“This whole game is just designed to make us hate ourselves.”—Shay
Uglies told Tally Youngblood’s version of life in Uglyville and the budding rebellion against the Specials. Now comes an exciting graphic novel revealing new adventures in the Uglies world—as seen through the eyes of Shay, Tally’s rebellious best friend who’s not afraid to break the rules, no matter the cost.
A few months shy of her sixteenth birthday, Shay eagerly awaits her turn to become a Pretty—a rite-of-passage operation called “the Surge” that transforms ordinary Uglies into paragons of beauty. Yet after befriending the Crims, a group of fellow teens who refuse to take anything in society at face value, Shay starts to question the whole concept. And as the Crims explore beyond the monitored borders of Uglyville into the forbidden, ungoverned wild, Shay must choose between the perks of being Pretty and the rewards of being real.

So i am the bigest fan of scott and all of his books, but the Uglies takes the cake for any book/story i have ever picked up and read. So when i hurd that this comic type book of the uglies was to be relised in march i was over joyed and counted down the days. But as much as i did like it i felt as if it was lacking something still, and in truth i guess i was a little disaponted. But none the less if you are a big fan of scotts you will enjoy this book!

People, read the normal Uglies novels first.
A review:
This was everything i had hoped for. But it does seem like Westerfeld is milking the plotline and characters instead of making new stores, but a great book nontheless.

Shay did not look at all how I pictured, but overall great art and story. NOTE: READ THE ORIGINAL UGLIES PRETTIES SPECIALS SERIES, you'll understand this story a lot more.

I thought the book had a futuristic fear to it with a twist of romance. Scott Westerfeld described it as if he had lived it. It is one of my favorite books, but the number one question i have is what happens next?

Nook Comics only work on Nook proprietary device. If you want to read these items on another tablet, you will have to buy them somewhere else. This was not clear on the order page (which said it is for Nook Color, Nook Tablet and Android tablet). I am sad and a little angry. Want my money back.

I loved this book since I read the whole Uglies quartet. It was fun reading about Shay's point of view. I still like reading novels over looking at pictures though...
