The first installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series—a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.
Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can’t wait. In just a few weeks she’ll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she’ll be catapulted into a high-tech paradise where her only job is to have fun.
But Tally’s new friend Shay isn’t sure she wants to become a pretty. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world—and it isn’t very pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. Tally’s choice will change her world forever.

Nothing Remarkable
3By $k¥£The book was ok but it wasn’t comparable to most dystopian books at all.Amazing
5By UnicornzealotWonderful book with great plot development. Been a favorite since I was a teenager.Never gets old
5By CarissalanaCouldn’t tell you how many times I’ve read this book, but it’s timeless. I think I read it a few times a year. This book truly transports you into its world and you really feel as though you’re seeing it and seeing Tally for who she is. Amazing.Excellent Book
5By khall005Easy read!Great!
5By ZisforZoeyIt was a really cool book and it was entertaining to imagine the atmosphere the were in since it has more of a sci-fi feel to it. Excited for the movie too!My favorite YA dystopian series
5By Becc-0Seriously awesome stories. Even enjoyed the forth book extras (tho not as much). If your into hunger games, the reds queen, divergent, etc series then you’ll really enjoy this one. They’ve freaking sold the rights to this book to install into movie format like 15 years ago but we still have no movies yet! Arg.Nostalgia at it’s finest
5By JkjjjndbdI read this back when it was first published, and I have to say after rereading it, it’s just as fantastic as the first time!Amazing

4By c.an.diceI’ve always seen this story in my middle school years but I haven’t picked it up until now. I enjoyed reading this but I do think it could’ve been a bit more on the plot but I loved it regardless.👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
5By amandax345A start of a fantastic series of books. It really makes you think. If you like Hunger Games and teen dystopian novels you will love this. I really hope they come out with the movie soon!Amazing as always
5By LexNottinghamOnce I heard they were making a movie I knew I had to reread them! I read them all in middle school and am so excited to read them again now that I’m an adult!Great
5By Rkstar2208This was amazing I absolutely love it I couldn’t put it down I would definitely recommend it.love this book! 🤩
5By posey!!!Realllly good book! So I had just finished the divergent series and I was convinced that I would never find a book I loved more, but then someone suggested this to me and I definitely found a new favorite. Tally is such a cool character to explore. Love the plot! Also not going to spoil but the ending is sooo awesome! I totally recommend! 😁Childhood Favorite
5By iAxllyI first found this book at a scholastic book fair when I was in the 6th grade. I have always felt that Tally was a very relatable character. This book is so good, Scott is an amazing author.My favorite series
5By K.R. HuntThe uglies series has been my favorite series of a year and I recommend it to anyone who like futuristic society books, or anyone because it’s just that good.Mehhhhh... this book needs some character development
3By romance reader :)Ok so I will give u this, the plot and storyline was great!! Very creative!! But I think that Tally just changes her mind about a million times throughout the series. Like, do u love David or Zane!?!? Who’s it gonna be!?! So yea that was really annoying. And all the characters didn’t have very relatable personalities. *SPOILER* Like, for example, David is “ in love” with Shay and then Tally shows up and just like that, he’s head over heels for her. Like WHAT?? All I could think abt is poor Shay. But yea that’s the only thing I didn’t like abt this series but otherwise I’ll give it a thumbs up. 👍🏼
