I thought it was one of those books that you couldn't wait to read because you got to a great part and you didn't want to stop. So yes i thought this book was really good.
Peeps
This book in also written by Scott Westerfeld. The book called Peeps is a vampire novel. The reason why i think the Ugly books and Peeps are similar because they both deal with young kids and being pretty and popular or ugly and not.
