OH MY GOD I AM UP TO SPECIALS AND IT IS AMAZING
Amazing its really good and i enjoyed reading it.
I'm not really fan of dystopian, but i had to read this book and i really like it.
I'm not really the dystopian kind of reader, but this was amazing! Tally is a really strong character, and I really love getting surprised by what she does. My favorite character is probably Shay, and it is so frustrating when she gets mad at Tally, but has no idea what really happened. Great book!
I also really like the author's idea of what happened before there were uglies and pretties and specials and stuff.
Pretty decent.I didnt think it was the most interesting books in the world.
Favorite book series of all time
This original book is good, and I loved it, but after that, and through reading Pretties, I put down the book, (Pretties) and returned it to the library. I was totally mad at her: (Come on! What happened to true love?) and I will never read it again. I was disgusted with her. Just as a warning to anybody who ever picks up the series.
This book was one of the best I have ever read. So, Tally Youngblood is an AWESOME character! You should totally read this book.
maybe I will try it...
This book was so awesome. I loved it! Uglies is about a girl who lives in a world that is set in the future(I think). I really liked this book a whole lot.
