You read that first? O dear...Anyway, Uglies is way better than Pretties in my opinion
Why did you read pretties first??But don't worry. I hated Pretties too, but I loved Uglies and the rest of the series. Uglies is WAY, WAY better and Pretties is not comparable!! Pretties was just the bad book of the series, the worst one. Shame you read that one first, so you have a wrong first impression!
Yeah but you really should read Uglies, it's really good.
what's wrong with reading the first book first? That's how you know the story. I don't know if i will like this series.
Pretties is NOT the first book- it's the SECOND!
I DIDN'T KNOW! I JUST GRABBED THE BOOK AND STARTED READING IT! THAT WAS A LITTLE RUDE!
Oh my gosh, did I sound rude? I'm so sorry!! I just put it in caps lock to make an emphasis, I did not mean it to be rude!! I'm very sorry if I offended you!!
it's OK because when you write it in caplocks because that makes it sound like you're yelling or you're mad. Sorry if I sounded rude for this comment.
Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. It's okay, you didn't sound rude. :DBut anyway, since you accidentally read Pretties as first, even thought its the second book, you really should read uglies and then the ones that come after pretties. uglies explains things in pretties that might not have made sense...and its a much better book.
hey sella, what i normally do for emphasis is italics not caps. yeah, and Uglies was better than Pretties. and dont worry, i once started a series in the second set of four for that series... was kinda funny though...
Oh your right Snowsong, maybe I should have done that instead...hehe...Which series was that, Snowsong?
umm, by Tamora Pirce... Magic Circle? i started on basically the 5th book, which was the first book in the second series...
actually, i liked the book enought tah, as soon as i realized my mistake, i went back and read in order. the book made sense by itselftoo... kinda likestarting in the middle of the MYTH books. they make more sense if u read in order, but r still good if not read in order!
Yup. Plus, my friend pumped my ears full of them when we were in the same gym class, so I already knew a lot.
you know, i read Uglies and loved it. So i read Pretties, which was way worse, so i never continued to read the other books...maybe i should read the rest if they're better than Pretties.........
Mounica, I was like that too, at first...when I finished Pretties I hated it and so I didn't want to coninue on with the series. I told my friend that, and she told me that Specials and Extras were way better, and they made up for how bad Pretties were. So I read it...and she was right. :DAlso, she told me something that happens in Specials (because I pestered her to tell me something good that happens so I would read it) and I felt so relieved that I read it. :D
Don't worry, everything that went wrong in the ending of Pretties will get better.

yeah pretties is probably the worst in the series, although in my opinion it's still really good. uglies, specials, and extras are better though.
Yes I know thank you very much Brigid. XDYeah I didn't like Pretties. :( My favorite is definitely Specials...
Mod
I have!!!! But the ending to the serries was bad!!! :(

u know, i kinda actually like sad endings...but NOT because i want something sad or bad to happen to the characters, but because...i don't know...some sad endings are so powerfully written that I get moved by it and cry...and I'm like "OMG! WOW! That was...like...*no words to describe it*" lol
I agree. I like sad endings, too...but not the kind where, like, everyone in the world dies or something. That's just...overdone.
I almost got Midnighters! They had the SECOND book but all the FIRST ones were checked out! -_-'
i havent read them yet.
Wait, which books were you talking about, Kiekie23? Uglies or Midnighters? I was under the impression you meant Uglies...
Mod
hmm...i just bought the series recently...i'll start reading it once I finish re-reading Breaking Dawn. lol. since I read it the first time really quickly, now I'm going to take it more slowly and soak up more detail and stuff. XD
oh i absolutly LOVED midnighters. but yea the ending made me cry, it was so unfair. *sniff*
NO NO NO NO!!!! The books were GREAT!!!!!!!!! JUST the ENDING of the 3rd one is bad!!!!!!!!!! You MUST read them!!!!!!!! Don't listen to me!! :D
