A little me for me at the start, couldn't get into to it but then bam it took ahold.
From birth until you are 16 years of age you look the way you are meant to, ugly as they call it. Then sweet sixteen roles around and you are taken away and made "pretty", in otherwords you are made to be like everyone else. Not only are you physically beautiful but mentally your mind is changed, you've "grown-up".
Fantastic story, brilliant even. ...more

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Pretties, the sequel is on the tbr. And Specials is waiting to be read also, they are all part of a trilogy.
I have to confess I liked this a lot more than I thought would. I used to love watching The Twilight Zone and one of my favorite episodes was when everyone became beautiful upon their (can't remember - 16th? 18th? birthday). This book was that episode expanded by quite a bit. Lots of interesting observations about what defines beauty and self-worth.
I think I'm actually going to have to read the next book! ...more

Tally youngblood lives in a world where everyone is considered ugly until they have surgery at 16 to turn them pretty. Tally's friend shay doesn't want to have the surgery and she runs away to the smoke. Tally is then forced to follow Shay and give away the smokes location or she'll stay ugly forever. The writing could stand improvement and the beginning of the book was really slow. The teen love story was boring to me. I did get sucked in by the end of the book so I do want to read the next boo

This book was pretty good. It left me hanging just enough to be very interested in getting the next book, Pretties.
