- Book Synopsis
- The second installment of Scott Westerfeld's international bestselling Uglies series - the global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend. In Tally's world, looks are all that matters. And now that she's finally undertaken the surgery to become a 'Pretty', everything seems perfect: her looks are flawless, her clothes are cool, her boyfriend is totally gorgeous, and she's completely popular. But beneath the fun of non-stop parties, high-tech luxury and apparent total freedom, Tally can't stop a nagging sense that something is wrong. Something important. Then a message from her 'Ugly' past arrives, forcing Tally to remember the truth she learned before her transformation, and the fun stops cold. Because the true price of this perfect world is more than Tally is willing to pay… Praise for Uglies 'Fast paced, exciting and thought-provoking.' The Bookseller's Choice 'Superb sci-fi.' Amanda Craig, The Times Supplement 'Westerfeld introduces thought-provoking issues' Publishers Weekly 'The longing for fairy-tale beauty has never looked so sinister' Amanda Craig, The Times 'With a beginning and ending that pack hefty punches, this introduction to a dystopic future promises an exciting series.' Kirkus *starred review* 'This exciting story makes you realise how important it is not to judge people by appearances.' Newcastle Upon Tyne Journal 'This book is a real thrill-ride and the world utterly convincing.' Trashionista.com 'Fun, and the many by-the-skin-of-your-teeth escapes and hoverboard chases, plus the non-stop action plotting were enough to catch my attention and have me eagerly wanting more.'
