Thanks to you all for posting! And for all your kind words.

Funny how many people feel sad at the end of PRETTIES. I’m always that way with a really good book too. But the funny thing is, when I finish WRITING a book, it’s even WORSE! This whole world I’ve been investing yourself in completely crumbles . . .

But it cheers me up when you guys read it and say you really enjoyed it.

Thanks!

i love your books. plain and simple. i’ve read Uglies and Pretties, I got the first copy in the library at my school because I requested it. The librarian brought it to me in class while I was working on something. I started reading it at lunch that day. And, I did cry when I finished Pretties. It was such a surprising ending. I don’t think I can wait too long to read Specials. It might kill me, but I think I’ll read some of your other books. Well keep up the good writing, you’re books are like my life. My friends called me a nerd because I would rather read your book than do whatever they were doing.

Personally, I think the cover of Pretties is much less appealing than the front cover of Uglies. The girl has a very intense expression on her face, and the fire red hair really makes her look even less appealing. I think that a more naturally pretty face would have been more appealing, something like the cover to Uglies, but with a change in the face. Sorry if I sound negative, but I am just stating my opinion. I do love the Uglies series, I finished Uglies withing a day of buying it, and I’m almost done with Pretties! Keep up the good work.

I’m almost done with Pretties (I finally got around to going to the bookstore yesterday). I love it so far. Uglies was really surprising to me. I’m not sure where I heard about it, but when I did, I thought, “wow, that’s our society in a hundred years, for sure.” And I also didn’t intend to read it at first, since sci-fi is SO not my thing (my favorite book ever is Jennifer Donnely’s A Northern Light)… but I turned out to really love Uglies. I can’t wait until I finish Pretties. Then I can’t wait for Specials!

i just finished Uglies. It was a great book and very interesting. I’m looking forward to getting Pretties only because i’m in love with your books. I wasn’t sure if it was out or not but it is, apparently. Well, you’re books are really awesome- by the way, i’m only in 7th grade. i can hardly wait until the next book in the series comes out- if there is another one.. i just started getting interested in your books only because i’ve just discovered them.

I picked up my copy of The Uglies at our school’s bookfair about the same time one of my students checked our hers from the shelf. We have been completely enthralled by your world! I’ve been dying for my student to finish reading hers so we could talk about it, and in the meanwhile I picked up The Pretties (last copy on the shelf, phew!) and read it over the weekend. FINALLY she finishes and all she has to say is, “I hated the ending! Did you bring Pretties for me to read?” Of course she didn’t really mean she hated it–just a bummer things to happen to a character you are rooting for. Personally I am irritated that I can’t get my next fix until…when? Please, please, please don’t tell me I have to wait too long for The Specials! Guess I’ll just have to check out your other stuff. You have a couple of new fans–and I’m sure we’ll have half the 8th grade hooked soon. Thanks for some great dystopia reading!

I just took my daughter to Barnes and Noble so she could get a book to read on our vacation and we came across “Pretties” in the new release section. What grabbed us was the cover! That’s my nephew on the cover!
Now my dughter has the book to show all her friends and it will go around the school like crazy! We can’t wait to read it now.
