Reading Level 6.1
Points 12
Science Fiction

This book is about tally Youngblood as a Special. Not only is she a Special she is a special Special she belongs to a group of young specials called Cutters. The Cutters get there name because they cut themselves so they can feel icy. Specials are responsible for keep everyone in the town safe from the outside world while keeping hidden. Actually few people even believe in specials. While being a special Tally feels there is something missing she finds that she is missing her boyfriend Zane. Zane is a Pretty but he is not your usual Pretty he is all shaky from brain damage that a pill Maddy made gave him. This shakiness is not alright with Tally so she came up with a plan to stop it you will have to read the book to see what happens next.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the first two books (Uglies and the Pretties). If you like drama this book is totally for you. This book is mainly for girls so I won't recommend it to any boys.

Reading Level 5.7
Points 13
Science Fiction

This book is the second in its series the first book being the Uglies. This book is about Tally after the operation she is pretty headed like everyone else in the beginning of the book. Later a old friend from Smoke gives her a unexpected and unwanted visit and tells her to find a letter. This letter is from her before her operation to her after the operation. In this letter it tells her about her giving Maddy (David's mom David is her boyfriend kinda sorry it gets complected) the permeation to give her a new medicine that hasn't been tested before. Tally is to nervous to take the pills so her and Zane (Zane is her other boyfriend shes not cheating on David technically cause when the operation was done they erased all memory of him) each take one. This turned out to be very dangerous.


This book will keep you on the edge of your sit. I recommend this book to those who love science fiction and drama. Make sure to read the first book it won't make sense other wise. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

This book is about a girl named Tally and her life adventures. This book tales place in the future when everyone lives in the city and everyone gets a operation when they are 16 that makes them pretty. There is only a few who know what is really behind this operation. Tally's best friend Shay doesn't want to get this operation and look like everyone else. Tally thinks this is a crazy idea but when Shay runs away to smoke with David Tally is forced to betray her friend and her new boyfriend David (yes, the sane David that Shay ran away with.)

I recommend this book to those who love drama and science fiction. This book will keep you thinking about everything around you. I hope you enjoy this book as much as i did.
