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.
