i can soooooooooo recommend this set, i totally loved the uglies the best but still found the overall 3 piece worth EVERY cent. If you like the Uglies then make sure u get the set as you won't be able to wait to get stuck into the second and third book. The world painted in these books is quirky with lots of twists and turns that will keep you guessing and unable to put the books down. Simon Westerfeld is a masterful writer and his future world is just brilliant. GREAT for teens and young adults [although i am older and just loved it] very relevant theme. You will get swept up in Tally's adventures from the very start.
