pickWow! Nowadays, I normally finish book one of a series and then move on to a different book completely. But I couldn't put this book down! I finished it in less than 48 hours. I bought book 2 earlier today, knowing I'd HAVE to read it as soon as I finished this one. You have to read it!
pickThis book is SO good! Adventurous, unexpecting twists, and believable characters. The plot is set in a futuristic time-period, where everyone receives a "pretty" surgery on their sixteenth birthday. Before this time, they're called Uglies, and they live in a dorm with other Uglies until they "graduate". Before the main character, Tally, turns Pretty, she finds out about a mysterious town called The Smoke. Once this happens, the adventure begins.
pickSpoiler Alert**
I REALLY liked this book, just as much as the others. However, I loved David from book one, and was upset about his absence in book two. But then I fell for Zane in book two, really liked him, and yet he was stripped from book three. They both had appearances and were talked about a lot, but neither had as much stake, and now at the end of book three, David is back and Zane is dead. I hate that. A solid four stars for Specials!
pickI bought this book to give me a chance to see another part of the world, in this case, the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). I‘m a huge lover of hiking, and don‘t go nearly often enough, but even if you don‘t like hiking, you‘ll enjoy this memoir. I laughed, I cried, and I held my breath during the chapter when I feared the worse. Cheryl Strayed doesn‘t hold back. It‘s the naked truth, and it‘s inspiring.
pickI've seen the movie twice and never read the book. I'm so glad I added it to my list of reads, it was so good! If you're looking for a pleasant, interesting book, definitely choose this one! I loved the imagery and explanations of the "after life". And I can't wait to visit his website to view the "extras".
pickWonderful! If you're a creative person, I highly recommend this book! #inspiring #encouraging #nonfiction
pickI don't even know what to say.- OMG! I never expected the ending, and I LOVED how the story was written. Normally, if a book is written from different perspectives or timelines, it's jarring. But not this one. The book was great and totally unexpected. 5 stars! Still in shock. #yabook
