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. 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'm reading Uglies now, and it's pretty good so far.

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 love the first one the best. my friends tried to read it, but i guess they don't have much of an imagination as i have, they thought it was boring! people...

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... |

I just finished Uglies. It was pretty good, and I'm still waiting on getting Pretties.

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. |
