The Uglies- By Scott Westerfield *****
What would you do if you lived in a world where you could become a whole new person by the age of 16? New face, new body, new clothes, new home? Tally Youngblood is about to turn 16 and she's been waiting her whole life to get her transformation. Hanging out all day, partying all night. What could be wrong with that? When Tally meets Shay, they easily become friends. But Shay starts to try to convince Tally that there's more to being perfect. She doesn't want Tally to turn. Shay tries to lead her into an ancient civilization called the Rusties. Tally is forced to make a big decision that will change her life forever. She will unlock the truth to what's really behind the big transformation...but will she decide to go through it?
I gave The Uglies 5 stars because the book always kept me going with the suspense. It was definitely hard to put the book down for me. The book made me feel complete all the way to the tips of my toes! Imagine if that were to happen to your town and you would have to have an extreme surgery to become "perfect" and our time right now was just ancient history. The Uglies unlocks a world of new surprises and should be read by readers 13+.

Yeah, all of his books keep me up late at night finishing them! Into the squeaky hours, as Shannon Hale'd say. Read the rest of them yet?
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. :) I'll look forward to reading your thoughts on Wasted if you do read it.
I got into the middle of The Pretties, but didn't like it as much as the first one, so I put it down. But I'm planning on finishing it before the summer ends.
