Third Part of the Uglies
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about Shay's experience in the Smoke. I thought it was so cool how the Smoke had a library of magazines that they thought were so sacred and strange in their own way. It was interesting for them to see our real life generation's models and famous people as an Ugly since they had not undergone the surgery. Later, it was interesting hearing about David's parents experience and research when it comes to the surgery of becoming a Pretty. I must admit though, it was pretty anticlimactic for me personally to come to know that during the surgery they also change leisures in your brain. It was pretty obvious to me that after the surgery something had to be almost brainwashed so that the new Pretties thought differently.

I agree with your post. I really did enjoy the book also, and I was disappointed by the whole brainwashing thing even though it did not come as surprising to me. I have to say that I certainly did not predict the ending. It took me by surprise!
ReplyDeleteIt was really predictable. The most surprising thing to me was Shay turning pretty first and them actually finding a possible cure.
ReplyDeleteI agree with thunderlover14, I knew something was not right after turning pretty. The fact that Shay was turned first was not as shocking to me. She was the one that in a sense led them to the Smokies and she had given them hell I'm sure. Just look at how when they captured her they had all her limbs bound and they had 2 to 3 guards on her. as they said, "She was unarmed but very dangerous." The fact that she was such a fighter was even more reason to change her. The whole purpose of the Pretty society is to make everyone the same so that no one would be excluded and also to not have wars so that they would be differentiated from the Rusties society.
