Book- The Uglies

Author- Scott Westerfield

Pages- 426/426

Uglies was an excellent book. It is about a girl named Tally, who lives in a town where whenever you turn 16, you get a procedure done that turns you beautiful. But there is a down-side to this; it also takes aways some of your smarts, feelings, and what makes you different. Tally is very excited for her 16th birthday, which is coming up soon. Tally soon meets a girl named Shay, who is also about to turn 16. Shay does not want the procedure done, and wants to run away to a near-by town just the night before her birthday, so she doesn’t have to get it done. Shay tries to convince Tally to do this, but Tally refuses.

This is all I have read yet, but so far it is really good! I like how the author uses a lot of detail. I love the plot in this book! The town in the story seems really superficial because everyone is pretty and everyone thinks alike. That town would be pretty boring after a while. I really like the character Shay because she tries to convince Tally that fitting in with everyone else, and being gorgeous is not the thing to do. I hope Tally finally decides to run away with Shay in the end. I wonder what Tally will do next, and if she does decide to go away, what the new town will be like. I am very excited to read the rest. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories that keep you coming back for more and leave you on the edge of your seat.
