A 'good book' must have qualities that make it good. For me, three qualities that make a 'good book' are entertaining, fiction, and has an interesting story- line. I would classify the novel, Uglies, by Scott Westerfeld as a 'good book' because it consists of the three main qualities I look for in a novel. Firstly, it is entertaining. Scott Westerfeld included a lot of action in the novel: the tours the two main characters would take to get from Uglyville, where they were growing up and living to a new town called the Smoke which took 10 days to get to on hover-boards. Secondly, its fiction. I love fiction books because they broaden your imagination and makes you imagine things that wouldn't normally happen in real life. In Uglies, people are sorted into worlds by their appearance. For example, all of the "Uglies" live in Uglyville and all of the "Pretties" live in Little Pretty Town. Lastly, the novel has an interesting story line. Mostly because it's fiction, I found that the whole idea of the novel was interesting. The details Scott Westerfeld used to describe the situations that occurred gave the novel much suspense, and left you wanting to continue reading. Overall, the qualities Scott Westerfeld included in the novel, Uglies, made it a 'good book.'
