Uglies: Shay's Story by Scott Westerfeld, Devin Grayson, Steven Cummings
3.0
Well.
Imagine there's a place where you can go and be drop dead gorgeous, have all the fun you can stand, not have to worry about work or other mundane things like jealousy or anger or other scary emotions. You're always happy. You're always beautiful, and so is everyone else.
Okay so that's the evil way to live. This book is about how really living is roughing it up in the wild and doing hard work and feeling all the emotions.
It's also about really awkward dialogue and very tenuous plot points. And an author who has difficulty directing your attentions to one thing or another.
I gave it three stars because the premise is... interesting, and maybe it gets better later in the series? Does that ever happen?
