Thisis where we can discuss this book!
Uglies

That book was LONG but after I read it, i loved it. The scince & cites thing was great. I had a blast

yeah!! when i read it, it was amazing, and i read the others aswell!!

Me to!My fav book was well uglies.

i dnt no, i think i liked pretties!! and i loved Zane in pretties!!

I have only red Uglies and i like the concept of the book but im not sure I actually enjoyed the book. The story line was nice but it was a little slow and drawn out at times. I still want to finish the series just to see how it ends

plz do!! its brill!!!

Well i like the cover of pretties.

I have read the entire series of the Uglies and became very engrossed in Tally's story. I followed her and through to the end. It was very enjoyable for me. I would recommend it to everyone.

I have the series on my shelf but haven't read them yet. I've read a few interesting reviews though.

I have a question: Would a 17 yo enjoy this novel? Is it appropriate? I'm thinking of giving them to my sister.

you should give it a try! really, i read it when i was 15, so only 2 years younger than 17, and i enjoyed!!

I've just finished the book and I loved it. The beginning was a bit of a slow burner but once I got past it I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love Tally, she's officially my favourite female lead character of the year (so far lol).

i know! lol, i loved her aswell!! and i also loved Shay in away!

Oh Shay! I loved her as well... I was so sad with her at the end.

i knowww!!

I hope that doesn't happen to Tally. It would be immensely upsetting for me.

well, i really can't comment now can i!! lol

Hahaha! I guess not. I must get the rest of the books. *thinking hard in order to change subject* Their obliviousness to trains was funny. A long, straight, flat roller coaster... That's new lol

yeah i know!! lol

:)

=) Thanks for the info!=)

I have read the whole series beside Extras and its been a while since I read the books but I think I liked pretties the most but I also really like uglies they each had a different feel like pretties had more of a party feel to it :)

yes, pretties was the best!! you really should read Extra!!

Out of the whole series, I think I likes Specials the best. I liked the action in it, it got me really pumped!

yeah!! oh, i keep forgetting what was in them!! i really should reread!! lol

I agree. I loved the descriptions of ALL the things that they weren't familiar with, things we use today. I loved Tally and Daviid. I also loved Scott Westerfeld's electronics and toys and even more his (what I consider) message about how disturbing we could become in our ideas of beauty AND greed.

I know. I wasn't a huge fan of David. He just didn't do it for me. I adored Tally though. The gadgets amazed me and how he'd thought it through. I keep raving about the message, it's so important in today's society.

I didn't really like David either. I didn't think he was anything special and I didn't understand why Tally liked him. The message definitely is important!

I didn't either. I think she could have done so much better... well that or the author could have made David more interesting. Everything else about the book was amazing though.

omg!! why is everyone dissing David, he is one good character!!

In any other book he would be but the rest of the characters are far superior to him. He just needed a bit more development.

Well i liked the way he was!! and i liked that about him!! but everyone has their own opinion! so i love him, and you and others didnt! ohwell

Yeah!

I understand your point but what I got from it whether Westerfeld was thinking it or not was that yeah David was plain, didn't have the contraptions, hot looks, etc. but he was also real and cared a lot for Tally.

Yeah!

I loved how he cared for her [Tally] I just didn't like his character, I find it hard to explain. It's something missing that I can't put my finger on it.

Thank you Candy! my point !! that's why i liked him!

Its ok Charmaine i have had that with other books!

That's a relief, I was beginning to feel truly horrible about poor David.

hehe!! No offense , but its a book, and people can think what they like, as long, as its not about me! :) lol

I know but people can get personal about stuff like that. =)

i knowww!! lol =)

Oh no, that's not how I meant it. I agree that we all have different opinions. I LOVE that about the world. I was just letting you know why I liked him/what I think he stood for. But I understand how you feel and like Tara-jayne, I have DEFINITELY felt that about certain books where everyone falls for the 'hero' and while I'm reading the book I'm thinking 'Uhhh... OK,when do we get to the part where I fall for him' lol!

Hi I'm new... I love this book =P

hello, welcome to goodreads!! and yes the book was amazing!
