Uglies by Scott Westerfeld is a dystopian future novel like no other. I could not put this book down. Everything about it was intriguing. It was written without many high vocabulary words so a younger reader could read it, but the overall message would confuse them. There is mild violence and practically no swearing. The main character is in love, but there is nothing more than kissing. I thought the message was a really good one and could bring up a discussion about looks and whether they really matter. I think that message is important because we indulge too much in how everyone looks when we should be thinking about how people are on the inside. I recommend this novel to my fellow dystopian fans.
