#Friday Reads (12)

This weekend I'll be finishing Uglies, the first book on the Uglies series created by Scott Westerfeld. This is actually one of the books I pledged to read this year for my A to Z challenge. A lot of people like this series and I want to see what it has that makes it so special.

Here's the synopsis:

Tally Youngblood is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait for the operation that turns everyone from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to party. But new friend Shay would rather hoverboard to "the Smoke" and be free. Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The "Special Circumstances" authority Dr Cable offers 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.

I've already read about a third of the book and so far I'm enjoying it. As soon as I'm done with it, I'll post my review :)
