I just started reading the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. I found this series in the young adult section and even though I’m 25 I’m thoroughly enjoying it. The book is set in a dystopian future where once you turn 16 you undergo a surgery that makes you “pretty”. Everyone seems happy, everyone looks the same but it’s not all fine and dandy in New Pretty Town.
The characters are likable and the book is not too predictable (I’m looking at you Twilight). It’s set in the future but the technology is believable and interesting. I’m thinking I would really like a bungee jacket. The main character, Tally, can handle herself. Yea she makes mistakes but she doesn’t always have to have a man come to her rescue (she’s no Bella).
I’m on book two in the series which I’m enjoying even more than book one. I’m done with the Twilight comparisons. It’s just nice to not have to roll my eyes so much while reading a book, or ALL FOUR BOOKS.
