Has anyone read this book?
I was going to join this book club thing but I have to read this book, all the others I've read already and were actually fairly good. But I haven't read this book and from what I've seen it looks okay, but I was wondering if anyone else has read it? I searched for a topic for this book and for any type of opinion on it and couldn't find one..  description: Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be wrong with that? Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license -- for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there. But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world -- and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever. He also wrote another book to this called the pretties,  anyone read that as well? |

;) I love this book, I own them all. The Pretties kind of pissed me off though, it was really slow and it just made me mad >_> But I read all of them :) idk about the movie, I mean back in 06' I saw they we're supposedly making a movie for this and I don't know what to expect if they do. When I was reading the book I could see everything perfectly in my head of how it should all look but I can see the movie being a real disappointment and I don't think I could take that for a book I really really liked back then. |
