Not only do you have super strenth, power and reflexes, but you also have the power that comes with being in charge.Īnd don't forget the 4th book in the "trilogy" (seriously, why can't they just call it a series and not a trilogy)Įxtras: It's been a few years since the mind-rain. Specials: Being special is so much icier than being Pretty. This is Brave New World for a new generation. But some don't find being pretty as satisfying as others. Pretties: Finally having had the operation, Tally and her friends are New Pretties and partying up a storm. But, how good of a book would this be if everything happened so easily? There are a group of dissenters who can give status quo a run for its money. ![]() Tally just wants to grow up, have her operation and be a bubble-headed pretty like all the rest. When you turn 16 you have an operation, and magically you're beautiful, as well as stronger and disease resistant. No one goes to unreasonable lengths to be beautiful. No one is jealous, no one has an eating disorder. I guess I'm on a government conspiracy kick lately. ![]()
