When they reach the age of 16 they undergo an extensive surgery to become Pretty (there’s New Pretties followed by Middle Pretties, etc. Uglies while frankly ugly in comparison to the surgical beauty around them are actually natural unsculpted teens. Kids are cute, so there’s no problem there, but as they age they become Uglies. In an effort to strip racism and beauty-based bullying from society and to implement equality the government and the “Pretty Committee” have set up look-based life stages every citizen undergoes. The world-building makes me envious as it is full of possibility, dreams, and of course hoverboards! A place so easy to envision that it will stick in your mind for daydreams to come.Īnd speaking of world-building, this series captures a world where looks are so important they become regulated. This is a YA Dystopian Trilogy plus a companion novel. The characters are awesome, well-written, and well-developed.
I’ll try not to spoil anything for any of the books but at least you’ve been warned. Basically just scroll as far as you care to read. I’ve decided to write a giant review for the series (broken down book by book though) rather than post four separate reviews. I first read this series in 8 th grade and then five more times since then because I’m just a huge fan. I fell in love with this series, you might not feel the same way, but that’s fine. I’ll take any disagreement as a sign that we’re not brainwashed and who could be mad about that? A friend checked it out from the school library and said she liked it so each time she finished a book she gave it to me so I could read it. I’m just glad that I read these pre-Goodreads because I had no expectations. Some people just didn’t get into these books or felt that it didn’t live up to the hype, that’s fine. If you’re looking for someone to cast as either Shay or Tally I 1200% volunteer!) This series is seriously one of my top favorites! I still cannot believe that they haven’t turned them into movies yet. *This post contains 4 separate reviews (Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras) for the series so scroll with caution* YA Fiction | Sci-Fi | Dystopian
