Enchanting Review: Pretties
+ Pretties or is it? + good sequel, but not as good as the first
Pretties
Scott Westerfeld
Young Adult Paranormal
Rating: 4 Enchantments
Zane is a Pretty. However he has always been different than the stereotypical Pretty. He does not share the same attitude as them. He is more serious than the Pretties who all seem to share the same "blonde" ...

Extras (The Uglies) 53 reviews Scott Westerfeld
Simon Pulse, 2007
Extra Good
+ Different Place, Different Time, Still Great
