Publisher Description

The first installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series—a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.

Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can’t wait. In just a few weeks she’ll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she’ll be catapulted into a high-tech paradise where her only job is to have fun.

But Tally’s new friend Shay isn’t sure she wants to become a pretty. 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 a choice: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. Tally’s choice will change her world forever.

"I really enjoyed this book and I have to admit that I was really surprised. I fell in love with the story and liked discovering this whole new and modern high-tech universe created by Scott Westerfeld. A city where uglies live separated from pretties, people who got an operation to become a pretty. We follow the story of Tally Youngblood, a fifteen year old ugly who is about to become a pretty and live in New Pretty Town, where her only job will be to have fun. Everything changes when she meets Shay, an ugly like her that sees their world in a whole new different way... This book made me think and reflect on our society and on how we often judge people based on their appearance. I propose Uglies to anyone who wants to read a good dystopian novel and that is ready to be amazed. :) A great start for this series!"

    " Good concept, could have been written better. Light entertainment, likely to appeal to females more than males "

    " I really don't know what to think of the book. It was good, well written and an excellent plot. But I dunno. While reading I remember the Matched books, they look alike. The society is divided, they have a before and after, and mostly the revolution -which will come, i know-. I'm feeling like reading the whole serie, so here I go. :) "

    " I really liked this series. I thought the post-apocalyptic world was pretty interesting with all the cool technology and the story kept me interested. I thought the words they used were fun as well (e.g. "dizzy-making"). It's been a few years since I read them, so I don't have a lot more to say. Maybe I'll read them again and rewrite my review. "

    " Its story is not that fascinating. It flows monotonously with occasional twists. Anyway, i will continue reading the 2nd one and see how it's going. "

    " Lily, not as bad as I thought it was in the middle. Yes, it's slow at times, but I did enjoy the overall plot, despite my aversions to sci-fi. I am adding the other two books in the trilogy to my "To-read" list. I'm really glad I stuck with it. "

    " A very good book with a very great idea and plot. This book is by far my favorite of the series because the rest kind of drags on. Too bad, the author could have done so much better with the other stories though :( "
