Thebeautifulsea | Aug 7, 2022 |  enjoyable, fund concept (  ) McBeezie | Jul 27, 2022 | I honestly thought by the description and reviews on this book that it was for an older audience (older YA) but it is clearly not. I got a little dragged down with main character some, but that is to be expected given the target audience. An interesting story that got better as the book went on. Not sure if I will continue to read the series though. (  ) MBTC | Jul 9, 2022 | I really enjoyed this. It's highly readable with interesting characters, but what really grabbed me were all the interesting ideas. Nothing is clear cut in Uglies. While Tally and the Smokies are the protagonists, there are still a lot of ethical grey areas in their world. What kinds of sacrifices are acceptable for peace? And if the Smokies get what they want, what might be the ramifications? Nothing is absolutely good or bad, right or wrong, and that makes for a truly engaging read. ( ) slimikin | Mar 27, 2022 | In a paradise on earth, people have figured out how to make everyone beautiful, be environmentally sustainable, and just party all day and night long. But at what cost? It's a book for teens. We got "Pretties", "Uglies", "Rusties", "Smokies", and "Littlies". There are sequels. I wonder if they ever touch on the concept of "ideal" beauty when it comes to race? I don't know if I could read the sequel because the excerpt was so superficial (as intended) that it's tough to read. If I had a teenager somewhere in my life, I would consider offering them to read the book. Otherwise, I would throw this question to the adults out there ... What's the cost of individual freedom? Is it worth surrendering happiness? Is it worth war? Is it worth damaging the earth? Damaging each other? Damaging yourself? ( ) wellington299 | Feb 19, 2022 |
 The Uglies books are the perfect parables of adolescent life, where adult-imposed milestones, rituals, and divide-and-rule tactics amp children's natural adolescent insecurities into a full-blown, decade-long psychosis.

Tally è una ragazza normale. Ma essere normali, nel suo mondo, equivale a essere brutti. Brutti solo fino a sedici anni, fino a quando non si è sottoposti per legge a un'operazione di chirurgia estetica che rende bellissimi e uguali a tutti gli altri "perfetti". Ecco perché Tally non vede l'ora di compiere sedici anni. Ma poco prima del giorno fatidico incontra Shay, che le fa scoprire il brivido dell'imprevisto e il fascino dell'imperfezione e la mette al corrente di un'inquietante versione dei fatti. Tally adesso non vede l'ora di conoscere la verità. E sarà più difficile e pericoloso di un'operazione... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

― Scott Westerfeld, Uglies
I read this whole trilogy. While I found some things to admire about it, particularly the theme of non conformity, I just could not get into it as much as I hoped.
This is a series where much of the focus is action oriented rather than dialogue driven and that was my first issue. I usually prefer it the other way around.
There was also much I did not understand. And it (the whole series really) was a bit to YA for me. I think I'd have preferred this in my High School days.
I did wind up reading the whole series. Not bad but I was disturbed by this one and all the cutting. I also think I'd have got more out of it had it been the first Dystopian I'd read.
At the end of the day, while I can appreciate the themes of the series and the atmosphere and the hover crafts which were fun, this was the the book nor the series for me. (
