YA Book Review: Scott Westerfeld's Uglies
Uglies
by Scott Westerfeld
Uglies is the first book in the Uglies triology, and it's a fast-paced zingy trip through a post-apocalyptic world in which everyone gets drastic plastic surgery when they turn 16. This is done, they say, to keep people from discriminating against one another - if everyone is pretty, then everyone is equal, right? Turns out this isn't such a great idea, and our plucky girl-hero Tally is out to find the truth once her friend Shay leaves the city the night before her operation. All Tally has ever wanted is to turn into a Pretty, but suddenly Tally is thrown into the middle of a situation she can't control - will she turn spy against her new friends or will she turn her back on the only wish she's ever had?
The sequel to Uglies is, you guessed it, Pretties, and I'll be reviewing that one SOON!

this is the best boook ever.
This book is amazing. I'm on the second book and almost done and can't wait until I start the third. It captures your imagination and makes you think about what the future could bring. And if we could ever actually end up like that.
