What is Reddit's opinion of Uglies (Uglies Trilogy, Book 1)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I mean, you could argue that A Brave New World kind of eluded to it in a way. You could also see the beginnings of social with creations like Max Headroom. You could also kind of see social as part of tons of scifi in the sense that people know where you are and what you are doing. My phone automatically checks me in to certain places and I have tracking on for my family so they know where I am.

For more contemporary scifi, The Uglies is a young adult series from like 2006ish??? that really nailed social before social was a huge boom.

While it's a nice gesture, your selection of books might have the opposite effect and turn her off sci-fi forever. If someone is "curios" about getting into something, you probably shouldn't start with the classics. It should probably start with lighter fare and more pop modern sci-fi. Especially seeing (from your other comments) that she is 12 years old and likes Harry Potter and Erragon. Some might argue that Hitchhikers might fit this bill - but a lot of the humor is spoof. Ever watch a "spoof" movie and have no idea what the movie scene reference is? Yeah it's kinda like that.

Perhaps something like Uglies by Scott Westerfield which from it's synopsis sounds like a far left dystopia (twist on eugenics) series written for a teenage audience. It seems to have a ton of great reviews and is in the top 100 bestselling young adult fiction.
