Even though the plot was a little predictable, I found this book to be the perfect start to the series. I enjoyed watching the changes Tally goes though, and can't wait to read the next book. The worldbuilding is super interesting, and I'm excited to see how it's built upon in the future stories. ( ) This wasn't the best book I've read, but not the worst either. It did seem to drag in spots and I felt like every other page I was reading about a kid on a hoverboard. It got a bit repetitive. I didn't find myself drawn to any of the characters or even particularly liking any of them/caring what happened to them. The book has an interesting concept, but for me it didn't really get interesting until the "truth about being pretty" was revealed to Tally. That being said, since I already own the next two books, I'll read those. Otherwise, I wouldn't read them. Uglies was a science fiction novel taking place in a dystopian world. The main character, Tally is an "ugly" who waits her whole life to undergo the surgical change to become a "pretty" and live with her family and best friend in New Pretty Town. She meets a new friend who challenges the accepted norms and eventually makes Tally think about the world around her and her aspirations. This book was a wonderful sci-fi novel. I read the entire thing in a day! It would be a great book to read with a more proficient middle or high school class, and I would also definitely have this entire series in my classroom library. It would be great for talking about worldbuilding in fantasy novels, character growth/development, and plot tracking. There are so many different points throughout the book where we could stop and ask questions about what is happening and ask deep questions about what might happen next or what questions are lingering in the reader's mind. Th e only reason I gave it a 4/5 is because I like other science fiction novels a little better than this one (Rule of 3, Gone, The Hunger Games, Divergent).
The Uglies books are the perfect parables of adolescent life, where adult-imposed milestones, rituals, and divide-and-rule tactics amp children's natural adolescent insecurities into a full-blown, decade-long psychosis.
