    <body><![CDATA[I had to review all of these together, because it's actually one long story chopped up into three books.  It was a fast and fun read (mostly) in a could-be future, with lots of adventure and things to think about.  However, I hated that the first two books were total cliff-hangers (like I said befor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42011524">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The Uglies was a book club choice. Not a natural born sci-fi reader, I was pleasantly surprised. The story was interesting, they were all astonishingly quick reads and I ended up checking out The Pretties and The Specials the next day.<br/><br/>I do think that the whole story really could have bee...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75956071">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[       	<br/>The book Uglies must be one of the greatest books I have ever read. From beginning to end the book has kept my eyes reading every single word, creating a picture in my mind every second of the way. Scott Westerfeld does a fantastic job of creating a wonderful story.

    <body><![CDATA[A fascinating series about a future where everyone is surgically perfected into beautiful people that party constantly and are given everything they want. But at what cost? It started slow and simple (it's a teen novel, after all) but by the last one built into this epic tale. I loved the final book...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23127131">more...</a>]]></body>

Ok, so I started off the first book completely in love, then was frustrated with the end of the second one and the redundancy of the storyline, then bored to death at the first half of the third one, and now I feel ok with the ending (although the last line of t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20446175">more...</a>]]></body>
