe it’s because I'm more open to sci-fi or maybe it’s because it was just better. *shrug* Either way I liked it better. And I'm not a big sci-fi reader but I think the world Westerfeld creates is unique and things are explained well without it feeling like an overload of information. I didn't much like how the rusties (being us) are considered stupid but then again in the 1900s people took tape worm pills to lose weight, we know better now.

I opened the book with some hesitancy, despite the fact that I'd enjoyed the first book and had been anxious to start the second, since the details of the first book were kind of fuzzy — would I remember enough to piece together a coherent story?

Turns out I needn’t have worried. Pretties picks up where Uglies left off, yes — but the main character’s memory has been tampered with and she can’t quite remember what happened in the first book, anyway. My own stunted recollections made for a rather authentic read. :-)

Actually, I found myself identifying all too well with the emptyheaded, “pretty-minded” section of the book (aptly nameed “Sleeping Beauty”): if you’ve ever zoned out in front of the TV or computer, wasting away your time and losing some sense of reality all in the name of entertaining yourself, you’ll understand exactly the sensation Westerfield is trying to recreate. (Being sleep-deprived helps with this perception, too.)

The futuristic society that so intrigued me in Uglies continued to fascinate throughout this sequel. The Pretties, made beautiful through an operation at age sixteen, spend all their time amusing themselves and no time thinking — that is, until Tally Youngblood (flawed heroine of Uglies) arrives in New Pretty Town. Through the help of new friend Zane, Tally’s memory of her ugly past is reawakened. She and Zane search for a cure for pretty-thinking by staying “bubbly” — which is basically to be hyped up on adrenaline — all the time. (I loved the Pretties’ distinct dialect that infused the first chapters, and I loved that Westerfield taught it to his readers simply by using it repeatedly.)

Of course, as Tally slowly remembers the events of the first book, things get increasingly more complicated. And as hard as she tries, Special Circumstances (the almost-mythical enforcement agency of this rigid society) always seems to be one step ahead of her. Pretties concludes it a most cliff-hanging fashion, much as you’d expect the sandwiched part of a trilogy to be (think Star Wars or Lord of the Rings … isn’t the end of second part just about the most depressing, lowest point you can sink?).

Obviously, I can’t wait to get my hands on the final book of the trilogy, Specials!(less)

What I found most interesting about Pretties was its thematic use of various forms of bodily mutilation/eating disorders. In a perfect society, where everyone is brain-damaged into peace and transformed into absolutely perfectly beautiful creatures, how do you rebel? By starving yourself, cutting yourself - in a lesser sense, by covering your body in tattoos. (Tattoos as mutilation is a controversial thought, and I'm not sure I know where I stand with it - I mean, are some tattoos okay, but a bo...more

"Pretties" suffers from middle-of-a-trilogy-itis. It has to move the story forward, setting up things to come in the final installment, but it can't necessarily push things too far ahead for fear of losing audiences in the next installment.

"Pretties" picks up a few months after "Uglies" ended with Tally having undergone surgery and become pretty. We're treated to glimpses of her hedonistic lifestyle now, but a lot of the first third of this story had me wondering when the real plot would kick in...more

Sin embargo, el libro me gustó mucho y me atrapó. Pienso que podría estar un poco mejor escrito.

De que trata? (SPOILERS):
Tally se convirtió en Perfecta. Como nos había anticipado el libro anterior, Tally perdió todos sus antiguos recuerdos. Ahora su vida se centra en ser aceptada por el grupo de los “Rebeldes” de la ciudad, en el cual está su amiga Shay. En todo lo que se basa ese grupo es en crea situaciones peligrosas para experimentar nuevas sensaciones y así sentirse “Chispeantes”.
El capitán del grupo se llama Zane, un chico solo un poco más grande que Tally.
Un día preparándose para una fiesta “semi-formal” (si leen el libro lo van a entender), a Tally y a Shay se les avisa que la fiesta ha cobrado una temática nueva: DISFRACES.
Esta fiesta es en la cual los Rebeldes decidirán si Tally es incluida al grupo o no.
En la fiesta, un chico va disfrazado de “Circunstancias Especiales” y Tally se siente observada constantemente por él. Hasta que decide seguirlo. En una escalera de emergencia del edificio, el disfrazado la estaba esperando. Tally descubre que es Croy, un imperfecto del Humo que fue amigo en su pasado, y esto le devuelve algunos recuerdos de esa época que estaban ocultos en su mente.
Ya que los verdaderos Circunstancias Especiales, descubrieron que un imperfecta (Croy) estaba en el edificio, no tuvieron tiempo para hablar, pero Croy le deja una carta.
Esta carta había sido escrita por Shay cuando todavía vivían en el Humo, y la misma expresaba que Tally (la Tally vieja, con recuerdos antiguos, antes de la operación) se habla a ella misma (a la Tally operada que estaba leyendo la carta) “avisándose” que había aceptado probar “La Cura”. Ésta podría no funcionar, pero ella anteriormente había tomado el riesgo de hacerlo.
Cuando encontró la carta estaba junto a Zane, y en una bolsita venían adjuntas 2 pastillas (la cura). Presa del miedo, no se animó a tomarlas, así que pactó con Zane, tomar una cada uno.

Tally is a bit annoying in this one though. One of the things I likes about the first one was the way she was so adamant she wanted to be pretty, just like everyone else that lived there; she wasn't particularly gifted or special. She was immersed in the ideology of the place she lived in and was very much a product of society. In this one, she is portrayed as some amazing gifted self-curing superwoman which did annoy me quite a lot. I preferred it when she was more normal.

From page 200 onwards I loved the book. Until that point I had been flagging, reading 20 pages here and there, never really getting properly into it and just looking forward to finishing it so I could move onto another book! However, as soon as I hit the 200 page point I suddenly got hooked! I found it really exciting and I loved how where in the first half things had seemed too easy for Tally, suddenly she faced real problems and real dangers and things became much more difficult. Maybe I just wanted to punish her for forgetting David...I kindof love David. The love triangley aspect of Tally having to sort of choose between David and Zane didn't really do it for me but mehh when it's young adult you come to expect that sort of thing! Girl is so desirable two guys fight over her...who didn't want that when she was 14!? I know I did.

Overall...I thought I wasn't going to bother with the rest of the Uglies series when I first started this book but now I really want 'Specials'! I loved the ending and want to know what happens next! Yes I know it will be formulaic and another version of what has already happened in the first two books but...you know...sometimes formulas are GOOD....mc squared...that one is important...I think. JUST KEEP TELLING MYSELF THAT IT'S OK TO LIKE THIS.

EDIT: I have been reading other reviews about the mutilation aspect of this book and I wanted to write a quick note about that. It does seem very strange that to feel more 'bubbly' which is another way of saying 'feel more alive/feel more about the world/have a better clarity of mind' you can cut yourself. This is a weird message. I guess the author is trying to think of things that would cause adrenalin like climbing tall towers, kissing boys, getting tattoos...but it does seem strange that cutting yourself is given power in this novel. Although the main characters see it as wrong, I still don't think it should've been included.(less)
