Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

I currently read the book Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. It is a science fiction.
It is about Tally Youngblood. She is fifteenth years old, she can't wait to turn sixteen. On her sixteenth birthday she is going to have surgery and turn pretty just like everyone else who is sixteen. The surgery made people look perfect. After they turn pretty they move into the town of pretties. The pretties don't have to work or go to school. For them every day is a party, all they do is to have fun. Tally's best friend Peri already turned pretty so she couldn't wait till she could join him in pretty town, but everything changed when she met Shay. Shay and Tally became really close friends. Unfortunately Shay didn't have the same opinion on turning pretty as Tally did. Shay thought there was nothing special about looking pretty like everyone else. She didn't think that people beneath sixteen was ugly, she thought they looked normal. Everyone Tally knew wanted to be pretty just as much as she wanted to be pretty herself, everyone except Shay. Shay made her decision. She ran away. The choice Shay made affected Tally's life forever.

I am giving the book 4 stars.
My sister recommended this book to me because I didn't have any other books to read. I think that mainly girls would like this book. Mostly because the story is seen from a girl's point of view.
Uglies reminds me about The Hunger Games because both of the stories takes place in the future. You can especially feel that in Uglies, because she lives in a world with very high and advanced technology.
