Amazon.com: Uglies (Uglies Trilogy, Book 1) (9780689865381): Scott Westerfeld, Rodrigo Corral:…
In a post-apocalyptic world where looks and beauty are standardised Tally Youngblood is about to turn 16... and pretty. (this is what happens...to every "ugly"...)
Tally is an ugly and about to receive an extensive operation that every ugly receive when they turn 16 to make them pretty. The only problem is her best friend's run away to a rumoured rebel base called The Smoke and now Tally's in trouble with Special Circumstances.
She's given the option of going and finding The Smoke to help all the runaways or staying ugly forever.
From the first word Tally's voice leapt off the pages and immediately drew me into her world. There's plenty of action, suspense and questions to keep the pages turning to find out what's going to happen. I know the whole cosmetic surgery idea is not an original idea, but Scott Westerfeld gives a unique spin on things and along with some new inventions (bungy jackets) marks it for a good read.
I am now reading Pretties...Since I have the nook I'm having TOO much to read!!I downloaded some books from this website and put it in "documents".I also have bought free Fridays books,and a few classics!!GOOD READING PEOPLE!!
