Reviews for "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld

Samantha Phillips (December 13, 2019)

Title: Uglies

Author: Scott Westerfield

Description: It is set in a future post-apocalyptic world in which everyone is considered an "ugly," but then turned "Pretty" by extreme cosmetic surgery when they reach the age of 16.

Review: This first installment of the uglies series is probably one of my favorite books (along with the other three). The way Westerfield manages to so vividly create a whole world and make it see so natural and real is amazing. The book does a really great job in dealing with a image-obsessed society and the ethics of altering your body’s appearance while simultaneously narrating with his relatable characters.

Rating: 5/5
