But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world - and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.
Scott Westerfeld's first book in the "Uglies" trilogy was an action packed, page turner that examines true beauty, loyalty, ethics, honesty and government control. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will get the second book Pretties right away .

Sounds like one I should read! Good review!
I loved this book too! The whole series was great - and hard to put down. :)
I think I'm the only person who felt blah about this book. And I just didn't care enough to read Pretties.
I just came down from my book room where I grabbed this book and Hunger Games and put them in a pile of books that I WILL read over spring break!! Can't wait to get to this one!!
Another one of those books that is on my radar, but I haven't gotten around to reading. I think I will read it this year for my U book in the A-Z reading challenge!
*smiles*
Oh Nise, you have to stop doing such a good job with your reviews, My pile of books is ever growing, and I don't feel like dusting around them, so I just read. It's bad around here. thanks for your review, haven't disappointed me yet.
P.S. I love your new "boxed in" review format. Looks very clean, and easy to find your thought.
I've had this on my wish list for awhile. Glad you liked it.
Sounds good.
Glad you liked it Nise. I did too!
