(view spoiler)[Ugh me too. Tally has been careless about the pendant. If I was her, I'd be so paranoid it would go off in some other way other than the eye activation. And it actually did. o_O (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Amazing - (view spoiler)[Yea you should've just tied the pendant to a bird Tally. You should've told them in the first place! But then the story wouldn't be this interesting :D (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Finished! Loved it! Will definitely read the next book. :) Thoughts: (view spoiler)[It's just a bit too much to go under the operation just to see if the cure works. But oh well, it'll be interesting to have a peek at a pretty's mind. I just hope it'll be Tally narrating still. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

I need to read the others too. :)

Joining this buddy read! I've been wanting to read this book for months :)

These books are fantastic! You will love them. ;)

[Melanie]

Yay! Glad to hear that! :)

[Rachel]

Will this just be the trilogy? These seem like great books! I have been wanting to read the first book for almost 2 years now.

[Kim]

I'll just be reading the first book. I usually don't buy/plan to read an entire series unless I like the first one ^.^

[Noella]

Facing the Future
(view spoiler)[That technology for changing faces is disturbing. Shay's definitely got some influence from somewhere if she's not excited to 'become' pretty. It does seem like once people become 'pretty' they also lose their personality because they become vain! (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

End of Part 1
(view spoiler)[Tally may be infiltrating David's group but I'm guessing she'll get her eyes opened and decide the whole system of becoming pretty is not as glamorous as she thinks it is. It's really sad Peris cannot accept being seen with Tally until she is turned 'pretty'. (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

The model
(view spoiler)[When Tally was looking through the magazine it was kind of amusing how she thought all the differences in how people looked were ugly and that the model was closest to being a pretty but a bit too skinny (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Invasion
(view spoiler)[are the special circumstances people superhuman? Scary. Maybe when Tally broke the pendant, it alerted them because they probably thought there was a high possibility she would do that (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Inside
(view spoiler)[You know they special circumstances people are doing dodgy things when they name their rooms interrogation, disorientation and isolation rooms. And omg Shay is a pretty now (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Finished
(view spoiler)[Woah I'm guessing it will be hard after they put the lesion in her brain for Tally to remember the things she said to Maddy. I hated the way Shay was acting ever since she changed. It was worse considering she was so against it in the first place ! I'm guessing the next book will be quite annoying when Tally will act like a 'pretty' (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Starting chapter Wipe out
(view spoiler)[I don't much like this Pets dude's behaviour. Either turning pretty also turned him into an asshole, or there's something fishy about the surgery. I'm thinking both. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Finished Last Trick
(view spoiler)[It sucks that they're going separate ways. But I get why they're each doing what they are. Though, I hope they meet again soon. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Done with Lies
(view spoiler)[Really hope Tally doesn't go through with her plan, because you can't get any more selfish than condemning an entire community to who-knows-what just so you can turn pretty. Especially when the community, and your best friend, has done nothing to deserve it. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Done with The Model
(view spoiler)[This was the funniest chapter so far. It makes us look so bad. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

11% done

(view spoiler)[Interesting so far. I really like Shay. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

24%

(view spoiler)[It sounds like she's going to go "pretty". I am curious to see how Shay is doing now that she's left. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

44%

(view spoiler)[So fun to see The Smoke and where Shay has been all this time. I can't believe Tally is going to betray her, but it seems like she is...all to be "pretty". (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Starting chapter Run
(view spoiler)[Yes! she got away! Tally is one smart cookie. Shay , on the other hand... I used to like her. Not anymore. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Finished chapter Amazing
(view spoiler)[Tally, please, please, PLEASE tell him the truth. this is going to cause a huge problem later on if you don't. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

The End!
This was a really great book and I really enjoyed it! The world was brilliant and I'm so proud to see how far Tally has some. Really happy that I read (or listened to) this book.

[Melanie]

Finished

(view spoiler)[Uglies was a different read. While I found it interesting, it did take a little bit for me to get used to the world and characters. I loved the ending and how it made me eager to continue the series as soon as I can! (hide spoiler)]
