The second book in Westerfeld's 'Uglies' trilogy.

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. Its everything she 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 know and fighting for her life--because the authorities don't intend to let anyone with this information survive.


I picked up this book (and the first book in the series, Uglies) so that I could leave it in PepperVL's wishlist bookbox for Enlith. They looked interesting so I started reading Uglies and then I was hooked.
I actually read this book the day after I read Uglies, I just havne't had a chance to register it until now.
This book has the typical problems of the 2nd book in a trilogy: its not as good as the first and things aren't going to be resolved until the next book.
I can't wait for the 3rd book, Specials, so I can find out what happens to the characters and their world.

A worthy sequel to Uglies. Here we see Tally from a different angle as she experiences the dazzling world of the New Pretties. I couldn't put it down!
