This Series is AMAZING! It's out of this world, I love how the author captures the pain in how he looks at things like I would've never of looked at certain scenarios this way. This series will keep you constantly changing your mind & being on different sides of different situations, it can be pretty confusing at times, but in a way it makes it better because you can just go back and reread the books & see things you didn't see before, you'll never be bored with the Uglies Saga (: And it super insanely cool how the "their world" in the book is like a "past" of our world is frozen and they fast forwarded and they're so advanced & they talk about all of these...unusal...bugs that can eat gasoline & a lot of cool inventions, that really make you wonder(= my vote: it's a GREAT read !

Westerfeld has created a world that is both whizzbang and creepy. It's a future that seems very specifically designed to address questions about the present. They aren't simple questions: What is worth giving up to ensure equality? What makes a person attractive? What constitutes good stewardship of the planet? All of this is the substance to a book that also offers the style of a good story, one that left me curious to find out where it is going. ( )

Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies series is utterly bubbly! Anyone who says different is totally brain-missing!

I absolutely loved this series! I was totally swept away into the future world that Westerfeld created. Westerfeld uses complex and detailed descriptions, leaving you, the reader, feeling as if you are a part of that world.

I am so glad I picked these books up! I would definitely recommend them! ( )

I usually don´t read youth books, but this series was more than I expected. A very exciting story about Tally Toungblood and her adventures. The series has a lot of gibes about how the future may become.

The story is, as I already said, set in the future. The old world, our world, has gone under. Centuries has passed, and to make everyone equal and peaceful, everyone gets an operation when they turns 16 which makes them beautiful. But besides you look, they also fiddle with your brain so that youl´ll be an dizzy but happy citizen in Beauty Town.

The whole series include: Ugly, Pritties and Specials. Then Extras is an fourth book but with another chief person. ( )
