Uglies

I read the book "Uglies", by Scott Westerfeld. The book is basically about a girl who learns what comes first in life and to expect the unexpected. I chose this book because I was talked into reading it by that library lady who was giving us some ideas of books we may want to read. :)

Tally is turning 16 years old in a couple months, which to you doesn't sound like such a big deal. But to Tally and all of the other "uglies" living in UglyVille, that is the day you get to go through a very intense operation that turns you into a "pretty". Being pretty isn't just anything, though. When you're pretty, you live in New Pretty Town and enter the most fantastic life any ugly has dreamed of. You're someone who basically parties every day and does nothing but have pure fun, and Tally can't wait! Tally sneaks over to New Pretty Town every so often to see her friend, Peris, who is now pretty. Tally made a promise to be with him as soon as possible. But as she is sneaking back, Tally meets Shay, who is completely against becoming pretty. They become best friends, until Shay decides to run away to a secret place out in the wild where a lot of other uglies live, and that no pretty can know about. Unfortunately, Special Circumstances gave Tally a very important order, that can change her world. Now Tally has to chose to either betray her friend and become pretty, or break her promise to Peris to live in the wild. What will she pick? You'll have to read and see!

I LOVED this book! It was probably one of my favorite books I've read. 2 things I liked about it was that it was very futuristic, and everything that happened you couldn't predict at all. :) I don't have anything I didn't like about it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes kind of crazy books like the Hunger Games or The Maze Runner. I truly think anyone could like this book! Girls might be more interested in it though.. only because it's from a girl's point of view. But, ya never know !:)

*There's also a sequel to this book. It goes Uglies-Pretties-Specials-Extras, which I'm gonna be reading next! :D*
