Review of 'Uglies' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

just a - hm

future times, everyone gets to be pretty once they turn 16. i would have rated it higher if the author didn't spin it into an necessary trilogy.

liked the themes of exploring what is beauty and why do we pursue it. a worthy novel for the YA crowd being force fed a diet of celebrity mags
