Not bad but I preferred the original trilogy. The all-pervasive social media theme reminded me of Ben Eltons dystopian novel. Aya was a good feisty lead, but her obsession with fame was a little irritating. Some of the slang grated on me a bit but I don't expect the age group it's aimed at would mind. Scott's Leviathan trilogy is far superior to the Uglies series in my opinion though.
