I don't think Tally really ever was a bubblehead. She always knew something was wrong.
And all Aya ever wanted was to beat Hiro. For fame.

Well, in the beginning of Uglies she wanted the operation, and was willing to betray Shay to do so, but then she learned from that and couldn't really do it.

Right, but she was always smarter than Aya.
I think maybe she always had doubts, where Aya never did.

Well, yes, that's true she was smarter. I was just pointing out that Tally learned and grew.

True.
I don't believe Aya will ever learn as much as Tally has, I mean, no she won't. Nobody will.
Tally had somebody die because of her, and I don't think she'll ever forgive herself.
That had to be hard.

I know, that's so true.
Maybe the reason we don't like Aya so much is comparing her to Tally. Like you said, no one will go through as much as she did.

I looked at the map in the Bogus to Bubbly, which you guys have to get, I read it all last night, and North Carolina was completely flooded over by Global Warming. Great.

^^^ Ooooo, is Bogus to Bubbly out??? Crap, now I have to go find it!
*runs to library* Rawr! I wants it!
I read the excerpt he posted online, and I laughed when it said something about Australians... making up language whenever they wanted? I'll have to go look it up.
But bogus is the best word ever (blame Uglies and Bill and Trav/Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey Tour)
EDIT: Bwahaha. I found it. But, I'm the third hold on one copy... at least its not like the Twilight audio CD, with 150 holds on 25 copies. :roll:

Get it! I loved it.
It has so much info, and the first chapter from Hiro's POV.

I usually don't get those info books because I've already read the books, and I really only like the stories. I just don't want to spend my money on it. I'll see if my library has it though.
