Hello children.
Let's cut to the chase.
For this book project/report, I chose the book Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. I chose this book because a lot of people have recommended it and I've always sort of wanted to read it but I'm always to lazy and my sister kept saying that it was too scary to read. She owns the book and the whole time this book has been sitting right in front of my face but I've never really thought about reading it until now. Also, I am a fan of Scott Westerfeld's work (if you have a good memory you might remember that the book I did for our other book talk at the beginning of this year was Leviathan, another Scott Westerfeld novel) so I just decided to have at it.
Needless to say, my sister is a wussie.
Honestly, I've seen a scarier plot in picture books.
I'm not saying that the book is bad. In fact, Uglies is really good. The premise is very creative and it is very well written--I can't stop turning the pages (which is actually a bad thing because I stayed up to midnight last night reading it) and it's just really good. The only thing I sort of don't like is Tally (the main character)'s personality, but it's getting better. But is this book scary? Noooooooooo. I should have seen this coming. Fact: my sister is afraid of butterflies.
Well that's all I have to blog about today. See ya el-eight-are (l8r)!
