Feeling sorry for Celia

Feeling Sorry for Celia written by Jaclyn Moriarty

It took me quite long time to read and understand this book beacuse it's a bit confusing and it made me hard to understand but it's really interesting story. This book is about Elizabeth who is Celia's friend and she sends and gets lots of letters from people and these letters were put together in the book. At first, there are a few people who send letter to Elizabeth but at the end, there are so many people who send lette to Elizabeth and I think this made me confused. Also, this book has lots of mysteries and at the end, it becomes huge mystery and it made me think more about the story. I like the letters between Elizabeth and her mothers because the contents they talk about are interesting and sometimes they are similar to what I talk about with my mum. If you like reading letters and like confusing stoy, I think you should read this book. :)

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld


In Uglyville, turning sixteen means transforming from a horrific ugly to a beautiful pretty and moving into New Pretty Town, a paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. Everyone has to go through with this operation and Tally Youngblood surely isn't an exception.

Just a few weeks before her sixteenth birthday, Tally meets a strange new friend, Shay. Shay's different, however, she'd rather risk life staying ugly than becoming just like the others. She tells Tally about a strange new city that Tally's never even heard of: Smoke City.

When Shay runs away, Tally is given an option that could possibly change her life forever: turn her new-found friend in or stay ugly forever.

On her journey to destiny, Tally finds out that not only does the operation change your appearance, it also messes with your personality, transforming who you are inside. In this spellbinding novel, Tally has to learn the hard way that beauty comes with a price and maybe, just perhaps, the pretty world can get pretty darn ugly.

Personally, I thought "Uglies" was an amazing novel!

It was basically every genre you could possibly imagine packed in one book: there was romance, adventure, and definitely mystery.

The character build-up was really clear and the author particularly focused on how Tally changes through the novel, and it was incredibly interesting to read.

If you're looking for just a fun read, I highly recommend reading the enthralling "Uglies" series! (:
