I have to start by saying that I am a 32 year old. This is NOT the kind of book I normally read but I saw a review for it on PBS that raved about it so I thought I would give it a shot. My goodness, I am glad I did! The plot is very clever - teenagers at the age of 16 are made 'pretties', until then they are 'uglies'. Pretties all look the same and act the same. Some seek a different life. I will not give anything away (hate that!) but the book is rife with interesting commentaries on what is 'pretty', ethical dilemnas, and is very well written. It leaves you wanting more. This book would make an excellent book group selection. I highly recommend it!
