Good for younger students. I thought the ideas were good, but it needs more development in my opinion. Also the descriptions were lacking, and the "slang" was irritating and uninspiring. Good idea though.

Even though Uglies was different from the books I usually read, I did enjoy it. It reminded me of Orwell's 1984 without being so dark. The idea of mind control, Big Brother and so-called utopian society are interesting to think about as we continue the shift toward bigger government in this country. It also addresses relevant ideas about the perception of beauty. I look forward to discussing it with my book club this week.

Sudah lama punya bukunya tapi dianggurin di rak *_*)_ Suka dengan world-building di buku ini, lebih masuk akal IMO dibanding sejumlah kawan-kawan dystopian YA lainnya. Sayang, setelah mengikuti tren dytopian YA beberapa tahun terakhir, sudah tidak ada yang terasa baru di cerita ini. Karakter Tally terasa lebih bold daripada beberapa protagonis segenre lain, tapi aku cukup terganggu dengan sikap pembohong dia, mana masih pula selalu dipercaya/dimaafkan/dimaklumi sama karakter-karakter lainnya hhh . .)_

I wouldn’t say the book was good but it was enjoyable. The plot was intriguing but also very predictable. The characters were just all oddly annoying. Some parts really dragged. The worst part for me was the fact that I couldn’t really picture anything in my head. I don’t think I’ll be reading the rest of the series at this time. Maybe later on down the line I will, but for now, I will be putting it off.

Uglies is interesting, a new world, new theories etc. It was ok which is why i rated it 2 stars. I didn't "love" the characters, and if someone died, which they did, i just kept on reading. I didn't get into the book as much as I would of liked. With some books you feel every emotion, from happiness, hurt, betrayal and everything in between. Not so with this one, at least for me. I would kind of like to know what happens, but not enough to read the next book. Maybe I will just read some reviews with spoilers?! lol :)
