Title: Part of the Crowd
Review: Human instinct is to be part of the crowd-to fit in. If I find myself in the presence of people I want to like me I try not to stand out. I want to be cool, to fit in, to be liked. This book really focuses on that. Everyone wants to fit in. But what if fitting in is the wrong answer? What if it causes people to be hurt? Do we do what is right or do we try to fit in? Uglies really stresses these questions on the main character. We all know what should happen- the main character chooses right over fitting in with out a second thought, but then we have a perfect character. A person who does everything right. Then the book is predictable to a fault. We may sometimes choose right over fitting in but it is always more complicated then that. There are more things to consider in life then "is this right?". In fact that is probably the question most often ignored. This book shows humanity's faults as well as our strengths. It is believable and well-written. I couldn't put it down.
Is the review positive or negative?
