Uglies by Scott Westerfeld discussion

Hey, did anyone else feel this way:

At the beginning of uglies, I wanted Tally to turn pretty. But then, later, when she went to the smoke and all, I changed my mind and DIDN'T want her to change pretty at all.

Then, throughout Pretties, I didn't want her to turn Special. And when she did at the end, I was really, really mad.

But then when I read Specials, I actually loved it that she was Special, and didn't want her to be despecialized!!

Isn't that funny how I changed my mind so often? Did other people do the same?

Well, not really. I never wanted her to be pretty, and I kinda *ducks head* read the last few pages after a read the first like 20 so I knew she'd be special. And I wanted her to be despecialized

me 2.

Wow, Allie...you're the opposite of me! (Well, I read the back of Pretties and Specials, so I knew beforehand, but I still felt the same.)

I agree with everything you said, Maddie, except for first thing you said. I knew she was going to become special, so I was like "NO NO NO PLEASE DON'T HAPPEN!" and then I changed my mind.

I like Tally as Special best because she has awesome reflexes and senses and she is smartest.

I felt that way too, Sella. (The first post, that is.) Scott's just really good at influencing his readers that way, I guess.

Yeah, he is.

I read alot, so i can feel what any character is feeling, so when she liked being ugly, i liked her ugly too, when she liked being pretty, I liked her being pretty, etc. So I agree with Morgan and Sella.

Well I didn't like it when she was pretty.

Ok, I agree w/ Morgan. and your first comment.

uhhhh weeell in uglies i didn't want her to turn pretty. and she did. and then i just wanted her to be un-pretty. and then she was special and i was like 'okaiii...' but i still wanted her to be, like, normal again. XD although specials are really cool and all, but still...

uhhhh I just want her world to be NORMAL!!

Sorry, thats impossible!

hehe

Sort of. Yeah. I mean I didn't want her to be a special at all, but Yeah. During Uglies, I wanted her to be pretty and end up with Peris. Then I read on...I wanted her to STAY UGLY and end up with David. During Pretties, I was like "dont make her a special" and I DID NOT want her to end up with Zane. With Specials I was like, just PLEASE let her end up with David! She did. Im happy.
