Do you often dream about what the future holds? Fun, money, peace, happiness...well, I guarantee that Scott Westerfeld's version of the future is something you've never imagined.
In "Uglies" we meet Tally, a fifteen-year-old-girl on the verge of her sixteenth birthday. She lives in Uglyville, where all children live until they turn sixteen and have the operation to turn them pretty. Tally can't wait to have the operation, be pretty, go to pretty parties and have pretty boyfriends. Unfortunately, Tally meets Shay and the two girls become friends. Shay doesn't want to be pretty and has a plan to run away. Tally refuses to go and when Shay turn up missing...well, I'll just say that the authorities aren't very pleased. Tally is put in a terrible position- betray her friends or be ugly forever. What will she choose...
I think the story that drives these four books is wonderful. Westerfeld paints such an enticing picture you can't wait to find out what's happened to Tally and her friends. The books are easy and fast reads, once you read the first one you'll want to read them all! The imaginative world of this series will thrill you and scare you at the same time...Enjoy!

This is by far my favorite series I have ever read. I am on the 3rd book,specials, and they "tie" along very nicely, but my friend read the 4th book and said its really confusing, so be prepared!
