The Uglies Book Review

ATTENTION: If you're 11 years of age or younger, please get your parents'/guardians' permission before moving on to the book review.



        Two months ago, I started the Uglies tetralogy with the first installment. It's about Tally who looked forward to living in paradise in New Pretty Town with Peris. She's about to turn 16 on Sept. 9th, so she met up with a new friend named Shay. They had fun over the summer, prepping for turning pretty. When summer was over, Shay goes to the Smoke, which is camp in the wilderness.

        Things have changed when Tally didn't turn out to be pretty like everyone else. She's a special. She had a conflict - to get Shay so they can come back to the paradise and be pretty or never turn pretty at all.

        It's a recommendation for juniors over this past summer, but it's more than that - Zoe Jacobson from Tween/TeenTribune gave this book two thumbs up and it's OK for middle schoolers and up. I might think it's already part of that surviving summer imaginable on our voyage to senior year. But we looked for real imagination, not to act like Arabs from the big Fall River Edition of Arabian Nights. Thank you and hopefully, you may want to own a book at your local book stores now or you can get it from the library if you want. Thanks and I'll see you next time.
