Uglies: A world where everyone is pretty!
By Shweta Shah, 10/17/2013 12:26:55 AM
In the dystopian world of the novel Uglies, everyone is turned pretty once they are sixteen. *Hoverboards* Since when is beauty all about homogeneity? What matters - your looks or your essence (personality)? Is beauty/ugly a relative term? Would you be an ugly for life and not undergo the operation? What follows is Tally Youngwood’s story. *Hoverboards* Interesting plot but it could have been executed better. At one point of time, I felt a short story would have dealt with the theme better since the author repeats the adventures (Tally recollects them to boast about it to her friends) which was redundant. And much of the journey is skipped, they took 3 days to cross the river. What happened during those three days? Nothing? Hard to believe since they were on the run. *Hoverboards* Total time pass, if you have loads of free time. Otherwise, just think about the questions I wrote. Also, I want a hoverboard.
