Uglies

Review: 5 stars

Summary: In Uglyville, you can't wait to turn sixteen because once you do you become pretty. In this world, on your sixteenth birthday, you go through an operation which turns you from ugly to pretty. You are then moved from Uglyville into New Pretty Town, which is paradise and your job is to throw parties and have a great time. A few weeks before her birthday, Tally makes a new friend, Shay, who isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She would rather live outside of the city. As the book goes on, Tally has to make a tough decision that could change her whole world.

Reflection: This is a great Distopia novel. It is very enticing and leaves you wondering what is coming next. I enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was an extreme take on the judgment of people's looks. I found it interesting. It made me think of what I would do if I was in that situation. Would I betray my friend? Even though I would most likely never be put in the exact same situation, I couldn't help but think about it. Overall I thought it was a great book and would recommend it to anyone.
