The second installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series—a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend. Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she’s completely popular. It’s everything she’s ever wanted. But beneath all the fun—the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom—is a nagging sense that something’s wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally’s ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what’s wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold. Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life—because the authorities don’t intend to let anyone with this information survive.

I really liked this – I've read the whole series before, but I started a reread and now feel compelled to finish it. Two things about the end (and therefore spoilers): 1) I really like that Tally was gonna go with Zane over David, because I get tired of the first boy in a YA book being the main character's One Twoo Love. 2) It was really unfair of Maddy to blame Tally for Zane's brain damage. Like, if the pills had to be taken together, maybe you should PUT THAT IN THE DIRECTIONS. Even a pretty could understand that.
Mieux rythmé que le premier, un revirement dès le début et une histoire qui s'enfile à toute vitesse. Vraiment bien.
Not a bad second book. Never got around to reading this in middle school when it came out due to not liking the first book in but I am glad that I finally did read it. Although some of the characters do bother me, maybe it is just because I am older and this was written for teens. Still a good book, but not really my cup of tea.
Enjoyed the developing plot with this 2nd book in the trilogy but didn't connect with the Tally/Zane romantic relationship.
After her intense rel/ship with David in the first, it felt kinda ‘wrong'.
Brilliant ending, makes me reach for Specials immediately.
Looking forward to seeing how the trilogy wraps up.
