It sort of sounds similar to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World". Very similar themes...in the future,a seemingly paradisaical existence that isn't really all that great once things have been discovered. I'll have to look into it :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752573639283184435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372548807962669495.post-66914297026230033382009-10-17T01:50:31.106-04:002009-10-17T01:50:31.106-04:00Good review!

I read the first two or three novels in the series a few years ago so I don't remember them that well. But I think the first one was my favorite.

People should check it out. Hint hint!).<br /><br />I actually didn't see an Uglies review on Graham's site in my initial sweep, though I could swear I'd heard about it before you wrote about Uglies...

He mentioned it to me in an email one day when we were suggesting some books to each other. <br /><br />My intentions were actually just to have anyone who was interested take a look at his site.
