Post subject: | Reading a novel called UGLIES |
I was wondering if it is a good book. I was recommended it for my assignment on relationships (Hate, Love, etc...). If you have read it and think it was great please let me know. I have 2 weeks to read this 400 page book and the worst thing would be to read a book that sucks, am I right? Anyways if you know anything about the book or read it; comments would be greatly appreciated. Book Information: Title : UGLIES Author : Scott Westerfeld Category : Teen Fiction Teaser: 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. Cover: ![]() |

Sounds a lot like Soylent Green and Logan's Run. This may help you make up your mind: http://timfredrick.typepad.com/timfredrick/2006/07/ya_lit_review_u.html |

I've read up to 33 pages so far and I am liking it. Too bad my eyes won't stay open as it is late here. ![]() |
