I was hoping Meghan would write her review first, but she emailed and said she was done so I could write my review. It has been a little while since I finished, (I can only remember things for like a day), but hopefully I can write something.
I actually enjoyed reading this book. I didn't read it with the same vigor as the Twilight books, even though I liked it more than those. I thought the story was interesting and it kept me engaged. I guess young adult novels are the ones for me.
At the end of the book, I was really excited to find out what happens next! But I have been having a hard time getting into "Pretties", first because I am not a big fan of Pretty talk, and second, because we have had company. But I am hoping to get back into it and finish the rest of the series. Are there 3 books or 4?
Anyway, I know everyone else has read this, but I enjoyed it and would probably read it again. A very unique idea. And I really like Tally!

I actually think "Pretties" might have been my favorite, after you get past most of the pretty talk. I really liked this whole series. Of course, I'm the Sci-Fi geek in the family! ;)
I really liked this book. I thought Tally was pretty mature for a 16 year old, even if she was dead set on becoming pretty up until she actually had been at the Smoke for a while. This book was good enough that I wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. Some of the things described in the book were a little confusing to me, and I wish the author had taken the time to explain a little more since this is set in the future. I'm reading "Pretties" and just barely figured out that an interface ring is actually a ring you were on your finger. I thought they hooked it on their belts or something like that (don't ask, I just never got it). But I do like that even though the city makes it look desirable to be pretty, that you realize that it isn't as glamorous or desirable as it seems. That definitely goes a lot deeper with the young adult crowd, and hopefully the next two books emphasize that point a little more. I agree with Shannan about "Pretties" though. The 'pretty' talk is totally sense-missing.
