Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license -- for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.

But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. 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 the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.

Excelente! Prende atenção do início ao fim

A série começa extremamente bem com Uglies. O escritor consegue contar a história de forma fluida e eletrizante.

Cada acontecimento é separado por uma série de capítulos amarrados de forma excepcional por um mestre na arte de narrar.

Me lembrou bastante a atmosfera de His Dark Materials (de Philip Pullman): a atmosfera, não a trama.

Impossível de parar de ler.

Perfeito! Recomendo fortemente!
