I just got the first Midnighters. I noted it when it first came out but then lost track.ALynnPowers wrote:I love Scott Westerfield! I always forget about him, though, because he's not a huge, household name that everyone and their grandma knows. But the Uglies series was super good. And the Midnighters series was pretty good too. I planned on reading all of his other books, but I just never got around to it. Yet.
Now I can't wait to try it.
The Uglies was supposedly being adapted...not sure where that went, I've been waiting on the Wicked Lovely adaptation for years...still waiting. Ugh!
Anyway last I heard it was being made. I'll have to check into it again.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Wicked Lovely! That's another series that sounded so good! I discovered that on this site as well. OMG, I am never going to run out of things I want to read now!

I borrowed all three books from the UGLY series by Scott Westerfeld from a friend. She loved it, i didn't. Honestly, the idea behind the story had so much potential, but the plot was poorly constructed and delivered just as badly. It took me a good month to force myself through the story and by then I just couldn't bother reading the second or the third book.Amber098724 wrote:I heard about the Uglies series being good. So I just ordered it the other day. I hope I'm not disappointed. Anyone else here read that series?

I like the uglies series but I read it years ago! Don't know if I would like it anymore to be completely honest. Maybe i should reread seeing as I have them all.

I think they go by really fast!jordyn21 wrote:I remember reading Uglies in like 8th grade and I liked it but it sort of confused me at the time. I am 18 now so I am thinking about getting back into that series because I have heard such good things about it! I want to give it another shot but there are like 4 books in the series and they are all huge books! Worth it?

To wrap it up, I do like Scott Westerfeld, although one book is not exactly enough to capitalize my opinion on him.

He always support NaNoWriMo, which I am also a big supporter of, so I appreciate how he is always involved with that every year. It's nice to know that he is such a nice guy aside from being a pretty good writer.
