Summary
Tally lives in a world where your 16th birthday brings aesthetic perfection: an operation that 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 15 - 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.

Book for young adults
I read this series as a teenager and loved it. Doesn't have the same impact now that I'm older.

Loved it!!
I stumbled upon this book after listening to ‘the girl who dared’ series (which is also a must listen/read) and this series did not disappoint. I loved the different types of characters that Scott created and the narration was spot on. The way in which Scott describes the world in which the series takes place is also very good, allowing the listener to conjure up a vivid image.

Great story, disappointing ending
I loved the premise of this story and couldn't wait to see what happened next. The events and characters were interesting and there were a few surprises on the way. Unfortunately, it felt like the writer just got bored at the end. I was listening to it as an audio book and was completely shocked when it just finished. Too much was left unresolved and to the reader's imagination. I much prefer my books to have a proper ending.

Entertaining and great concept
As a fan of dystopian literature I was intrigued by the unusual and relevant storyline. Its not the most beautifully written and the narrative can feel a little stodgy at times but a highly entertaining story! Can't wait to delve in to the rest of the series!
