Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Sid Day

Uglies is one of those few books that you cant seem to put down till its all done. Once you finish this book you will want to go out and get the next installment. In Uglies a young girl Tally is waiting for her upcoming birtday so that she will be able to get surgary to become "pretty."

In Tally's world nobody is good enough till they have been turned "pretty." The pretty people even have a different part of town from the uglies. All of Tally's friends have already moved and become pretty and she has a few months till it is her turn.

Tally meets this girl named Shay one day and they become fast friends. Shay and Tally find out they have the same birthday and will be getting pretty together. Tally is so exsited about this but not Shay. Shay desides to run away to live in a place where you dont have to become pretty.

Tally is sad to see her friend go but is happy she will soon be able to see her other friends. But to Tallys Horror she is turned down for the operation. They tell Tally is cant become pretty unless she finds and turns in her friend Shay.

Tally leaves with all intentions of bringing Shay home but when she finds her friend she isnt so sure anymore if becoming pretty is what its all cracked up to be.

You wont be able to stop reading this book till its all done. and even then you will "NEED" to read the second and third one. I really enjoyed this book and so will you.
