Christopher’s comments from the F 16 Junior English group.

In this book, I read about a utopian society where people have been segregated into four groups called: Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras. It starts off with a Girl named Tally; Tally is an Ugly. Tally… Tally is going through some rough times, in just 3 months she will become a Pretty, and be able to go and live in NewPrettyTown; therefore, she is leaving Uglyvill for ever. In this society of dwellers, virtually everyone starts out as a Littley( a Littley is a child form age 1-12 until they turn 13 and become an Ugly.) Now Tally has also lost a her friend, Paris, to NewPrettyTown. She can’t wait to become a Pretty and causes trouble for the beautiful Town of Pretty people. I think that this book was a great read, it was intriguing and full of Rebellious behavior of Tally. I would recommend this book for teenagers because maybe they can relate to it a lot. The urge to be free and independent. The everlasting want to be beautiful, strong, and smart, at the same time. Always having to have fun, getting that euphoric feeling whenever you get to experience what you truly enjoy. One of my favorite scenes in the book was when Shay,(a friend Tally meets relatively soon, in the book) takes Tally out of her comfort-zone, and takes her on the joy ride of her life. I would give this book an 8.5, because it was a really good read, but the plot hadn’t caught my attention ‘till later in the book, when things got dicy with Tally and Paris. So, anyway, if you like sci-fi, adventure, and drama; mixed with romance, suspense, and mystery. Then this is the Book for YOU!
