Uglies

Synopsis

Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be wrong with that?Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license -- for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there. But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world -- and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.

  Uglies is a great story. It's a little slow to begin with though and I found it a little hard to push past that..
  
  I really enjoyed how Scott made (my Interpretation) our world in the future where people are changed at the age of 16 to become a perfect and stunningly beautiful person.
  
  All the characters are written extremely well and Westerfeld uses many descriptive words to help create an image for the reader.
  
  I would give it... maybe a 4 out 5.. The series gets even better.
