Kerri's Reviews

So cute! I loved the curious george movie that came out a couple of years ago;)

I'm reading Uglies by Scott Westerfield right now. It's about a society that has come to a place where when you turn 16 you must have plastic surgery to perfect yourself. It's the only way people can live together harmoniously, apparently Everyone in pretty town looks gorgeous and has fun every minute of their lives. They live in a "high-tech paradise." Of course, there are people who want to stay "ugly" and right now Shay has run away to The Smoke--just before her 16th birthday and the required operation. Tally must find her or she won't get to have her operation and join her best friend in Pretty Town.

It's a YA novel. I like to read them so I can make recommendations to my students.

The first line is, "The early summer sky was the color of cat vomit." I loved that probably b/c I have a cat. It did take me a couple of chapter to really get into it though. But now I am really enjoying it.

I'm intrigued by your review of the Uglies. I don't usually like Sci-Fi, but I like the premise!
