smalljeannie 's review for:
Pretties
by Scott Westerfeld
I enjoyed this book the most of the three, though I can't pin down exactly why. Seeing inside the world of the Pretties was fun, helped along by the fact that Westerfeld's writing style changed quite a bit to reflect Tally's new mindset. (I almost caught myself saying "bubbly" and "pretty-making" a couple times...) I found Zane a rather compelling character and of course wondered where he would eventually fit into the story (because of course, we had to come back around to seeing David again, right? )
In Pretties, Tally's journey to re-find herself mostly internal. Sure, she braves the wild again, but in this book focuses not so much on her struggles with nature but her struggles with her own mental workings. The story moved at a steady pace with just enough excitement and tension to drive the plot forward.
