Okay, I'm feeling ambitious today. I'm going to do another review, but of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. Uglies is a futuristic book where on every one's sixteenth birthday, they get an amazing surgery that makes them from an Ugly into a Pretty. Now let me explain, people under sixteen aren't really ugly, but compared to Pretties they are and their society has taught them that you can't be pretty without the operation. Also, when you become a Pretty you get to live in New Pretty Town where your only job is to have fun. How cool is that?!
Tally is fifteen and only weeks from turning pretty. But then Tally's new friend, Shay, doesn't want to become pretty. She instead wants to go live outside her city in the wild with a group of other Uglies who didn't want to be pretty called The Smoke. The Smoke survives on the wilderness and anything they brought from the city on their trip there. When Shay runs away, Tally is brought to a secret and... special group of authorities that gives her an impossibly hard choice: Go to The Smoke and turn Shay in or never turn pretty at all. Whatever her choice, it'll definitely gets ugly... (Yes, stupid pun intended)
Uglies is fast-paced, fascinating, and leaves you wanting more. (which you do get, there are four books in this series!)
Have fun reading, whether it's this book or any other!
