Book Review: Pretties by Scott Westerfeld



Title:  Pretties
Author:  Scott Westerfeld
Published:  May 3rd 2011 (reprint)

Genre:  YA, Dystopian, Sci-Fi
Pages: 368
Rating:  5 out of 5



Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she's completely popular. It's everything she's ever wanted.
But beneath all the fun -- the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom -- is a nagging sense that something's wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally's ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what's wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold.
Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life -- because the authorities don't intend to let anyone with this information survive.

Before reading this "review" please see what I thought about Uglies. Here is the link of the review

While reading Pretties I felt so much happiness. I was finally reading the sequel to the best book ever, Uglies!!! I don't how it is possible but Pretties is even better than Uglies. It's true! :O
YOU NEED TO READ IT! I mean read Uglies first, BUT READ PRETTIES ASAP.
I'm going to try to express again, in gif style, this time with gifs of something very popular now. Gangnam Style. I love the song :]

While starting to read Pretties, this is how i was feeling.
BRAND NEW TALLY. Wind blowing, beautiful things happening.

This is how i felt when I came to the part with the Cutters.
It's like the author forgot everything and was like, forget the other awesomness,
I'm bringing you the Cutters (I love the parts with the Cutters)

This is a spoiler!!!!!
I felt so many things when David came back. But I just wanted to do a happy dance.

This is near the end. Million things happened. Millions of reasons to cry. I just wanted to dance. For God's sake I just read the best book ever!

I know that you may think I just wanted to dance, and that I felt happy throught the whole book. But the book was so deep, so beautiful, so gorgeously written. I ADORE SCOTT WESTERFELD.

5/5 stars.

Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be wrong with that? Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license -- for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.


note: This is not a typical review. Few months ago Zemmy did the same thing, for her first 5 star book review on this blog. I kind of borrowed the idea from her. lol But this is the only way I can truly describe how i feel about this book.


When I first found out about the Uglies series

When it was ordered few months later

I was waiting for so long to get it. (more than a month)

Than I decided to go to the post office


                                           And there... There was my package with Uglies

I was like

When I finally started reading it

Few pages in

50 pages in

50 more pages in


100 more pages in


Near the end

When I finally finished reading it

When I got the idea to do this kind of ''review''

So, this is my new favorite book. 

5/5 stars 
How do you like the ''review''? Have you read the book? Did you like it?
