Uglies by: Scott Westerfeld

Tally Youngblood is a very adventurous disobedient 15 year old "ugly". Stuck in a world where the government has finally reached ultimate control. In a severely Communistic society they have created a way for "equality" by surgically altering everyone at the age of 16 to become "pretty". This book is about a beautiful discovery. Westerfeld does an astounding job of painting incredible pictures as Tally ventures into the "real" world she discovers what real beauty is, her first sunset and seeing the city lights from the hillside. It honestly speaks so true about true beauty. Unfortunately her beautiful new understanding comes at a terrible cost. She learns the ugly truth about what her pretty world is all about and who is really behind it. Now she is faced with the terrible decision of either turning her new found beautiful world to disaster or be faced with staying "ugly" forever. "Uglies" honestly was an incredible book its not at all what I was expecting when my sister in law first handed it to me, but I was very happily surprised. :)

The Scorch Trials by: James Dashner

The scorch Trials were very intense. There was absolutely no down time throughout the entire book. I wasn't crazy taken by the first book but I felt that there was a lot of room for excellence in the future. It was an entertaining read for sure.

"Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.

In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety . . . until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.

Burned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated-and with it, order-and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim . . . and meal.

The Gladers are far from finished with running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.

Thomas can only wonder-does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED?"-http://www.jamesdashner.com/
