Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

In this novel the Ugly, Tally Youngblood undergoes a radical operation becoming a Pretty, knowing that her brain is going to be altered be a Bubblehead, unable to concentrate on things and unable to recognize serious situations and react to them. She signed an informed consent at the end of the book, Uglies, giving permission for accepting the medication which is the cure for being a Bubblehead.  No one ever took this medication before.  Tally ends up sharing the medication with her boyfriend resulting in serious complications.

The novel progresses as Tally tries to overcome the operation.

I thought this was an interesting book overall. It was a Scifi book geared toward teenagers and young adults. I would give this book a 7/10.
