Uglies (Uglies, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 48 more book reviews


Really interesting, thought-provoking, and sometimes scary look at a futuristic, high-tech society where all citizens get an extreme makeover when they turn 16. The authorities follow the twisted logic that if everyone looks the same, there will be less for people to fight about. The main character ends up getting involved with an underground colony of resistors. This book will really make you think about what it means to be "beautiful" and how it effects so many things in every person in society.

I can't wait to read book 2, Pretties!
