Uglies by Scott WesterfeldThis is going to be another super short review because I really disliked this book.

Actually, not only did I dislike it but I was also disappointed by it. The premise was really interesting and had the potential to be so much better–think another Hunger Games type of story. But I think the author failed in his execution. I didn’t connect with any of the characters, which is rare for me because there’s usually at least one that I can relate to or identify with in some way.

Also, the writing wasn’t particularly engaging. I found myself nodding off quite a few times. The story got so boring that it literally made me fall asleep.

There are two three more books in this series, but I have no plans to read them and don’t recommend this one.

    Yeah, that’s probably true. If I had read this before, I might’ve liked it a little more.
