In a world of extreme beauty, anyone normal is ugly... 

Tally Youngblood, is finally pretty. Now, her life is exposed to all the luxuries and advantages to being a pretty; the neverending parties, the gazing stares, and the newest technology, and of course the best clothes and necessities. Nothing could go wrong and Tally's world could never go bad...until now.

What happens when messages from the past start creeping up with Tally. Tally is learning more and more information about the changing to a pretty, and the specials don't let anyone with this info alive.

I absolutely love this book! Once, there's a book that exposes the ugly truth of surgery and materialism. The book reveals a scary truth over vanity and greed, and yet, it still has a side storyline of action and romance. With a surprise in every chapter, this book will make readers crave for Speicals and Extras.

I really liked how the book never stopped with the action. Even with the little things, Westerfeld still surprised me and once open my mouth and wanted to scream "NO!" You will love to hate some of the characters and may find something new about yourself. 

This book has a prequel, Uglies, and two sequels, Specials and Extras. I highly suggest you read this book. I feel privelaged enough that the author actually made sequels and is still writing.

I also suggest you check out Westerfeld's other works, like "Peeps" and "Midnighters Trilogy." All of his books prove that Westerfeld is a force to be reckon with in the publishing agency and will be one of the best teen authors of our time.

5 Stars.
