I was very impressed with the way Scott Westerfeld wrapped up this trilogy. While all the books are fun and readable, the strength of this series is that it tackles a lot of complex questions about the benefits vs. the ills of society without giving a pat, preachy answer. Tally has a lot of complex questions about her own society, and an easy answer is never presented. A lot of futuristic Sci-fi series end up holding the American culture as the ideal model for society. Uglies acknowledges that there are both good and bad aspects to current society. The moral of the story, if any, is that the battle to create peaceful societies, while still maintaining freedom, remains an ongoing process.

Great series, very fun and readable, lots of action!
