I was wondering if anyone has read or is reading the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld? I am reading them, I got them all from my library except Pretties, which they will hold when it gets turned in. The books are amazingly awesome. it certainly would not be to everyone's liking.
At first I kinda hated the idea, but I kept reading, because I don'tlike to not finish a book, and I got sucked in, they are so awesome.
It was originaly a trilogy.
Uglies
Pretties
Speicals
But then Westerfeld decided to release Extras and there is the posibility of a fifth book. :3
Anyways, anyone reading them?

It's a post-apocoliptic world. Everything there is perfect. When you are born you are considered a littlie and live with your parents until you turn ten. After ten you move into a dormoroty and you are called an 'Ugly/Uglie' and then you live in uglyville until you turn Sixteen and you get this wodnerful operation that turns you into a Super Model GORGOUES person and you move to New Prettie/Pretty Town. Everyone gets the operation.
But some people don't want it and blah, blah, blah.
I don't wanna say too much, cause I'll give it away, so yeah. but it's an AWESOME book. :3

I've read Uglies and Pretties, but haven't gotten my hands on Specials and Extras yet. I like it because I have a weird obsession with dystopia's, I think they're interesting. And these books are really suspenseful and take wacky turns. Although I am starting to see a pattern...but that's beside the point. If you like odd, alternate-earth type books, they're awesome.

I've read the Uglies "trilogy." I would say my favorite one of them is Specials. Which is your favorite book from the Uglies series?

I'm bringing this thread back because I absolutely love the series.
It's a series by now, with Extras joining the books and the guide.

Love love love the series. my absolute favorite books. Scott-la is my favorite author, for those books and Midnighters, and a few other books he's written were good.

And correction - Pretties make our supermodels look hideous. Says so in Uglies, when Tally saw the magazine from our time and saw one of our supermodels.

I own all four books and the guide, I was once a frequent poster on the Westerblog (www.scottwesterfeld.com/blog) but I've stopped because... Idk. But my name is in the dedication of the guide, along with everyone else who posts on the blog, and I own the guide. I'm trying to get hardcover for Uglies and pretties, and I have the hardcover Specials and Extras. I'm deffidently buying the new Essay-style book coming out - it's got questions like "Zane or David?" or "SHay: Evil Antagonist or True Best Friend?" answered by other authors, possibly like Libba Bray or his wife, Justine Larbalestier, or Maureen Johnson. It'll be epic.

Lawls, I made a really long rant.
