Uglies


I read a great book called "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld. The book is about a girl who makes tough decisions that will determine her life! I chose this book because it was recommended by the librarian.
The main character is Tally. She also has two great friends. Shay and David were a big part of her life! They helped her make decisions! When she had hard times they helped her get through them and like great friends they also went through the problems with her! Tally wanted to be a pretty REALLY bad! On the other side Shay did not! That caused Tally big problems that changed her mind and her future. Her other friend she meets at the "Smoke" stands in her way and tells her the choices she has and the risks she has to take! The "Smoke" is a secret place that people ran away to for a whole different life. In the legend it is that when you turn 16 you have a operation. The operation turns you pretty! It also changes your personality! You blend in with all the other "pretty" people. There is two cities to separate the "uglies" and the "pretties!" Tally a lot of decisions but the biggest one she makes changes her life FOREVER and puts her on a big risk! It also leads you to the next book in the series!
One thing that I liked about the book is that it is very adventurous! It is also a great book to read to pass time really quick. One thing that I did not like is that the book is long! It is 425 pages! If you really like the book and if you put yourself into reading this book you will love it! I would recommend it to a friend. I would recommend this book to people who like to read series! There is a couple books after this one from the series! This book was very interesting for me! Right now I am reading the second book in the series called "Pretties."
