Pretties by Scott Westerfield


Tally has everything she has ever wanted. She's pretty now, her life is beyond awesome.


But behind all the fun -the non-stop parties, the high tech luxury, the freedom, the feeling of being bubbly - there's a nagging sense of something is wrong. Something important.


Then a message from her ugly past came. Reading it, she finally remembers what's wrong with her pretty life and her fun stops cold.


Now she has to decide, should she fight to forget what she knows or should she fight for her life - because the authorities don't intend on letting anyone know this information survive.
I loved this book! At first I was a bit confused...like why was she pretty and stuff? But then I got it.

Skinned by Robin Wasserman


Lia was perfect as can be. Smart. Beautiful. Popular. Until she died.


Now she has been redownloaded into a new body...a robot that only looks human. Lia will never feel pain again, she will never age and she will never, ever truly die. But she is rejected by her friends, betrayed by her boyfriend, hated and regretted by her familiy, and alienated from her old life.


Forced to the fringes of society, Lia joins others like her...the Skinners. But they are looked at as freaks...their hated...and feared. They are everything but human and are considered the ultimate crime...which the ultimate price has to be paid.


This was an amazing book and nothing at all like any book I have ever read! It was an amazing sci-fi and I highly recommend it. I have started the second book, Crashed, but I didn't excite me as this one has, it was boring, listening to life as a Skinner, instead of like this book, the journey of a girl who died and become a skinner, it was much more exciting.

Unwind by Neal Shusterman


Unwind By Neal Shusterman


Connor, Risa and Lev are running for their lives.


The 2nd Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. What was the resolution? Life for teens are safe until the age of thirteen. When between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, one's parents can have their child "unwound", that is when all the teen's organs are transplanted and given to other people, so life doesn't technically have to end. It like they are living in many different people. Connor is a delinquent. Risa is an orphan and is not worth being kept alive. Lev, a tithe, his fate of being unwound determined since birth as part of his parent's strict religion. Now together, they make a cross-country journey across the states, hoping they have the chance to escape and survive---And eighteen seems very far away.


I loved this book. Best book ever. This book was very well-written and detailed. Also, the story was told in an interesting way, in many people's point-of-view, instead of just one. I loved the ending XD. Everyone dies...Haha, just kidding. Maybe. You have to read to find out!
