56. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie 255 pages 57. Escape by Carolyn Jessop 413 pages 58. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld 425 pages 58/75 (77.3%) 20,823 pages

... how people perceive her. Believe me, no teen is worried what other teens will think as they are reading Twilight, Uglies, Eragon or what have you. Here's some of her quotes to back me up: "Oh, that won't be for me," I say to myself, "I am not a young adult." What I don't ...

... was pretty eh - the ending was a total cop-out and the character wasn't very likable. Read The Adoration of Jenna Fox or Uglies instead. Started The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins today, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I keep hearing good things about the book, so here's hoping ...

48. Pretties by Scott Westerfeld Sequel to Uglies (see book 38 above) and unfortunately, not quite as good in my opinion. Without going into too much detail, I was completely thrown off by the whole Andrew Simpson Smith, lost in the woods section. I'm assuming that's going to come up again ...

... I think. Relevent. Reading Skinned now, by Robin Wasserman. Enjoying it, though it seems like a mash-up of Uglies and The Adoration of Jenna Fox, which are both hard books to go up against.

Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld

... way! I don't even think it's just about character vs. plot, it's about good plot vs. action-movie plot. I really enjoyed Uglies because of the concept, but I thought the plot was sort of weak. In particular--SPOILERS for those who haven't read it--I felt like Tally destroyed the heart ...

41. Uglies - Scott Westerfeld Finally caved and read this one. I liked the ending. There's something about Westerfeld's writing style that just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the plot vs. character debacle. I'm a character person, he's a plot man. Oh well. I'm gonna start Pretties now, ...

38. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld Probably the last thing I need right now is to start another series...but I couldn't help myself! This is about a futuristic world where everyone gets an operation to become "pretty" when they turn sixteen. Unfortunately, there's more to the operation than meets ...

I'm going to soon finish Uglies which I'm loving and then it's on to one of my other library books - either The Garden Of Last Days, A Thousand Splendid Suns or The Time Traveler's Wife. I just hope I can keep renewing these until I finish them, and that no one has a hold on any of them!

70. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld (425) 71. Pretties by Scott Westerfeld (370) 72. Specials by Scott Westerfeld (372) Got the box set for my birthday. I adore these books. 73. Extras by Scott Westerfeld (417) 74. The Last Slice of Rainbow by Joan Aiken (144)

Wake by Lisa McMann Uglies was already mentioned but I also liked Pretties and Specials by Scott Westerfeld. I have Extras and So Yesterday in my TBR pile also.

I just started Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.

That first line sticks in one's mind. I'm pretty sure it's from Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

At first I thought it was a Vonnegut but it turns out...(I believe) to be Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. Yes?

... die of something and the kids are left to themselves in a theme park. Now that sounds spooky! I also read and reviewed Uglies and its sequels and loved them! http://presentinglenore.blogspot.com/2008/04/book-review-uglies-series-by-scott.html

... Headmaster by Gillian Cross Firmin : adventures of a metropolitan lowlife by Sam Savage Piggies by Nick Gifford Uglies by Scott Westerfeld The Twits by Roald Dahl

24. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld This story reminded me of a cross between A Brave New World and The Giver. It was hard for me to stay interested in the story as sometimes the details were a little too detailed. It’s considered a YA book, but it seemed a little younger.

I was able to search your catalog for search terms and I found the book each time (and it didn't bring up Uglies or Specials). I'm on FF2 and XP. Have you tried refreshing, relogging in, all that good stuff?

... "Babylon", "Babylon,", and "Persepolis", and Titles/Authors for "Burkert", and every time it brought up exactly two books: Uglies and Specials. So I found the book by sorting on Date Started and tried to enter a finished date. It didn't stick, despite repeated attempts. The catalogue is ...

... about popular sf or fantasy book that wasn't YA -- and i don't just mean Harry Potter but more recently, maybe, the Uglies. Mostly, though, I just like YA.

... pleaded me not to get rid of this book, otherwise to give it to her. I said don't worry mum, I'm keeping it. ;-) 13. Uglies by Scott Westerfield A found book, with a simple writing style, neat premise and an interersting alternative universe. 14. Pretties by Scott Westerfield ...

... everyone- While I love dystopian novels, I especially love YA dystopias. Any recommendations? I'll add The Giver, Uglies, Life as We Knew it and Feed to the list of great YA dystopian novels. Others?

... 19 year old has too many books in her TBR pile right now, but wants to borrow The book, The Other Boleyn Girl, and Uglies. The 12 year old has friends who love the book and talk about it often, making her very curious about it. I might buy her a copy for her birthday. :) #393 ...

... loved the Thessaly story, but wasn't impressed with the others. Scott Westerfeld - Extras A continuation to the Uglies trilogy. I really liked this book, and found Aya much more likable than Tally.

I just finished readin Uglies and I loved it! I am now moving on to Pretties I can wait to see what happens

... I haven't seen him for days! #682 That is perhaps the most interesting collection of books ever bought at one time. The Uglies series and Proust?! That's awesome! Edited to see if I could get author touchstones to work, I couldn't.

... : It's very sad. #678 - #680: LOL! :) #682 Ms_Bella: *gasps* I want your books! Er, two of them! I loved Uglies - it was a great book and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. :)

I have just started Uglies by Scoot Westerfeld which I just bought with a few others (on the derailments thread) and so far i really am enjoying it...

... so bad that I got sent home. I think I'll be okay tomorrow, I'll just need to keep myself doped up on ibuprofen! How was Uglies? That book sounded interesting to me.

#263 bib: I hope it wasn't for anything like being sick? Congrats on your reading! :) I just finished reading Uglies. I'm still deciding what I'll read next.

I just finished Scott Westerfeld's Uglies. After hearing in mentioned around the HE and at work, I had to try it. My biggest disappointment is that I didn't buy any of the other books in the series. Right away I could tell this book takes place somewhere different than our world ...

... a textbook right now. :) #252 bib: Just in time for the group movie watch! :) I'm reading Scott Westerfeld's Uglies. (I completely agree about the author touchstones!)

Really adored Uglies, but liked the next books in the series less and less. It is a very fast read, so you'll probably breeze right through it.

I just started reading Uglies. I'm a mere one chapter into it.

24. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

(17) Uglies - Scott Westerfeld (F) I enjoyed this rather dystopian novel & raced through to see how it would end, and despite the fact that I have already put the subsequent novels on hold at the library, I still think that I would say that this book was just ok. Really interesting ...

42. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld This is about a future world where there is a surgery at 16 to make everyone pretty. From the age of 12 you are an "ugly". This book centers around Tally whose best friend Peris is now a new pretty and she is still ugly. She meets Shay who isn't sure she wants ...

LOL I've always wondered what book you were talking about called Uglies.

#30 -- to add to what Smiley has (very correctly) said, Uglies is a science fiction series. In it, humanity has foud a way, by surgery, to make all people extremely beautiful. Children, while they are still growing and developing, live apart from the grown-up "Pretties" until they are 16, at ...

... we decided to limit the readings to just books by women authors. however, if any book would qualify with a male author, Uglies would be one. Although it has its weakness, it was a fun read with some thoughtful bits about cookie-cutter beauty and what makes us individuals. It's a really quick ...

>31 You should read Uglies; however, for this group, you should probably pick one by a woman. ;) (I keep forgetting too whenever I think of ideas)

Assuming I can get it in time off the library's enormous hold list, I might try to do this one with Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. This is a hard theme for me to think up a book for and I do want to read this book.

... by Scott Westerfield Apparently this is my time of sequels because as my last read, this is the second book of the uglies series. Tally, the main character, felt like a completly different person then the one in previous Uglies but it gives merit to the change she has gonne ...

I have been pleased to discover YA action-packed novels with female protagonists. Westerfeld's Uglies trilogy; Gwyneth Jones' Siberia, and for the slightly younger age, Jeanne Duprau's City of Ember. All also include male characters and the stories are compelling and thoughtful.

... and not liking it, I usually just give the book away. I say that, but here I am struggling through another one! I read Uglies and really liked it. Read the sequel, Pretties and liked it okay. Now I'm reading the third in the series Specials and just annoyed by it. I'm half way through ...

I finished Uglies earlier and am now reading Pretties. #131- We read I Capture the Castle for my book club a while back and most people seemed to really enjoy it.

Finished Spud and hated it so much I gave it away. A friend loaned me Uglies, which I finished and really enjoyed. Next up I might pick up the obvious Pretties or Lord of the Flies, which I somehow never managed to read all through high school or my English degree.

I borrowed Uglies from a friend and really loved it so I picked up Pretties, the next book in the series. Will probably buy my own copy of Uglies before the week is over.

I don't see how Feed and Uglies are alike at all, other than being set in the future.

... before I finish Spud, and I can't wait! I am really not liking the book much. After that I'll pick up a borrowed copy of Uglies. I have The Corrections and am interested in it, but haven't made the jump yet. It's a big mama jamma!

ding!ding!ding!compskibook it's actually Uglies by Scott Westerfeld ,but i think Ugglies is close enough.......

cccchuckles, I liked his Uglies trilogy. I did a little exploring last year of what passes for science fiction in YA novels and included those three (I hear there is a 4th now) in my explorations. I also recommend YA novels by Ann Halam (real name :Gwyneth Jones). eta: I see we share some Octa ...
