Second Part of The Uglies

So, I loved Tally's journey to the Smoke.  Shay's notes and clues were very intriguing to try and decipher for myself and then see what would actually be the outcome.  I think my favorite part was when Tally had a run in with the helicopter.  It was cool to see that some of the old Rusties' world still had an actual physical role with the present world.  And the controlling of the flowers was interesting that the Rangers had carried on what would be our present day's work of plant/pest control.

First Part of the Uglies

The first part of the Uglies is alright to me.  I think I thought I was going to enjoy the book more than I am.  It's written well and the story line is good, but I can't get over the names of "littlies" and "pretties" etc.  To my the word choices are childish and they really bother me.
ANYWAYS, about the book itself.  I love the hope of Tally's character.  She is feisty and clearly sad about not being with Peris and being a Pretty yet, but she keeps hope and looks forward.  Even though being a Pretty may not be the best thing, it seems like Tally REALLY wants to stay true to who she is, even after becoming a Pretty.  The book and Shay almost frustrate me because I want Tally to become a Pretty because it seems as if it is the right thing to do, but I can tell that it isn't and there is more to becoming a pretty than has let on so far.
Until the next post..

Uglies.. Again

So I went through and read about each of the books again and I still definitely want to read The Uglies.  The other books look interesting but the one that really stands out to me is this one.  The book seems to have suspense and a mystery type twist to it so I think it looks really great.  So in short, I want to read The Uglies!
