The Extras cover has gone in a new direction, which I think is pretty cool. I never was quite down with the first version.
Let me know what you think!
Update: This comment thread is full of massive Specials spoilers. Be warned!
Update 2: Extras is available now for pre order!
Update 3: This cover is an April Fool’s joke, people. The art is from a quick sketch by Katerate, more of whose fan art can be found here.
Shay's Story, a graphic novel version of Uglies, is OUT NOW!
The Uglies series has been adapted into graphic novel form, with the events of the trilogy told from Shay's point of view in three volumes.
The first one comes out March 6, 2012!

I love it! *squeee* Its really cool!
April 1st, 2007 15:13
uh………….
Its really really really different from any other cover art from the books you have published……
I dont really like it……
It makes me think of a horror book a would never read…
April 1st, 2007 15:31
Nice. No series is complete with out a zombie!
Lol, nice April 1st joke. Did you draw it yourself?
April 1st, 2007 15:34
Nice April fools joke. Really, its good. Had me goin there for a second.
I would die if this really wasnt a joke though.
Really.
April 1st, 2007 15:37
ugh Quite scary..if I didn’t know what it was about I probably wouldn’t read it just because it was scary looking
HEY WAIT THATS ZANE EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHH HE COMES BACK!!!!!! THAT EVEN LOOKS LIKE HIM!!!!!!!
ITS ZANE!
ITS ZANE!!!!!!!!!
April 1st, 2007 15:38
Tell me if I’m wrong but he has black hair and it says Zane on the tombstone!!! but yeah scary if you ask me
April 1st, 2007 15:41
I dunno… He looks a little too buff for a dead pretty..
April 1st, 2007 16:29
omg its april fools!!! haha FUNNY I WAS ABOUT TO DIE
April 1st, 2007 16:30
way, way, way, way, WAY better than any other cover of any book you’ve ever done. For real. I know this is a joke, but I’m totally serious. I was never into the UGLIES artwork, or the MIDNIGHTERS overdone photoshoppery. I love this cover.
April 1st, 2007 16:57
I was really freaked out there for a second until I read some of the other comments. I didn’t think of that since it isn’t April yet in my neck of the woods.
April 1st, 2007 17:22
Yeah its not April yet here either..well actually it is b/c its 1:20AM here but i don’t think of it that way. Its still night as far as i’m concerned
April 1st, 2007 17:39
Ha ha, this scared me before I realized that it was April Fools. Ha ha.
April 1st, 2007 18:37
Hmmmm…not really what i expect. Different, but not really “Extra”-like. Sorry
April 1st, 2007 18:58
What does that say up in the top right corner between the A and the S? I can’t quite make out all the letters…
April 1st, 2007 20:00
Ha ha ha, very funny. That’s not what we meant by bring Zane back lol.
April 1st, 2007 21:22
Good April Fools! I have no idea who this ‘zane’ is coz i have only read Uglies, but, perhaps, dead uglies come back as Zombies!
April 1st, 2007 23:43
*giggles*
You had me going. Thanks for reminding me that it is such day, I am going to get my parents SO good.
April 2nd, 2007 00:34
hmmm i played the classic ‘empty egg’ trick, but yours is better, Scott!
April 2nd, 2007 01:36
it’s ok. i liked the other one better, i think. i think that it throws the rest of the covers off balance. a lot of people that i know look for the face on hte cover of this series.
April 2nd, 2007 01:55
OK, Zane’s dead. Don’t let me think, even for .3 seconds, that he’s still alive =(
April 2nd, 2007 02:01
Hahahahaha, Happy April Fools!
April 2nd, 2007 03:39
Ha ha ha! I laughed really hard when I saw this. Zane coming back. Ha ha ha. Who drew it, by the way?
April 2nd, 2007 03:58
Oh wow. I love that cover. Yeah, it kinda throws the ‘face’ thing off balance, but I love it. You so had me going there. (It’s like seven in the morning where I am, so cut me some slack with the fact I had to read the comments before I realized it was an April Fools joke.)
I swear, even if I hadn’t read Uglies, I’d still buy that.
It actually gave me hope when I saw that. I mean, even if Zane would be a zombie, that’s UNdead,right?
I never wanted him to die…:(
April 2nd, 2007 04:09
Aaaaaaahahahahhahahaha. You’re such a jokester Scott Westerfeld
.
April 2nd, 2007 04:09
Please-be-a-joke.this-cover-is-in-no-comparison-to-the-other-books.i-totally-will-never-look-at-the-cover-when-i-buy-it.seriously.
April 2nd, 2007 04:21
hehehe, i saw this when the artist put all her stuff on westerboard
and i think you are brilliant at your april fools joke as some people believed it
bwahaha
April 2nd, 2007 04:22
fuuuunny Scott
April 2nd, 2007 04:27
I love the joke, Scott. But somehow I don’t think you would use a crayon colored cover for your next book, no matter how much you love zombies. Although making some of us think that zane was coming back is a bit dirty…unless he is coming back, in which case I will love you forever! But I kinda doubt he will.
April 2nd, 2007 04:34
cool design, i have to say, with the “zane back-from-the-dead-zombie” look…..but i’m kinda glad it’s an april fool’s joke…..it would kinda kill the whole face theme that was going on with the uglies trilogy. wait it isn’t part of the uglies trilogy…..oh well!
April 2nd, 2007 04:37
You almost had me, until I realized it was April Fool’s day xD
Seriously, though…I like it… =O
April 2nd, 2007 04:37
Happy April Fools Day Scott, very nice. I was excited to see what you would do, alot of my favorite blogs and forums got creative and im really impressed with yours! That is soo Goosebumps cover material its not even funny, i remember seeing those books in my middle school library, did you draw that? well anyways, have a good one, and very nice job, it made me laugh really hard ^.^
April 2nd, 2007 04:39
He’s dead?! I havn’t got to read Specials yet! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! SPOILER! Besides the spoiling, HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!?! Killing off Zane!
Anyways, happy April Fools’ Day!
April 2nd, 2007 04:41
nice april fools day joke there scott. unless of course thats what you want us to think and that actually is the cover!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh. i know i was like wiat a min. your kidding right? you better be kidding cause thats a… erm.. very scary looking cover there.
April 2nd, 2007 04:49
Ok this SOOOO better be an April Fool’s joke! Which i’m almost positive it is because you are NOT crazy enough to think we would like that. But i really appreciate it though i can always use a good spoiler in the end of specials i just knew it Zane couldn’t die like that he had to live he just had to! THANK YOU SOOOOO much for bringing him back! To bad for David but…GO ZANE GO ZANE GO GO GO ZANE! Nice artwork though i guess!lol
April 2nd, 2007 04:50
nice. who drew that?
April 2nd, 2007 04:52
OKay okay i just read up some of the comments and someone just said making Zane look like he was coming back was dirty. That never crossed my mind i mean i knew it was a joke but i thought there was a spoiler in there! OH that is tramatic i think i’m gonna cry now! It feels like Zane has died again or is he alive an in the next book and you put him in there so we’d think it was all a joke but part of it isn’t. AWWWWWWWW! I’m sooooo confused!
April 2nd, 2007 04:59
It was drawn by Katerate! For more of her fan art:
http://westerboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=247
April 2nd, 2007 05:09
When I first saw this I was excited and happy that Zane might be back, but then I realized It was April Fools day! This better not be some joke!
April 2nd, 2007 05:09
Ummmmmmmmmmm, it reminds me of an amature horror book by R.L. Stine who I happen to hate. I like much sleeker covers, like the Uglies Trilogy. Lots of girls will want to read the companion to Uglies and they won’t want to read something with a cover like that!
April 2nd, 2007 05:12
By the way, does anybody know what those words in the backround say???? It’s right behind the S and A in extras. it’s in red.
April 2nd, 2007 05:13
Wait a min., this was a joke! Darn you! You had me really freaked out! I am a person who reads books by their cover! I nearly had a heart attack.
April 2nd, 2007 05:14
Oh yeah I see those words. Weird.
April 2nd, 2007 05:50
Wow, for a second I thought you were serious! Nice joke. It would be nice if Zane came back…but not as a zombie.
April 2nd, 2007 06:05
i wish this was not an april fool’s joke, i really miss zane (he really is real)
April 2nd, 2007 06:07
I didn’t really like Zane, he was okay. Man, I really hate April Fool’s Day.
April 2nd, 2007 06:47
i think you people are weird except scott!!!!:P
April 2nd, 2007 06:48
why are you people obsessed with that zane charector???????????if thats what he looks like in the books than why read them?????????
April 2nd, 2007 06:52
i like midnighters they rock i have sock pupets of dess,rex,melisa and sven!!!!!
April 2nd, 2007 06:55
Scary but cool.
And it’s Zane!
but,
Im still deciding whether I think this is an April Fool’s Day prank or not…
April 2nd, 2007 06:56
it’s a prank you fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so deal!!!!
April 2nd, 2007 06:57
i liek neopets!!!!
April 2nd, 2007 06:57
just being hopeful..
gosh!
April 2nd, 2007 06:58
why would you want that ugly thing to be the cover(no ofence person who drew it)????
April 2nd, 2007 07:01
why isn’t any one here i feel so alone.
April 2nd, 2007 07:04
Only because of Zane.
I didn’t like it so much when he died.
:[
It is an ugly cover. I’m not fond of zombies in general.
April 2nd, 2007 07:05
scott whats your favrite book that you have read(not including yours and your wifes)and what is your favrite book that you wrote?????????
April 2nd, 2007 07:06
my sister doesn’t like you veronica she’s mad that you don’t like Zombies
April 2nd, 2007 07:08
well to bad stop being such a baby veronica,it’s just a book!!!!he’s dead so deal!!!!!
April 2nd, 2007 07:57
Poor potato is all alone
April 2nd, 2007 08:25
Yes, poor little Potato. But I must agree — I never really liked Zane all that much and didn’t mind a bit when he died. I just thought “Ooh, now what?” And went on reading. But I feel for you, all who loved Zane.
April 2nd, 2007 08:46
I loved Zane! He was fawesome! And it was so sad when he died, I really felt for poor Tally. She had everything taken away from her, and then her boyfriend died! That was a bit cruel of Scott. It did act as a good catalyst though, and made the ending of the book really good…so I guess I just have to look at the bright side.
April 2nd, 2007 10:18
I like the tagline. If it was real, it would make up for the Specials one.
Extras needs a good tagline.
April 2nd, 2007 10:21
And Potato… dude…tell your sister just because someone doesn’t like zombies, that’s no reason to dislike them.
April 2nd, 2007 10:23
I think Zane was cheated out of knowing the “real” Tally, the Tally whose heart will forver belong to David, so I feel sorry for him. Oh, and I screamed when I saw the cover. I had no idea it was a joke until I read the comments.. I was going to go all day thinking how the heck Scott got Zane’s grave to end up in Tokyo or where ever he’s put the setting of this thing.
April 2nd, 2007 10:27
Ahh.. Japan
April 2nd, 2007 10:47
Ok….im really glad that is NOT the cover!!!!!! Or else i wouldn’t read it. i mean i didn’t even see the Zane thing because i looked at it and jus wanted to leave this. whew!
But April Fool’s Day evryone!!!!!!!!!!!
And Potato… i agree with soem of the other people. Zane is AWESOME!!! and if he came back that’d be kool too. But still i wanted Tally to be Davids girl.
April 2nd, 2007 10:58
I would legitimately DIE of laughter.
I hope you realize I’m saving that picture and will totally treasure it for the rest of my waking days.
Hilarious, Scott. Love it.
April 2nd, 2007 11:18
i honestly don’t like it and his hand that is sticking out looks pretty weirdly drawn
yeas i really don’t like it
April 2nd, 2007 11:29
at first i thought it wa kinda scary. then after like…5 seconds i thoght it was really awesome!! i saw Zane on the tombstone and felt really bad because i didnt want him to be back in the story (dont get me wrong though, i like zane…just not as much as david). i want tally to like david!! its kinda scary though.its different …sometimes you just need a little change. if you are trying to fool us, im going to be really mad.
April 2nd, 2007 11:33
i never really liked zane. he and tally didn’t feel right, because tally was going out with david when she was ugly. i always felt like she was cheating on him. i wish he wasn’t dead though.
April 2nd, 2007 11:52
Well… It’s very… uh… stand out-ish… its a little gorry though… Plus, I refuse to admit the Zane was Tally’s “True Love” Since I’m way obsessed with David.
April 2nd, 2007 12:26
It’s a joke. Duh. My gosh.
April 2nd, 2007 12:31
you people are weird!!!
April 2nd, 2007 12:32
i don’t understand why you people like Zane so much it’s kinda scary if you ask me all obsessed with hm and all!
April 2nd, 2007 13:01
IndigoEyes she doesn’t dislike them for not liking zombies she just doesn’t under stand why they don’t like them.
April 2nd, 2007 13:06
potato is sad no one is here to talk to her……
April 2nd, 2007 13:08
potato leaves now no one likes potato…..
April 2nd, 2007 13:16
at least boys wouldn’t be ashamed of this cover
and zane would be back
and can i pre order extras?
April 2nd, 2007 13:18
whhy is every one obsessed with Zane????
April 2nd, 2007 13:49
Beg pardon but… Holy crap, ZANE?! *stares; is slightly freaked out* I cried for him (and for Tally) reading “Specials” and didn’t want him to be dead. But if he’s coming back as a zombie… I’m thinking maybe that’s not a good thing and I really can’t wait to read “Extras” now.
So…does this mean they do bury their dead in this future world? I’ve been puzzling over that for days and I just can’t figure it out.
I just finished “Specials” on Thursday and I squealed like the over-grown fangirl I am when I stumbled upon your blog and read that there’s going to be another book in the same world setting.
Cover-wise, this is interesting. I like what it says about the story itself, but it doesn’t strike me as hard as the covers to the other three books did. I found “Uglies” in a book store at Christmas because the cover and the book’s size was so unique (and I’m going to eventually bring that trilogy home when I acquire that “money” stuff I’ve heard about; in the meantime, the library (the world’s greatest place) has served me well).
While I’m here and rambling, I must compliment you on a job well done. I haven’t had a good story to read in a very long time and I literally could not stop reading the “Uglies” trilogy. It was absolutely wonderful to be able to laugh, cry, mentally scream at characters for doing something stupid, etc, again. I’m tempted to re-read the trilogy this week. You made me want to write and you’ve made me contemplate doing an art experiment (because I’m terribly fond of Tally and, well, everyone, even Dr. Cable (because she scared the crap out of me and that’s awesome)). So, yes. Bravo and encore!
Why do I get this feeling that there will be a shortage of Scott Westerfeld books at the local library in the months to come and it’s going to be my fault…? >D
April 2nd, 2007 13:54
umm i hope you do know that that was a april fools day joke right???
April 2nd, 2007 14:19
Ya had me going there, Scott. I was really sad about Zane, so I wouldn’t mind if there WAS some way for him to come back…but not like that.
April 2nd, 2007 14:37
no offence dude, but that is hidious!!!! I love your books and you’re just going to scare people away from that book. And I bet its and awsome one too. Your just to good a writer to have people judging your book right away. Please think of something else.
April 2nd, 2007 14:40
Best use of fan art. Ever.
hahaha I read about this on a message board, so I knew it was a joke before I saw it. Kinda ruined it. But kinda not
Wooo I can order Extras now!! Is October 2nd for sure the release date?
April 2nd, 2007 14:53
Ohhhh I’m so pre-ordering it!!
Don’t worry potato..I don’t really like Zane that much, I’m more of a David kind of girl.
April 2nd, 2007 14:59
oh my god thats f’in scary i dont think thats very appealing to random people that pick up the book im scared is zane going to be a zombi or something ugh thats strange and not like the rest of the covers
April 2nd, 2007 15:06
wait-this-is-an-aprilfools-joke-right
i hope…
April 2nd, 2007 15:58
Its horrible. It looks like something a poser despression guy in middle school would draw becuase he had no life. not good
April 2nd, 2007 16:10
i fell in love with the uglies trilogy. i didnt want them to end. i was shocked when zane died in speicals. i cant wait to read extras now. i love reading and writing. and since ive found your books i loved every single one of them. i cant wait to read extras!!!!!
April 2nd, 2007 16:50
Officially April 2nd! Yay. I can comment.
It is kind of ugly, isn’t it? Ahahahah.
(I can do better, guys, I swear! I’ve improved since a half of a year went by.)
Caitlin: It was done in colored pencil, not crayon. It was also done in like… a couple of hours (sorry Scott). I was short on time (also why I didn’t address many anatomical errors).
Guys, have mercy upon a poor artist’s soul!
It was supposed to be cheesy, kind of like how old zombie movies are a bit cheesy, by the way. If you saw the original fan art you’d understand. It’s a joke of Zane and how everyone wants him to come back.
And this is kind of a joke of that joke… Which in the end makes a pretty good joke. At least I think
.
And zombies aren’t really supposed to be… attractive. They’re decaying bodies, doods.
I assume that it’s safe to post all of this… especially since Scott linked to my fan art on the Westerboard forum.
April 2nd, 2007 17:46
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You are my hero.
April 2nd, 2007 22:08
It’s a wonderful drawing.
And even though it was a joke–Zane WILL be returning, right Scott?
I’d better get myself over to pre-order
April 2nd, 2007 22:36
Katerate: It’s a wonderful drawing! Except what has been drawn is sort of gross..
April 2nd, 2007 22:46
Well done, Katerate!
April 2nd, 2007 23:48
Mmm…April Fools?
April 3rd, 2007 01:55
Wait… is this an April Fools Joke? I honestly like the cover. Having Zane back (even as a bloody zombie) would be amazing!!! If this isn’t a joke: I think i’ll like this one even better that the Uglies trilogy!!! I love all that supernatural stuff. If it is a joke: Could Zane still come bask? please?
April 3rd, 2007 02:00
erm potato… angst much? you seem very angry. love the use of fan art scott. katerate you’re awsome. i too am more of a david person. i dont see why everyone thinks zane is comming back. extras has totally new characters in it. its not even in the same country! and besides hes dead! would you rather Tally be going out with some creepy zombie/ reincarnate Zane? dont know about you but that would freak me out just a tad.
April 3rd, 2007 02:42
o.k for the people who are to lazy to read the board and think the cover is the real one it isn’t so dea!!!
ImInLoveWithJonathan!:i am angry most of the time manly at peopl eat me school who think there all of that and then go and make fun of you!
ally
finally some one who doens’t like zane so much to bring him back!!!!
i’ve neve read these books but from wwhat i’ve heard from my sis zane shouldn’t come back!
i’ve read the midnighters series and i think there should be more books in that series!!!
April 3rd, 2007 02:56
i don’t really zane either. you are not alone potato. there should totally be more midnighters books.
April 3rd, 2007 02:58
it’s to bad scott can’t make more
April 3rd, 2007 04:05
no scott will make more. i dont care if we have to hold a “crazed fangirls(and guys) raise money to buy all rights to the midnighters story from alloy so scott can right more books” fund raiser. can you imaging if we had to make a sign for that?
April 3rd, 2007 04:06
and i know exactly what you mean potato. i hate people like that.
April 3rd, 2007 04:49
I think that the person who designed the cover might want to consider seeing a theripist, psychologist or other mental health professional.
April 3rd, 2007 05:27
I Love it!!!!!!!!! It is tottally different from the other books.-ME
April 3rd, 2007 09:52
Why dont you guys like Zane?? I mean hes ok, and yes i know David is kind of better but why are you hating? that’d be really awesome if there were more Midnighter books. and is this like a chat between you people?? jeez.
April 3rd, 2007 10:31
Kayla-wa :it’s not a chat between us people any one can join in you just might not get a reply to your post right away!!!
we should totally do a fund raiser for midnighters so scott can by the rights and stuff back !!!!!how shall we start???
April 3rd, 2007 10:43
guys, bringing Zane back would be like totally tromatic for Tally!! Shellike just let go and finally has a purpose where people aren’t tryig to do major surge on her and you want to through that at her? not cool
April 3rd, 2007 10:44
i agree Cait-wa and i’ve never read the books!!!
April 3rd, 2007 10:44
By the way, I’m with psycokitty on the theripist for the illistrator of that cover. that is weird by a mega-helen
April 3rd, 2007 10:45
believe me potato, Zane being back would be a bad idea
April 3rd, 2007 10:46
it isn’t that weird i actually kinda like it!(i didn’t draw it for the info of the people)
April 3rd, 2007 10:50
hey kayla-wa, Why are you so hating!! I haven’t read the Midnighters yet but I’m sure they’re good but that is not the subject right now!!!
April 3rd, 2007 10:52
zane isn’t in midnighters Cait-wa.
he’s in the uglys series and he has died and every one bu ta couple of people want him to come back.
April 3rd, 2007 11:21
I LOVE MIDNIGHTERS!!!!!!!!
April 3rd, 2007 14:49
lol!!
April 4th, 2007 02:52
wow i figured by today more people would have reaplyed to me but i gues not.
M:i still love midnighters!!!!
April 4th, 2007 02:56
this is a test thing i just want to see what will happen if i do this *dung*i repeat this is a test no need to reply to this
April 4th, 2007 06:15
hah!
April 4th, 2007 07:42
Lol!! me too!!!! I LOVE Midnighters!!!! but its sad…. today at school i lost the third book i was reading. =(
April 4th, 2007 07:44
Cait-wa: i am just sayin i love Midnighters. we all know about the joke by now. u should read them!!
April 4th, 2007 08:14
Kayla-wa you mean you lost the last book in the series of midnighters *gaspes and shuns you*???
Kayla-wa: what joke(sorry i have no clue what your talking about because i only started on here 3 days ago)
April 4th, 2007 08:24
im really feaking out about losing it!!! ive been asking evryone like” have you SEEN this book??” but potato, i mean the joke with the cover!!! the one this whole thing is started by??
April 4th, 2007 08:32
Can’t…stop…laughing! You guys are great. XD
For the record, I say that whatever Scott has in mind for the series will be great. I liked Zane because Tally liked him and he was a nice, clever guy. I’m one of those readers who latch onto the synapses of the focal character. Scott makes all his characters real. Zane’s death was a heart-wrencher (though I am eternally grateful that he died before Tally got there because I really really didn’t want to have to see some sort of morally-confused mercy killing or, worse, the perfect people of this future coming up against a living but very mentally damaged Zane; it wouldn’t have ended well for him that way, so it’s merciful that he died the way he did */rant*).
Still don’t know what to think about David. That’s awesome and sweet that he stayed loyal to Tally for so long. I guess, as with Shay, I’ll learn to love him all over again (everything that happened with Shay was an emotional roller coaster ride for me; “Aww, I like Shay! OMG, she’s in danger?! No, Shay, don’t be mad at Tally, she didn’t mean it! Oh lord, what did they do to you Shay? Wow, she’s so…bubbly-chipper. Wait, no, Shay, don’t be mad at Tally! She didn’t mean it! HOLY CRAP, Shay’s scarier than Dr. Cable! D: Shay is evil… Wait…not so evil… What’s she plotting? Oh… Oh she forgives Tally, yay! I love you again, Shay!” XD).
April 4th, 2007 08:48
oh that joke o.k!ha i love it when some one eles losses something!!!
April 4th, 2007 08:49
Razz:stop freaking out because it’s freaking e out i have never read the books and i plain on reading them so don’t spiol it all or i will be mad!!!!
April 4th, 2007 09:03
Potato: heyyy!!! im going thru a very dramatic experience here!! i am such a book worm.
April 4th, 2007 09:05
same read any good books latly(kidding) where did you last see midnighters???
April 4th, 2007 10:57
well u want to hear the story? i was standing in the lunch line and when i went to sit down it was gone!!! i looked but its nowhere to be found. =( but hey maybe the blue time came and the Midnighters here didn’t want me to read it! j/k.
April 4th, 2007 13:58
When I saw this I wasn’t even aware it was April Fool’s Day, so I totally went 0_____0
My friend had to point out the name on the grave and I laughed so hard. Me and my other friend were like “Well we thought a time machine would be a good idea to bring him back but HEY a zombie will be cool..”
Then I figured out it was an April Fool’s Joke and felt like an idiot. Good joke Scott, you fooled a lot of us. But that would be a really cool plot twist, since he WAS my favorite character. Excited for Extras!
April 5th, 2007 05:01
Kayla-wa: nise i allways leave my book in my back-pack, on my desck,or in the crock of my arm!!!never where i’m going to sit for lunch!!!
Alison:0_____0 my goodness how long did it take you to figur out it was a joke????
April 5th, 2007 06:05
well i did have it in my arm….until then. i still havent found it. the person who did is dead to me!!! hey have you read Peeps??
April 5th, 2007 09:53
I actually figured it out two minutes after I saw the picture, because I read the comments and then realized he already had shown us portions of the REAL cover.
April 5th, 2007 11:01
Kayla-wa ; kill the person when you find out who did it or just dispise thenm greatly!!!
Alison:your weird
April 5th, 2007 11:04
omg sorry Kayla-wa i forgot to answer your ? no i haven’t read peeps just the midnighter series but i plain on reading all of scotts young adult books!!!!
April 5th, 2007 12:27
oh thats the only book i havnt read yet. i checked some reviews and they say its not that good, but who cares??? Its still Scotts!!!! and today my report on him jus got hung up (yay) and i hope Scott reads our conversation!! but hey how do u kno about the uglies trilogy?
April 6th, 2007 00:08
ive read peeps. i loved it but some of the bio lessons in between were a tad disterbing.
April 6th, 2007 00:09
i also dont see why everyone thinks Zane is comming back. Extras doesnt have the same characters. its not even in the same country! and besides Zanes dead. would u rather Tally be dating some zombie/ reincarnate Zane? somethings wrong with you if you dont find that disterbing.
April 6th, 2007 02:05
Kayla-wa: my big sis ownes prettys and specials and has read them all except extras!
ImInLoveWithJonathan! : as you know i haven’t read peeps.
and i totally agree with you even though i haven’t read the books.
oh and i would be in love with jonathin to if he was real and i was a midnighter and he could fly!
April 6th, 2007 02:46
Some reviews said that Peeps isn’t good? How dare they! I love Peeps! I own it! I have read it three times! It was the second Westerfeld book I ever read. Everyone should read it. Everyone.
April 6th, 2007 03:00
capt. cockatiel: well i haven’t yet if only some one would let me barrow there book that i live near so i don’t have to try and find it at the library.
April 6th, 2007 05:56
Potato: ohhh!! well u shuld read them soon. ..and take watever your sis says about them cuz they are awesome!!!! still no book. i love Jonathan though!!!! and Dess is my fav girl!!!
ImInLoveWithJonathan & Capt.Cockatiel: im definetly gonna read Peeps!! and i know Zane isnt coming back. Scott already said wat it was about.
April 6th, 2007 07:26
i dont think Zane should come back. it would just mess tally’s life up even more. she would start to like him again and would have 2 constantly remind herself that hes dead. but that’s what books are about right scott? peoples lifes getting messed up?
April 6th, 2007 11:36
potato you absolutly must read peeps. ill mail it to you if i have to.
April 7th, 2007 02:46
Kayla-wa:i will read them even if i’minlovewithjonathan sends it to me in the mail!
ImInLoveWithJonathan!:thanx!!!!!!
April 7th, 2007 06:36
Yeah, Capt. Cockatiel, I know what you mean. I have a strange habit of going through ancient Amazon reviews, and some Scott books got bad ones. (Including this Uglies review written by a total psycho. It’s in all capitals, and ends with ‘IF YOU LIKE THIS BOOK, YOU GOT ISSUES’. Charming.)
I was in shock. How can anyone not like Scott books?
April 7th, 2007 06:46
yea!!!and send Peeps to me next too!!!!
April 7th, 2007 07:37
lol we need to start a roaming book club. we each buy a book then send it to another scott obsessed fan. sounds like fun.
April 7th, 2007 10:47
IndigoEyes: Who ever did that review, is stupid!!!
ImInLoveWithJonathan: my sis want let me let you send it to me it’s stinks!!!
April 8th, 2007 01:41
i thought the book was pretty good but every other chapter it was interupted by a disterbing biology lesson about parasites so if you skip over al of the even numbered chapters you get more out of the story because it doesnt get interupted. it was kind of like comercials interupting a cool movie every couple of min at really suspenseful parts. only the “comercials” in the book make you not want to even think about cows’ stomachs and slugs and other parastite related things because it makes you shudder.
April 8th, 2007 02:19
ImInLoveWithJonathan!:sound yummy(JK)
April 8th, 2007 03:54
thanky0ugod!
April 8th, 2007 04:35
yes. i think scott had too much fun researching discusting parisite stories to gross us out with.
April 8th, 2007 06:05
I love parasites. They are not disgusting at all! If you thought that Peeps was gross you should read Parasite Rex. And look at the pictures.
April 8th, 2007 07:03
i dint think it was that disgusting just at a few parts just semi disterbing.
April 8th, 2007 07:46
Whew, Potato, mellow out man. If you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t read the comments and get to a library ASAP. Has “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” and “Zelda: Twilight Princess” taught the world nothing about avoiding the Internet to avoid spoilers?
Also, I’ve been meaning to compliment the artist. Katerate, that is some beautiful colored pencil work no matter how little time you spent on it.
April 8th, 2007 07:52
Razz:i have never read or seen ether of the books you mentioned!
but i will get to the library ASAP unless my sis lets me barow her copie!
April 8th, 2007 08:18
“Zelda: Twilight Princess” is a Nintendo game that came out recently and I, alas, had the whole thing spoiled by Wikipedia. I have no one to blame but myself, though. And 98% of readers love the “Harry Potter” trilogy. Make sure you avoid looking it up on-line (especially “Half Blood Prince”) and try to read it in order (“Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” (or “Sorcerer’s Stone” in the USA), “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”, “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince”, and the final book is coming out this summer). Sorry for giving out potential “Uglies” spoilers (I was trying to be vague); you really ought to read the books. They’re incredible, and this is coming from someone who has become increasingly disenchanted with fiction as a whole over the years.
April 8th, 2007 08:38
thats to long to try and read Razz and it has really small looking font.
April 8th, 2007 09:02
Parasites disturbing? That’s like trees being disturbing. Or fish. Or dogs. Or spit. At least, in my opinion it is. It’s not like we can get rid of them with a wave of our hand.
Potato: Long comments rock! You should embrace them and read. Besides, four lines of that one were Harry Potter book titles.
April 8th, 2007 09:14
capt. cockatiel:
to bad!!!
April 8th, 2007 10:14
hmmmm….parasites. it makes me want to read Peeps even more!!!!! & i still have to read the last Midnighters…which is STILL gone Potato!!!!
Razz: im not a Harry Potter fan sry. and i never read the long comments agree wit Potato
ImInLoveWithJonathan: thanks for the info. but yea we shuld start a little book sending thing that would be awesome for us select fans!!!!
April 8th, 2007 10:42
Kayla-wa:man was it a library book???i’m not a harry p. fan ether i jsut whatch the movies!
April 8th, 2007 11:06
no!!!! but i paid for it with my money so its still very important!!! i guess im jus gonna have to get one from the library *sigh* i havnt seen all the harry p. movies but jus some parts. im not really into the whole wizard thing.
April 9th, 2007 02:11
that sucks that you payed for it and then it got lost!!!
i like to whatch the movies but i don’t have a nuff atention span to read the books!
April 9th, 2007 06:03
You should really read the books. They are awesome. Movies never ever compare. (Except in the case of Freaky Friday. That book sucked.)
April 9th, 2007 06:31
i don’t want to read harry P. it sounds really dumb to me but i still like the movies!!!
April 9th, 2007 06:36
well im not reading them either. i can stand books in my interest that are long, but not those 600 pg. Harry P. books. i probly wuldnt even read the 1st chapter.(sorry 2 the fans that also like Scott)
April 9th, 2007 06:43
i agree Kayla-wa i wouldn’t be able to read them ether!
April 9th, 2007 06:59

OMG, even if that’s a joke as a cover, does this mean Zane comes back???
April 22nd, 2007 07:32
HA HA HA! not funny! never was!
April 22nd, 2007 10:58
This so scared me at first. I thought that it was really Zane comming back. Is it? I am so confused!! lol
April 23rd, 2007 10:21
PEOPLE, HE’S NOT COMING BACK! DEAD IS DEAD…
April 25th, 2007 09:54
Well, chhya..but..he could..Scott can do anything he wants in a book..its not real life ya know
April 30th, 2007 12:06
Why dose Zane only have 4 fingers??
May 1st, 2007 12:15
woah, that’s way different. um, i liked the first one better? and that cover is kind of creepy. ahha.
May 3rd, 2007 14:58
lol, omg! Tori is right! he does have only FOUR fingers!
May 4th, 2007 12:41
no i think the other finger is just hidden behind his ring finger. its just the way his hand is positioned. either that or he’s missing a finger.
May 5th, 2007 11:23
it’s hidden hi bye!
May 6th, 2007 15:22
POTATO!!!! SUP?
May 8th, 2007 08:44
POTATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y DONT U COME ON ANYMORE??????
May 10th, 2007 09:33
i’m not aloud to so don’t tell any one i miss you guys like a tun!!
May 10th, 2007 09:37
oh man do i miss you guys i will come on every now and then but not to often okay talk to you guys latter!
May 10th, 2007 14:09
awwww… i cried about zane dying when i read the book (and i was in writitng and not paying attention lol) everyone asked me what was wrong… embarrassing. and now im about to cry again thinking about it, poor tally-wa
but it was a good joke i must admit, but i prolly wouldnt read the book if i didnt know the story behind it lol
i thik tally might get back with david myself but that is just my thoughts
May 17th, 2007 10:02
I never really liked Zane because Tally was saposed to be with David. I was still kindof sad when he died though. I falt so bad tally. Now she can go fall back in love with David. GO DAVIIIIIIIIIIID!!!! So I didn’t really want him to come back. If he did though I don’t know if Tally would want to be with him since would kinda be a zombie. Well he’s dead and hes gona stay dead. Deal with it

I agree with you to. I liked Zane, but he should have been for Shay. I like David better. But he’s not that funny…oh well…some guys are betta like that!

Ha, ha, that’s pretty great, but not great enough to be the actual cover. If Extras looked like this…well…

If that really is Zane… then… I LOVE YOU SCOTT! Yeah, it’s a pretty weird and it doesn’t really follow your normal cover, but why not shake things up a bit once in a while;)

July 14th, 2007 19:09
Please let ZANE-LA come BACK i LOVED HIM. *sob sob* I wish he never died. Oo hopefully his brain rewired himself again while tally was gone to look for Dr. C and she doesnt know yet!! Yay that would be awesome!!!!

Personally… I don’t see why Tally chose Zane over David in the first place! I would DEFINATELY choose David! I know this probably sounds horrible, but im glad you took him out of the story, Scott.
