The Uglies Trilogy

The Uglies Trilogy- Scott Westerfeld

I have to say i am not a HUGE fan of trilogies because i think once you have read one book about a person that is enough. When my dad got me these books i was like "ugh dad...this is dumb" but of course, i ended up reading it. As always, i loved it.

Uglies-This book is very different, that's all i have to say. When i read the first chapter my head was hurting and i did not understand a WORD. I was so freaked out that i read the chapter again and i understood where the author was going with this story, i was stunned. How could something like that come to a humans minds? Its awesome. There are kids called 'uglies' that stay 'ugly' until they are sixteen and they end up getting a huge plastic surgery that make them...'pretty' and 'perfect'. In every book something stands in the way of something that the character wants, Tally wants to be pretty. There are always her usual teenager problems but she gets surprised by her best friend, Shay. Facing an adventure and betraying a friend is not that easy and that is what this book is about.

The second book in the trilogy is about when Tally finally becomes pretty, if you haven't read the first book you wouldn't know what the heck goes on in this book. Tally faces a challenge and she has to heal from her 'pretty' ways. As always, something stands in her way or something huge changes. Zane, who is her new love interest in the story, is like Tally and he knows the secrets of being pretty. He wants to face it with her and together they try to same the world.

This book was kind of tiring and too gross for me, i really didn't like this. It REALLY scared me because they talked of blood and cutting, it made my put down the book really fast. Confession: i only read to page 150. This is the 3th time i ever stopped reading a book in the middle of it, i was actually falling asleep while reading it. They talked about how Tally turned into a Special [something similar to the FBI, you get a special surgery for it to be strong and tough] i didnt really understand why they cut their wrists at all, but it made me gag a couple of times. I cant say i recomed this book, unless you really want to read it.
