Uglies

I find that the characters, mostly the main character, were all really interesting.  Every character was different, and they all contributed to the story.  I couldn't stop reading because every time I went to put it down there was another cliff hanger.  Something big would happen and you had to know what it was.  It didn't seem like it was work reading it because it never got boring, there was to much happening for it to be boring.  I think anybody who read the Hunger Games would love this book.  It has the same action and the same purpose, to overthrow an evil government with to much control.  I really like this author, Scott Westerfeld, he wrote the Leviathan, and it's sequels, which are nothing like this book, although equally good.  I picked this book because my friend at camp knew that I liked the Hunger Games, and told me I had to read it.  Once I started I didn't put it down.  I normally look for fantasy and adventure, so this book was perfect for me, and anyone else who likes the same thing.  It was so good that I didn't stop reading it for a good two days or so.  Once I was done with the first, I had to get the rest, and ended up finishing those in a week and a half.  I really couldn't put it down, it had to many cliff hangers to stop.  I think anyone who tries this book will like it.

  2. Lauren,
    I think the book you chose is a great book. I have not read the book yet but I hope I get to. Its looks like you couldn't stop reading the book. You didn't give to much information away. That's good. Great book suggestion!

  3. Westerfield'd Leviathanbooks are SO different than these - and he has two other series - his PEEPS and Midnighters books.

    I liked Uglies and I read maybe three of the four books in this series. I look at these as a part of a sub-genre of fantasy fiction - what I call Science Future - often the dystopian view of the future is what makes these similar - and in that this book does remind me of The Hunger Games. Neither book has a particularly hopeful vision for the future.
