Uglies

Uglies
By Scott Westerfeld
*****
You get to have an operation that turns you into a pretty from an ugly when you finally turn 16. But for Tally, it's diffrent. Her friend Shay has got the same birthday as Tally, but she doesn't want to turn pretty at all. So she decides to escape uglyville, to a place called Smoke. Since Tally has been her best friend for a while, she has to take responsibility for where Shay's gone and why she has left. The problem is, that untill she finds Shay, she will never turn pretty; which means ugly for life. Now Tally will be forced to take an unexpected jorney to find Shay.
My best part of this book is when Tally goes into the 'Special Circumstances'. This is the place where people who have 'Special Circumstances' for the operations have to go. The place is full of Specials, who are pretty, but cruely beautiful, with a cold look on their faces. Anyhow, a Specialist called Dr.Cable sends Tally to find Shay, which Tally didn't want to. The conversation between them are very interesting, which explains why it is my favourite part of the book.
I really want to recommend this book to you becuase it has stunning turnovers and the book itself is just fantastic. Addicting, and becuase there are whole series of this book, you will never get sick of it. I have a feeling that you will totally LOVE this book.

You gave Uglies ***** for a rating and your text really sells it well. I hope you read more of the series and enjoy the following books at the same high level. Yong Hee, you don't have to summarize the book in such detail. An overview is fine, then more detail on a best part. Just keep it to that next time.
