PRETTIES

Tally should be perfectly content now that she is a Pretty. She's beautiful now, and her life is a procession of parties and wardrobe changes. Tally can't shake her uneasiness though, and when she meets a young man named Zane and learns the truth behind being a Pretty, she is forced to outrun what she knows and the people after her because of it. Carine Montbertrand gives an impressive performance. She articulates the " dumbness" that comes from living in a brainwashed, spoiled, vapid society, sending shivers up listeners' spines. While this is the third in a series, listeners who haven't caught the first two books will feel comfortable with the story and be enticed to find the first two.
