Uglies is a book about a girl named Tally. When uglies turn 16, they go through an operation to turn them pretty. Tally's new friend Shay runs away because she doesn't want to become pretty. A positive element of this book is that it is exciting and has an interesting theme. However, it is a bit disturbing as the operation grinds your bones. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading about inner conflict and rebellion.
