    Els Jocs de la Fam de Suzanne Collins (elephantshoe, liberlibri, electronicmemory)
    elephantshoe: futuristic world again, but the teens have to compete and fight to the death in a televised reality show.
  2. 220
    The Giver de Lois Lowry (KamTonnes)
    KamTonnes: Uglies and The Giver both portray societies that limit conflict by having very specific rules, roles, and expectations for everyone. Also, in both stories, the main characters slowly start to question the values of their respective communities.
  3. 90
    Matched de Ally Condie (kqueue)
    kqueue: Another story about a 'perfect' society that is deeply flawed once you look beneath the surface. Both feature strong heroines who fight against the powers in control, and both have themes of independence and free will.
  4. 80
    Un món feliç de Aldous Huxley (TheBentley)
  5. 70
    Inside Out de Maria V. Snyder (flemmily)
    flemmily: Very similar heroines in similarly closed-off, oppressive worlds. Similar emphasis on an unknown "outside." Similar environmental emphasis, although Westerfeld focuses more on nature, whereas Snyder deals more with issues of population control.

    The House of the Scorpion de Nancy Farmer (goodiegoodie)
  7. 70
    Delirium de Lauren Oliver (LauraT81, BookshelfMonstrosity)
    LauraT81: Very similar dystopian societies where an operation is meant to subdue the members.
    BookshelfMonstrosity: In these intense dystopian novels, teenage girls start to question the life-changing operation their oppressive government mandates for teens. Both girls redefine their values and grapple with the possibility of escaping to a rebellious colony in the wilderness.… (més)

    Pretties de Scott Westerfeld (ysar)
  11. 40
    The White Mountains de John Christopher (KingRat)
    KingRat: The White Mountains contains issues similar to those of Uglies: secret control of a society, "mind control", induction into that society, and rebellion against it while pretending to be a member. There are obvious major differences too. Still, enough similarities in style and substance that I suspect people who enjoy one will enjoy the other.… (més)

    The Other Side of the Island de Allegra Goodman (2Mu)
    2Mu: Similar theme: A girl lives in a brainwashing, conformist society. A group of rebels knows the truth and is trying to break the control of those in power. The girl must choose between what she's been raised to think and the people she cares about/what she knows to be true.… (més)

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. ( )

Interesting take on how we view appearance. Looking forward to the second book. ( )
  Linyarai | Mar 6, 2024 |
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). ( )

I really enjoyed this YA classic. Both the audio and Kindle version read together. There was some odd formatting in the book though. Although not an impediment to reading the book, it was a bit odd. ( )

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.
