Book reviews by youth for youth

 

Summary:

 

Uglies is a book about two teenagers named Tally  and Shay. The day of their long life is coming around the corner soon, the day the turn pretty. Nothing could ever interfere with that dream, until now. Tally and Shay discover the life before them, (our time) and realizes that it still exists in a place called the smoke. There they have a job to do. Their life had always seemed so clear and obvious to them, until now...

 

Review:

 

The first book, I thought was creative and intriguing, but after that it all went downhill from there. As you may know, Scott Westerfeld is one of my well loved authors, but I have to admit, this book was certainly not his best. 

 

Story:

 

Well, the original plot is most certainly creative, but as the series continued it grew worse. I loved the story I personally loved, its just the language that was extremely intimidating to me. They called each other "Tally-wa" and "Shay-la", and quite clearly I didn't get why, AT ALL. They also used adjatives such as "bubbly", and "crim" and personally, I think it could have been better. Other than that it was entertaining, I suppose.

 

Level of Difficulty:

 

Well, this book isn't exactly difficult to understand, so I suppose it would have a wide range of readers. Most likely from around 8-80.

 

Overall, not one of my favorites to be honest...
