A review by cobycoyle
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
2.0
The concept/plot? Good.
The writing? Eh...
I remember loving these books as kids, and after a reread now, this is not one of my favorite YA books. I do get what Scott Westerfeld was going for, I just think the writing left a little to be desired. I know it's a YA book, but the writing just seemed so...not exactly juvenile, but...hmm, I don't know what word I'm grasping for.
I also think there is some unexplained things that lend to some aspects not making sense, such as why Tally calls her parents by their first names, why they don't live with their parents. I get parents are Pretties, but...
I just don't know what to think of some of this.
But onto Pretties I go.
