What did the author do well? I liked pretty much most of the book. I liked the how it was formatted and organized. The book Uglies is set up in parts. In all there are three parts and 425 pages in the book. Its set in a future “utopian” in where everything is segregated by age and if you are a prettie or not. The main characters in the book were Tally, Shay, Peris, David, and Dr. Cable. Tally is the character you hang out the most and get to know about the most. Shay is Tally’s friend when they meet three months before the operation to turn prettie. Shay thinks being a prettie makes you look like everyone else and thinks she does not need it to be pretty. Later on she runs away from the town. Tally disagrees and says “Everyone's ugly until they’re pretty”(Westerfeld79).Dr. Cable is the main antagonist in the story I think. She is the one that tells Tally to find Shay. I feel like Shay is a well fit together character that has reasons why she ran away. She did not to be in the city that glorified and made the image of beauty to be the same looking person. I thought Tally was not that good of a character. She did not really change in the beginning very much. When she was arguing with Shay she said“We're not freaks, Tally. We're normal. We may not be gorgeous, but at least we're not hyped-up Barbie dolls”(Westerfeld79).  She only changed when she was threatened. To whom I would recommend book is to people that like books about friendship, futuristic, adventure. This novel I think would not appeal to people that like more modern stories and to the people that like postmodern stories.
