Uglies

by Scott Westerfeld

I’m so glad that I finally got around to read Uglies — a popular book amongst many of my students, mostly girls. Now that I have read it, I have to adjust my perception of it 180 degrees — it is NOT a book for just girls; it is NOT really a YA-only book; it has a LOT of adventurous actions; it has QUITE A BIT of complexities. A gripping read and I will promote it to both boys and girls, to SciFi readers, and to those who want to think hard and dig deep into a world of dystopia.
