![]() ![]() The plot is fast paced and action packed. Tally's clique, the Crims, engages in a stunt that melts a floating ice rink and sends them all crashing to the ground, but as they were all wearing bungee jackets, they were safe. ![]() There, the utmost care is taken with safety for the various completely dangerous activities that residents can partake in. ![]() Tally is one of the "new-pretties" and as such lives in New Pretty town and will until she's a middle pretty. One of the strongest aspects of Westerfeld's writing comes in his world making.

This remains one of the strongest dystopian series I've read, and I daresay I've read a few. As is the case with all fast paced books, I had almost finished it by the time I left. I was at a library yesterday and saw Westerfeld and picked up Pretties to kill time. ![]() I must have reread them at least twice, but I hadn't done so again in a while. I read the Uglies quartet back in middle school and absolutely adored them. ![]()
