Uglies (Boxed Set): Uglies, Pretties, Specials (The Uglies) Review
User Submitted Uglies (Boxed Set): Uglies, Pretties, Specials (The Uglies) ReviewsOctober 31, 2008 Good series This series is really good. I enjoyed reading it alot. It has a scifi effect too it, i never really thought i would like it but it's a super series!! September 23, 2008 Not Ugly, but Pretty Special It was quite decent. But I turned to this book after reading other 10 sci-fi classics (in a row), including Ender's Game, Dune, and Brave New World... then as you may understand it obviously did not make the cut for me. But I'm sure it would be quite entertaining for any young sci-fi enthusiast who is looking for a light read. Westfield throws out some recycled science fiction ideas in a story that is half-way compelling. The characters at some points are not even all that likeable, and the transformations from book to book make it difficult to maintain strong personality traits on anyone except the lead (I even doubt her). But I read the whole thing, and did not throw the books out my balcony. September 20, 2008 Loved the "trilogy" I really enjoyed reading this trilogy. If you like futuristic sci-fi/fantasy and don't mind a somewhat gimmicky, lower brow YA writing style, this is great book to look to for adventure, thrills, interesting plot mythology, very engrossing on all counts. My one criticism would be that I hated "Extras", which oddly is the 4th book in the "trilogy". I guess he's not one of those authors that can "do no wrong" but I still enjoyed the first three immensely. September 6, 2008 Amazing Great series. Ignore the "young adult" label and read it. Or better yet, have everyone in the family read it. August 27, 2008 Great series! This series keeps you interested with new language, exciting characters, constant action and a great plot. The themes of taking care of the earth and appreciating individuality are strong but subtle. Tally, the main character, is a typical teenager with concerns that are beyond what most current teens have to deal with, but are familiar. There are times when the books are predictable, but with satisfying results. Overall, an enjoyable read. I would love to see more about Tally and her further adventures. August 17, 2008 Great I've never really been into YA so I was skeptical when my friend recommended it to me. However as a fan of works like 1984, Brave New World, and Farenheit 451, the utopian plotline won me over. In short, I was glad I picked it up. I was immediately enthralled and once I got the 2nd book, I finished it in a day leaving me anxious for the 3rd release. The Uglies trilogy is a great YA series. The utopian/govt control themes make it an intelligent cut above the rest of the YA fluff and the romantic plot in it helps keep its appeal to the average teen. Great work! August 14, 2008 The Best Series I have ever read! Scott Westerfeld's best work by far, The uglies trilogy is amazing. The series is perfect for and sci-fi or even just science enthusiast. The characters are well constructed, the plot is unpredictable, and the absolute best part is the suprisingly scientific concepts and descriptions. These books will blow your mind. I suggest purchasing Extras (Uglies) as well. To my knowledge, it is the final book in the series. July 26, 2008 Uglies for over 13! This set is absolutely wonderful! I'm way over 13, and I absolutely loved this trilogy! It's fun, exciting, and imaginative! Enjoy reading what I'll enjoy time and time again! July 7, 2008 wow. this seires is amazing i read the first book uglies in one day. i just couldn't put it down. the rest of the series was like that and my favortie by far was specails. it had what i think was the most action out of all 3 and was by far the best. June 29, 2008 Really enjoyed these books I'm 26 and I must say, I really enjoyed these books. Other people have reviewed the story line, so I'll just give my two cents. If you're looking for a fun book that at times you won't want to put down, then try these. I read these after reading the Twilight Series and enjoyed these just as well.
