Uglies

So, I must be one of the few people who didn't really enjoy Uglies.  Everyone that I talked to before the class started said that the best book we would read would be Uglies.  I was pumped to read it, but was extremely disappointed by it once I actually did start reading it.  I enjoyed the beginning, and reading about all of Tally's adventures, but toward the middle and the end... it got a little slow.  Especially in Smoke.  Yawn.  I think the relationship between Tally and David is very strange, and didn't feel very natural.  I felt like the author just slide it in there to spice up this section, and to create drama between Tally and Shay.  Shay is another reason why the book wasn't as enjoyable.  I really liked her in the beginning because of her independence, but by Smoke, she had completely changed, and was all about the drama.  I guess maybe I'm just over the high school stuff that was in the book.  I'm sure if I were in middle school or high school, this book would be amazing to me.  But now that I'm almost graduated from college.... not so much.  Although, the ending was very spicy and left me hanging!  That is one thing that I really did enjoy about the book.  :)
