Uglies by Scott Westerfield

The world in this book by Scott Westerfield is quite believable for me.  The idea that eventually everyone undergoes extensive plastic surgery doesn't seem too wild to conceive. I really enjoyed this idea behind the book, but the actual writing of the story really turned me off. This book unlike most of these types of books coming out was not written in first person.  Which was not necessarily a bad decision, but I truly believe it was executed poorly.  I love to get lost in a book when I'm reading it.  This book I would start to get lost in it, then I'd be throw out by the awkward wording in some placing.  The problem was that so much of the book was from Tally's perspective that when I read Tally did this or that, I would just get confused.  I still plan on getting the second book in this series, but overall I was not impressed by this book. Hopefully as I get more accustomed to Scott Westerfield's writing style, I'll be able to dive into his stories completely.
