An Intriguing Story of Betrayal and Strength
*SPOILER ALERT* *YOU WERE WARNED*
Imagine a society where you're considered "ugly" for most of your life. Until you turn "pretty". It's a world where everyone thinks the same, all the pretties look the same, a world of utter sameness. This book is something I would recommend to all people who enjoy dystopia and a book that has building suspense and action. It's packed with lots of description that helped me really envision the book at a new level, action, and many challenges that characters have to face. In Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, we learn that we should find our identity through what we think, not what everyone else thinks. Tally Youngblood is a 15 year old "ugly" looking forward to the operation that turns her pretty, a person with big beautiful eyes, perfect skin, a symmetrical face, everything anyone would want. Until she meets Shay, a girl who wants to escape to a place called the Smoke, where you never have to be changed. When Shay escapes, Tally is sent to the Smoke to bring her back, but Tally experiences a whole new world of freedom and possibility there. Tally has to decide between pretty-ness and a whole new life. In the end, we learn that who we want to be should be found through what we think, not what other people tell us or think.

An Amazing Book of Fantasies and Science
“I would rather be punished for making the right decision than live with the guilt of making the wrong one for the rest of my life.”
Ok, this book was so awesomely amazing! I kind of had to finish this book in one day, since it was due the next, but it was still worth the read. Honestly, I feel like the summary could have been way better. I wasn't sure if this book would be worth reading, or if I would be able to finish it in one day. But, after the first couple of pages, things became much more interesting.
