Final Post for the Uglies
So, on the whole I enjoyed the Uglies and it was a very intriguing read. I was sad about the fact that David's father, Az, had died under the hands of being experimented on by the Specials. I was surprised by the fact that only Shay had been turned into a Pretty when Tally and David arrived as the rescue party. I figured all the captives would have either been turned Pretty or killed. I really hate the way the book ended, I have to admit. It was entirely too abrupt and left me hanging, but I suppose that was the point since it is a series. On the whole though, the message I got out of the book was that it is okay to be Pretty, in a sense, as long as your head and your heart are still true to yourself.

The author had to find a good ending point so that he could hook the reader and sell more books. I knew we would be left hanging. I would like to see how you found this story apocalyptic though. Many of your comments were full summary and opinion. Maybe we can talk about it later.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I didn't really find the book apocalyptic since it was based in a present world. I knew in the back of my mind while reading it that there had been past worlds that had died out, but to me, that wasn't the primary focus of the book.
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of it being an apocalyptic book, I think that the whole point of it being apocalyptic is because its post world society and the author consistently refers back to the Rusties as a world that was important to the way the new society was built.
