Reading Response #1

Book read: Uglies
Author: Scott Westerfeld
Pages read:1-28
Date read: February 8th, 2013

I am reading Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.  While reading i had a couple of questions. The first one is What is the darkness? On the first page of the novel Tally, the main character, is talking about waiting ff\or the darkness.  I have yet to find out what the darkness actually is but i came up with an idea of what it is.  The darkness could be the surgery to turn pretty.  My next question was What is a house minder? When i continued reading i was able to determine that a house minder is the electronic core of a house in Uglytown and Prettytown.  My next question is How did Tally  get the scar on her hand? Later in the book we find out that Tally and her best friend Peris cut their hands and exchanged blood to solidify their friendship.  my last question was Will tally make it out of New Prettytown or will she get caught? this question is from when Tally pulls the fire alarm to escape the party.  The answer to this question is yes she will make it out of New Prettytown without getting caught.  

I only had three predictions from when i was reading.  The first one was that something big was going to happen to Tally in 3 months and 2 days.  This prediction was from the very first page.  I later confirmed this prediction with a comment.  The comment was that that Tally is going to turn pretty soon as she is almost 16.  My second prediction is that when she is trying to find Peris she is going to get caught by one of the Pretties. This prediction turned out to be true .. Although with the confirmation of this prediction another prediction was formed.  My last prediction was that the Pretty in the elevator is going to be Peris.  This prediction also turned out to be true.  

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good book to read.
