REVIEW

This was a thrilling sequel to the book Uglies.  Lots of nicely placed action though out the book.  Nothing is ever easy for Tally Youngblood, which I find enjoyable.  It also had foreshadowing in it, a good touch.  It was fun to look at Pretties again after finishing it.   

One thing I didn’t like was the near consent fighting between Tally and Shay.  Also sometimes the story was hard to follow.  I had to figure it out myself.  The ending was kind of sudden.  I would have liked a little more warning to what was going to happen.
