AMAZING SERIES!!!

This one of the best series ever!!!! I was sad when i read all of them, he should make another book!!!

Ilove this series sooooooooo much

I love this book and I recommend it for people who love to read alot!

This book is about an "Ugly" named Tally Youngblood. She is 15 and so ready to become a "Pretty," a mandatory surgery that happens when you turn 16. After all, who would turn down the ultimate beauty operation,and some time just to hang out with your friends and just P-A-R-T-Y? Her beat friend has already changed and moved so Tally feels lonely. Then she meets Shay, a rebel that wants to leave the towns and go live in a forbidden place. Shay really wants Tally to leave with her, but she declines. When the Specials find out, unless Tally finds Shay and turns her in, Tally won't turn Pretty.

I just finished this book and i LOVE it!!!! So amazing and intriguing. It's about a girl named Tally who makes a friend over the summer who has the same birthday as her- which means they will turn "Pretty" (getting a huge makeover that makes you ultra-beautiful) on the same day. However, the girl (named Shay) doesn't want to be pretty. And when Shay runs away, Tally is faced with an impossible decision- find Shay and turn her in, or never become pretty. Ever. -E., (Sky)

I totally second that:)

Everyone wants to become Pretty, especially Tally Youngblood. Shes been waiting all of her life to turn 16 and become Pretty. But when her summer friend Shay drags her into the wild and crazy things happen.

What do you get when you cross the Hunger Games with the Giver? Uglies, that's what! This book is about a teenage girl named Tally living in a dystopian world. When she turns 16, she will get the Operation that will transform her into a stunning Pretty. These Operations are mandatory by order of the government, and meant to ensure that everyone will be equal. But Tally isn't so sure she wants the Operation anymore. And when she meets Shay, a rebel who is trying to run away from society to avoid the operation, Tally is even more unsure. Then Shay runs away, and Tally is ordered o make a choice: betray her friend or never turn pretty.
