Pretties!

augh! I have to rant about this book! It is so epic, despite how unbearable the start is. Do not read any farther if you haven't read pretties!

I've just gotten past the part where Tally finds out about the Cutters. Shay is like the awesomest character in the whole series, David and Zane are too annoying. Everything bad always happens to Shay, where as everything falls into place for Tally. Shay not only thinks her way out of being Pretty-minded like Tally but she is willing to bleed for it. In freezing rain. with a ritualistic chant. Now that is an epicly disturbing scene.
Augh (strangled cry) If I was Tally during the scene where she has to talk to that middle pretty head shrink, it would be all i had not to rip out his heart and eat it in front of him. He was sooo infuriating. I hate how docile they make people where they are "worried" about shay because she yelled at Tally, very justified-ly, when shay is actually cutting herself trying to stay "bubbly". And it was almost funny when Zane said that the doctors lectured him about eating for so long that he went unconscious before they actually decided to heal his bones.

What I don't get, is Tally was thinking that if she broke her thumb bone, then she could slip off the cuff "but that would be totally ouch" and she stops thinking about it. And when she brings it up to Zane, they're cut off. Zane breaks like 3 bones in his hand punching the wall just to give the cuff a reason for their speedy trip to the hospital, soon after that. Now that is "totally ouch" really, that was just light a side note. Then they're almost willing to risk the "crusher" why don't they just break their wrists/thumbs? it's better than turning all of the bones in your hand to liquid by accident. sigh. i guess that wouldn't make as good of a story.
Now I really want to read uglies, because that was really cool. and I don't really know why I started rereading with Pretties first. God but this book is an insane masterpiece.

anyway. sorry. this book is just awesome. i don't so much like the part with the pre-rusty villagers and the "end of the world little men". but when Tally gets to the new smoke that's pretty cool.
