![]() This feeling backfires when she reunites with Zane, her former boyfriend who had mistakenly ingested crippling nanos. ![]() ![]() Similarly, at the end of Pretties, Tally is turned into a “Special” thanks to her sometime-friend Shay, and it is in this form that we meet her at the beginning of Book 3.Īs a Special, Tally basically becomes a cyborg, as she gets the unique enhancements that ensure optimal performance, including ultra-sensitive hearing and vision, bones replaced by high-grade materials, razor-sharp teeth and nails, internal nanos to repair any wound, and perhaps most critically, a sense of being above average of being better than anyone else. In Unglies, Tally decides to reject this treatment and become a “renegade,” but at the end of Uglies, she is turned into a Pretty. This bubbleheadedness is supposed to keep citizens happy, unwarlike, and easier to control by Special Circumstances, the secret enforcement arm of the authorities. She finds out, however, that being Pretty also means being “bubbleheaded,” thanks to deliberately inflicted surgical lesions. Tally Youngblood used to be ugly, like all the other kids who were not yet sixteen, the age at which they are surgically transformed into Pretties. For those who want to start this series, any review after Uglies will be a spoiler for the preceding book. ![]() This is book 3 of the series Uglies, Pretties, and Specials. ![]()
