It's a good read, but don't bother to actually buy the book. Just check it out from the library. Because i personally dont think it's worth it...even though I bought The Uglies and Pretties already like last year. pinch.gif mistake.

I've been reading The Pretties since like November 2006. It got kinda boring, so I stopped reading it...so I don't like it that much.

I finished the trilogy...

I actually found the ending pretty sad, which was surprising...

good reads though. killed a few days for me. I recommend them to anyone looking for something pleasant and easy. = )

I've read all three in this series, and LOVED them.

If you're into the neat and tidy happy ending, these books are not for you.

I read Uglies very recently and now I'm on Pretties.

Even though they had been described as being very good, I wasn't compelled to read them. I'm glad I have now, though. I can't wait to read Specials.

Like amerrss said on the first page, there is no "The" at the beginning of the title... ermm.gif

One long summer day i was watching a Twilight Zone marathon the old fashioned ones and i came across an episode where a girl is coming of age to become pretty, and shes fighting with her mom about why she cant stay the way she is. It was made in 1964...

and i figure Westerfield got his idea from this episode!

^I know exactly the episode you're talking about.

and, strangely enough, I thought the exact same thing when I saw it after reading Uglies.

Specials was a letdown, especially the ending.

I felt the beginning of uglies was a tad slow, but it picked up around halfway through, for me at least.

Either way, it keeps me busy on the eliptical, so yeah. I'm starting pretties now, I'm a few chapters into it, again it is a tad slow for me. I dunno, maybe I'm just tired so I'm not really getting into it.

has anyone else read this series??

i love it. i love how Scott Westerfeld created a slang and other social mannerisms for the characters. i want Bogus to Bubbly. i need to read his other books. So Yesterday is next on my list.

i heard they're making a movie... wonder what's up with that.

http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=148442 / lol i made this topic I suppose I didn't realize how old it was >_>

;)

I love this book, I own them all. The Pretties kind of pissed me off though, it was really slow and it just made me mad >_> But I read all of them :)

idk about the movie, I mean back in 06' I saw they we're supposedly making a movie for this and I don't know what to expect if they do. When I was reading the book I could see everything perfectly in my head of how it should all look but I can see the movie being a real disappointment and I don't think I could take that for a book I really really liked back then.

Just finished Specials today. Going to get Extras tomorrow.

They're very good. I want a hoverboard so bad.
