The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld pg. 1-60

So far the Uglies is an exciting book about a girl named Tally who just can't wait to become a pretty so she can reunite with her friend Peris in Pretty Town. While waiting to turn sixteen and undergo her operation to become a pretty Tally finds a new friend named Shay. Shay sees becoming a pretty as a degrading and pointless process to fit in the supposedly pretty lifestyle. Shay is adventurous and a big risk taker, but she is afraid that once she becomes a pretty she won't have time to do the things she loves and she won't have the drive to go on big adventures.
Tally is starting to get the sense that Shay will never undergo the operation. This worries her because Tally is enjoying the time she is spending with Shay as has not felt that way about anyone since Peris left to become a pretty. Tally has been challenging herself more and has been taking more fun, dangerous risks since she met Shay, and Tally does not want that risky fun to stop. Would Tally become a pretty even if Shay doesn't? If she does, that would mean she would have to experience the pain of losing a good friend twice. That would seriously put a damper on her life, wondering if she made the wrong decision and she would have had a better life staying an ugly.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

And Then There Were None is a suspenseful book that would attract readers who enjoy mystery. I enjoyed this book as a whole because when it got to the plot I felt like I could not put it down. The worst part of the book was the beginning because it filled me with boredom. I was quite freaked out by the ending, especially because I did not expect him/her as the murderer. My curiosity is what kept me reading as I was determined to find out who the uncanny killer was.The big idea of the book was that something will always come back to haunt you. There are ten people, each of them have voluntarily or involuntarily committed a murder or murders. One by one each of them are being murdered and the murderer is one of them. Only the dead are above suspicion.

That was Then, This is Now by S.E. Hinton

As a rating from 1-10 I would give this book a seven. I like how the plot carried out the idea of growing apart throughout the book. I liked the ending the least because it showed that you can lose your true self and never get it back. Why do you have to lose yourself forever when you lost someone you love?

Mark and Bryon have been best friends, practically brothers since childhood. Mark and Bryon grew apart so fast and ended up losing each other due to how they matured. Mark didn't know, or care to know right from wrong and matured by getting into more and more trouble. On the other hand as Bryon grew up he started looking into things deeper and trying to find meaning in things.

Overall I enjoyed reading this book because I was able to see how things can change between two people within a blink of an eye.
