Uglies

The Uglies is an amazing book written by Scott Westerfeld. I read this book because I heard that it was a good read. This book takes place in the future, just to let you know.

In the future society, there are Uglies(who look like us) and there are people who are Pretty. Tally Youngblood is a few weeks away from her 16th birthday on which she will get an operation to turn pretty. Peris, Tally's friend, has already turned pretty and she is gets so bored so she sneaks out of her dorm to New Pretty Town to visit Peris, which can get you into a lot of trouble. Peris tells her to go home and he'll see her after she's turned, so on her way back she meets Shay, a girl who is just like Tally. The day before they both turn,Shay tells her to run away to the Smoke with her, which is a rebel town that is hidden from the pretties. Tally refuses and says goodbye to her friend. When she goes to get her operation, she is called to meet the head of the Specials where she is told that she will never turn pretty unless she finds her friend. They also know that Shay left her a riddle on how to get to the Smoke. At first she says no but eventually decides to go. The head special gives her a locket that she is supposed to press when she gets to the Smoke. She has a crazy ride there where she almost falls of a rollercoaster, falls down a cliff and almost gets burnt ot death. When she arrives at the Smoke, she falls in love with the misterious David, who Shay likes,and finds out a scary thing about the operation from his parents. If you want to find out how it ends, read it for yourself.

This book is probably one of my favorites ever! I liked everything about it. There are no complaints from me. This book is AMAZING and perfect for anyone over 12. P.S. Mrs. Henry this counts as 2 books so now I have a total of nine read.
