Uglies Quartet - by Scott Westerfield!
Summary from amazon -
Tally lives in a world where your sixteenth birthday brings aesthetic perfection: an operation which erases all your flaws, transforming you from an 'Ugly' into a 'Pretty'. She is on the eve of this important event, and cannot wait for her life to change. As well as guaranteeing supermodel looks, life as a Pretty seems to revolve around having a good time. But then she meets Shay, who is also fifteen - but with a very different outlook on life. Shay isn't sure she wants to be Pretty and plans to escape to a community in the forest - the Rusty Ruins - where Uglies go to escape ' turning'. Tally won't be persuaded to join her, as this would involve sacrificing everything she's ever wanted for a lot of uncertainty. When she is taken in for questioning on her birthday, however, Tally gets sent to the Ruins anyway - against her will. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she could ever imagine: find her friend Shay and turn her in, or never turn Pretty at all. What she discovers in the Ruins reveals that there is nothing 'pretty' about the transformations...And the choice Tally makes will change her world forever.
I finally read it! and all I can say is WOW! no really, the story was amazing in a very imaginative sense literally, the story takes place hundreds years after and how the civilization has changed to something else. all I can say is I totally fell in love with the name of the places, Ugly-ville and New pretty town how funny is that HAHA! I couldn't stop thinking how funny the names were even the story was a bit serious.
However the story is about Tally a girl whose fifteen and is on the verge to go from ugly to pretty during this she meets a girl named Shay who becomes her friend and realizes that they both share the same birthday which means they become pretty together. Tally and Shay are seen in the beginning as being rebellious they go places at night. we find out our bad ass heroine realizes that not everyone wants to be pretty.
Finally, a week before turning pretty finally (Tally) dream come true. best friends Shay decides to run away leaving behind a cryptic message and sworn secrecy not to tell. Tally whose worried she wont get pretty finally meets the "Specials" who gives her few options to help them or never become pretty Tally distraught agrees and is off to a place called "Smoke" which happens to have Uglies who never wants to become pretties.
All I can say is, the stories were mind boggling it drew me in straight away and I couldn't be happier to read this, I remember picking it up from the library giving second thoughts but now that I finished the series I totally regret not reading it earlier! I loved Extra I think that was a different story however it had a more interesting depth but to ones own right? yours could be different.
But seriously if you want a very imaginative and very interesting read try this no joke! one of the great series to come by. :) I totally recommend this to anyone who wants to read it especially those who want something different to read ;)
