About this listen
Tally lives in a world where your 16th birthday brings aesthetic perfection: an operation that erases all your flaws, transforming you from an "Ugly" into a "Pretty". She is on the eve of this important event and cannot wait for her life to change. As well as guaranteeing supermodel looks, life as a Pretty seems to revolve around having a good time. But then she meets Shay, who is also 15 - but with a very different outlook on life. Shay isn't sure she wants to be Pretty and plans to escape to a community in the forest - the Rusty Ruins - where Uglies go to escape "turning". Tally won't be persuaded to join her, as this would involve sacrificing everything she's ever wanted for a lot of uncertainty. When she is taken in for questioning on her birthday, however, Tally gets sent to the Ruins anyway - against her will. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she could ever imagine: Find her friend, Shay, and turn her in or never turn Pretty at all. What she discovers in the Ruins reveals that there is nothing "pretty" about the transformations...and the choice Tally makes will change her world forever.

When a plane crash-lands in the Arctic, eight young survivors step from the wreckage expecting to see nothing but ice and snow. Instead they find themselves lost in a strange jungle with no way to get home and little hope of rescue. Food is running out. Water is scarce. And the jungle is full of threats unlike anything the survivors have ever seen before - from razor-beaked shredder birds to carnivorous vines and much, much worse.

Well narrated, great story
I listen to this book because my 13-year-old recommended it. I really enjoyed it, and the narration was excellent.

listen at 1.25x speed!!!
If you listen to it at a faster speed, her voice gets more filled with character and it's not so tedious to listen to. it was easy to follow along with her storytelling and she's very clear in her speaking.
great story, decent speaker. worth the credit!

Loved the book as a whole but Emily's narration makes it a little flatter then it really is. Definitely a book worth reading instead of listening to.

Great book!
I’ve been trying to read this book since I was in 10th grade (I’m 23 now). I’m really glad I bought the audiobook because this was a great book. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Good story
I wish the reader would have had more distinct voices for the characters but it was good enough that I'll be reading the next in the series.

The dystopia
This book was a little creepy, even for me who loves these kind of books. It was well written with good action scenes. It’s engaging and it made me wanting more. In fact, I’m about to start reading Pretties.

This is definitely not ugly!
I loved the story!! The plot was amazing and very well thought out. I enjoyed the characters--especially the main protagonist. Unlike any other main character in YA dystopian, in this series you watch Tally learn from her experiences and grow as a main character should. I listened to this audiobook (both narrations--2008 and 2015). I didn't like neither narrator; however, I preferred the 2008 version more just because the narrator has more personality.

Always a pleasure!
First book with audible, previous multiples with the book. Enjoyed the experience for the most part. I did find certain points to lack as much excitement as necessary, but having read the book previously, I probably am just a little too excited and read it loudly in my mind.
Definitely a nice experience though!
