  1. i like the trust picture better.BTW:i read leviathan and i listened to the first chapter of behemoth they were both awesome!!!!!

  2. i am working on reading the third book now i am really into it and wish i had more time to read, but i am curious about where you got the ideas to come up with the machines and beast in the books.

  4. Where DOES Scott get his ideas? His books are completely original and I’ve never seen works based off of his stuff either, unlike some authors that have copied off of others and shall remain nameless because they ‘are not worthy to be mentioned in the same comment as Scott Westerfeld’.

  6. A really cool thing you could do is make a site where you would make your own morphos, like they talked about in the book, so that anyone With a webcam could see what they would look like as a pretty 🙂

  7. Scott your imagination is way beyond great its awesome in some many ways! I already read your whole series of the pretties,uglies,specials and extras but i am reading them all over again (thats how great they are) this series should be filmed
    😀

  8. Scott, youre a amazing author. i read leviathan and behemoth in a week and i can not wait to read goliath. your twist on WW1 similar to the hetalia series has made learning history fun for me. and for that i thank you^u^

  10. Scott-la, I have some totally bubbly (or maybe bogus) ideas for a fifth book to the ‘trilogy’ (once you’re done with ALL of Shay’s story, of course) Please e-mail me, I would like to tell you of my ideas. Or if you just got the “Contact Scott Westerfeld” button working, that would be nice. I really think you should write “Cakes”, and want to thank you for the amazing series you have brainwashed my mind with (in a good way).
    P.S. I think that you should put a big page for all the revealing characters so it won’t take an hour to find Zane.
    -Penny-la (aka obsessive Uglies fan) 😀

  11. in love with Zane. totally bubbly / bogus. oh and i think that you should definetly make the uglies series into movies. that would be over the top awesome of course because i am in love with the uglies series. i had just started specials after reading uglies and pretties. email me please ’cause’ im totally bubbly, bogus, and most importantly pretty.

  14. If you ever do make the Uglies series into a movie, I am BEGGING you to not make them anime, whatever it’s called, and to use real people for the actors. I’m tired of seeing the same people in films. Totally ‘bogus.’ And for the love of your fans, make it better than the ‘Twilight’ garbage movies. I wish there were words to describe how your books have made me feel. Keep up the great work, do not change a thing.

    <3
    Much love,
    Elizabeth Christine.

  15. I wish there were words to discribe your books because awesome and amazing just isn’t enough… Seriously, your way better than Stephenie Meyer, your books are so much better than hers , and i’m talking about ALL the books because i’ve read them all a thousand times and i can’t get tired, i realy like it,
    No, Seriously… You’re a genious! o_o You should realy make the Uglies series into movies it would be so bubbly (x

    Love, Macy-wa *

  17. I’ve never enjoyed reading mainly because of boring much exhausted topics but with the leviathan series it was the highlight of day when I had free time to read weather it would be at home or in class or in the car. the story was exciting and always left you with a NEED to turn the page and see what is next for Alek or Deryn i was so happy to see the ending of the series when all the mysteries were answered and the two finally “hooked up” but im also so sad to know there’s nothing more to read of the two but anyway im rambling i just wanted to say thank you for giving the world such a wonderful story

    sincerely,
    Zak “Elmo” Davis

  18. My friend and I are royalty obsessed with midnighters! The best series ever! We would love if you could write another book. It would make us very happy. Love this book and uglies <3. 🙂

    ~Sam

  20. If You make the Uglies Series into movies… PLEASE don’t let tha movie makers cut out important scenes, and I agree with one of the previous comments… Don’t let the movies be made like Twilight. Twilight sucks! Edward can Go get stabbed with a wooden stake… And Jacob can go fall off of a cliff. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE…Don’t let then ruin your stories… It doesn’t matter if it’s anime, cartoon, real life, don’t let them taint PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Oh… and I agree with comment 6 you should make a cite for morphos! That would be wicked to see what you look like as a pretty… Oh and there should be a print option… 🙂
    -Rebekah-(my names too long for an ending) 🙁

  22. I love all of your books, they are great, haven’t read the adult series though, will read them when I can buy them!!! doing a English project on you as an author and your writing style, have to read your books again to refresh my memory!! Great job on all of the books you’ve published!!

  26. I first heard of the Leviathan series two years ago, and was finally able to discover where a book was being held now. I’ve gotten my father hooked on the series and now he’s bothering me to hurry up and finish the third book. I read some of the comments with people wanting you to make movies out of your books, but I disagree. Most books that I have read and have had movies made of them ended up horrible, but if it is what you choose I will certainly watch.

  27. If possible i need to see what exactly Dr.cable looks like, i have to do a book report asap and i have decided to do a wanted poster on her. please and thank you verry much. i LOVE your books. YOUR AMAZING

  30. one of my students mentioned that you seem to emphasize sports fields throughout your Uglies series. She is currently reading Extras. Can you shed any light on this?

  32. Scott, are you really making a movie because people were telling me that you were and that you weren’t so I don’t know who to believe? Also, if you do, please dont turn it into an anime movie……..PLEASE!

  34. What is wrong with you people? Scott can not just decide to ” make the books a movie” that’s not how it works. Also, you have some book ideas for him? Really? I think he is fully capable to come up with his own ideas. Why don’t you just write your own books weirdos.

  35. WAAHHHHHHHH!! i finished the leviathan series like a year ago an i mis it! why did it have to end! i remember seeing it in this catolge in fifth grade and it was love at first site! i hav the whole trilogy (Behemoth an Goliath in hard cover) in my bedroom right now i rate it the second best series i ever read and i got bored with the Hunger Games!!!!!!! P.S. an Anime would be freaken awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. Thank you for being an inspiration to me, being an aspiring writer myself, you have helped me through your writing, motivating me and helping me keep the dream alive and the words coming simply because I aim to one day be as brilliant as I find you.

    Please never stop?

  37. Read the leviathan trilogy and loved it! I can’t wait to get back to the library and check out the rest of your books!

  39. My heart literally fell to pieces when Alek just threw away what he shouldve had. I mean, he was supposed to inherit such stinkin wealth! But I feel so happy for him and Deryn. I just wish he didn’t have to throw away so honor he was born with 🙁

    I love it anyway. Thank U so much Mr. Scott, for sharing such beautiful story 🙂

  41. @ 40: And who are you to say that. The fact that you found this site and felt inclined to comment on it makes the comment in question (yours) rather hypocritical.

  42. Totally cool! I read all of the leviathan books, besides the manual of aeronautics, will there be another book?

  43. The Ugies series is TOTALY Happy-making. I can’t wait to read “Shay’s Story”. Keep up the awesomeness, you’re on a roll

  44. Hey Scott, totally hope you get this–do you ever tour in places elsewhere than Australia??? I, of course, am probably the farthest away from you, being born&bred in Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America. but it would be totally awesome! And even after reading Behemoth and Goliath over at least 6 times, i’m still cracking up over how well you nailed the “nosy American reporter” stereotype for Eddie Malone. And if you want a decent amount of dollar$ or whatever currency and a few movietheaters full of sci-fi-action-steampunk fans, TOTALLY make the Leviathan series into a film!

  45. I love your books I just finished specials and the midnighters series in two weeks they are so obsessing
    Thank you for being a great writer!!!!!!!

  46. SO I READ UGLIES… MAN WHAT CAN I SAY I HAVE PLENTY OF EXPERIENCES WITH SCIENCETO FICTION BOOKS…AT THE BENING THERE WASNT MUCH ACTION THEN IT WAS AN ADICTION BUT I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE GRAN FINALY SO I LIKE THEM!! LIKE HOW YOU WRITE KIND OF “SLOW…WAIT…I AM JUST STARTING GUYS!”

  47. by the way!!! seriously i dont like to be NOT COOL but there is not progres in the movie at all scott! so what the heck??

  48. Love your book sries..UGLIES i have only but 2 out of the whole series….and i do not know how many times i have read them but they are great…….keep them coming..:D

  50. IS THERE GONNA BE A MOVIE????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  52. So i was looking at different book covers for the uglies and i love the one that says: before the hunger games there was the uglies

  53. they are both good pictures. i am going to use the first one to do my author report for class! I am doing it on the Leviathan series!

  54. I love your Leviathan series so much and am even writing an essay about it for English class. Wish I had Bovril as a pet. He is sooooo funny.

  56. I absolutely adore the Leviathan trilogy! They are so amazing! Love the whole Steampunk thing. Nice pics. Thank you so much for writing such wonderful books!

  57. Hey Scott, where do u want us to send stuff for your FAF? i have a few items, but i don’t know how to get them to you… and i adore Bovril’s character, he’s just like a real creature with a personality.

  58. hey scott i would like to ask when the movie ”The Uglies”‘ are comming out.i really adore and love your writing.i am a big fan of the books ”the Uglies.”

  59. @ Rosie where does he get his ideas? Have you read 1984? It’s a very similar concept to uglies, and it was written in 1948.

  60. I am a HUGE fan of the Uglies series and am looking forward to reading your other books. I think Uglies would make an excellent movie! My dream job is to play Tally if it ever becomes a movie. Thank you so much for your excellent talent and writing!

  61. The library recommeded your Uglies Series for my 15 yr old daughter to read. We got the first 2 in the series; I read one and she read the other…..WOW, we were HOOKED!! We read them all…..then read more…..then more…..can’t you write faster? Thank you for excellent writing, no sex and thoughtful characters. You’ve really got a gift!

  68. :O They are coming out with Shay’s point of view!? Thats amazing! I can’t wait to read it! I love love love the Uglies series! 😀

  69. You have the eyes of an intelligent and creative being! Your book never cease to amaze me. I’m currently reading The Uglies and I cannot put the book down along with the time reading Goliath; finishing the triology! You are an extraordinary man, and your imagination keeps me inspired to write! It would be a huge honour to see you in Winnipeg, Canada, if it were ever possible! Again, please don’t ever stop writing because the world really needs to know more about you and your ingenious mind! ???????!

  71. Well I’m reading your books right now and they are utterly amazing and I think the charector Zane and David are amazing just wanna say great job and love them thanks!

  74. hay scott-sama, i had an awsome idea last night, u should come to canada on your next tour! it’d be sp cool! and we have pritty sweet ski jumps and such, but that’s the best i could think of to convince u. canada’s pritty boring. but all the people i know ar addicted to your books. please? it would mean the world to all us “icy” people. 😉

  75. @ 49, since I posted that, I have read many more books. I now realize that there are many books based off of similar ideas, especially with Uglies. To expand upon the theme of the ‘new’ Uglies covers:
    Before the Hunger Games, there was Uglies,
    Before there was Uglies, there was Feed,
    Before there was Feed, there was 1984,
    Before there was…
    And the list goes on and on

  77. Has anyone else noticed that Thomas Hobbes (you know, like the captain of the Leviathan) wrote a book called Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil (you know, the war of all against all) more commonly called Leviathan? I find that slightly amusing.

  80. I just adore your books! I have only read the Midnighters and the Leviathan series so far but I hope to read more soon.

  81. Omg , your books are incredible , I have only read Uglies,Levithan and Midnighters but they were the best books I EVER read 🙂 Will you produce a movie with you books? Imagine, Uglies books into a movie , this would be,amazing !!

  82. @12 then why are you on here? Why did you feel inclined to go on this website just to post a rude comment? If you don’t like his books then just don’t read them and don’t go post anything ignorant and rude on his blog.

    Well anyways, Scott’s books are amazing and the Uglies series is my favorite out of all of them. It’s my favorite series ever, actually. Thank you for your wonderful books!

  83. Scott…I LOVE your books! I have read Peeps, and the Uglies series. I am on Extras right now! SOOOOOO amazing! suspenseful and awesome… I like the Uglies series better than Peeps, cuz I’m not much of a vampires fan, and i wouldn’t have found Uglies if it weren’t for my friend IPG! (initials) luv ya gur!!!!!!! So, Scott, thank you for being an awesome author!!!

  84. Ummm, I love yours books and the end of Goliath was complete genius. But my sister and I were wondering if you were planing a close-up book I know you have a epilogue at the end but I wanna know if thats the end of their adventages and If Deryn ever get caught. =>
    — A big fan from Kentucky ,
    Sara and Miranda

  85. i just have to add to the numerous comments and say that it was you that made reading FUN for me (i started with Uglies and ‘bloomed,’ i guess, to an avid reader), as well as writing. thank you for every thing!

  86. I just read all these comments and i cant wait to read this book. as a reader it is realy easy to find a book to read and love… im glad this came along! imma read the whole thing in like three days XD i read the whole twilight serise in 2 days so this should be a peice of cake XD keep on writeing so i can keep reading (no pressure) XD thank u so much for being u and being inspired. (i am fourteen and a writer also. if im famous one day my name is caroline thornton lol thank you XD)

  88. Scott, only a smart-Alek (like Alek from the Leviathan series:) like you can come up with something as brilliant as the Leviathan! I just finished reading the first book, and am practically twitching to get my hands on Behemoth! And now I think I’m going to read the Uglies series, because judging by what people have said it sounds really good! Thanks for everything!
    And as much as I admire Dr. Barlow, she does get annoying sometimes…

  89. (For the Leviathan)
    The illustrations were well done! Bravo! And I have my suspicions about that Captain fellow…I have just finished the first book as well and I can’t wait to see what’s in store next. I do hope Alek finds out about Deryn’s little secret…it’s only fair that he gets to know now that Deryn knows his.

  90. I loved the uglies prettiest and the speicals. But part of me thinks that they all were missing something. I loved David and I didn’t think you needed to add zane but over all loved them 🙂

  92. PLEASE MAKE THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  94. I love your books! But really why did you kill off Zane! 🙁 That made me mad… but your amazing books made up for that. 😉

  95. LOVE THESE BOOKS. That is what my friend Eliza-wa said when I asked what she was reading. She told me what the Uglies series was about, and I said I’d read it. I didn’t get to it for a few weeks, but when I did, it was impossible to put the book down. I have read the Uglies series 4 times. They inspired me to become a writer, and I just want to say your fiction and writing style changed my life.

    Thanks for the experience,
    Rachael-wa

  96. Can u write shays story as a longer book somtime instead of a graphic novel no offense its still awesome!!!!!!!!!! O yeah i loved specials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    from, Core-wa

  97. I read all three books in the leviathan series and I was so sad when they were over. I had nothing interesting to read for like months. If Scott comes up with a way to expand the series he will be my official new favorite author.

  98. I just finished pretties. After screaming at Shay for about 10 minutes I picked up Specials. So glad I went to the library this morning!!

  99. I read the Uglies series with my now 20 year old daughter when she was in school. I could not wait for my younger daughter to be old enough to get it. She is now 13 and I had the joy of sharing it with her as well. Thank you, Scott for taking us through that journey. We are lending the books to my daughter’s best friend so that she understands our references to the book that we now apply to real life. I am sure you have been asked many times but I must know – WILL THERE EVER BE A MOVIE?? I have even considered trying to reach a producer myself and pitching the idea in hopes they would contact you.

  100. I LOVE Scott Westerfeld! He’s definitely one of my favourite authors (and there aren’t that many favourites!). I read Uglies many years ago and I’ve re-read them quite a few times. I’ve also read The Midnighters Trilogy (almost equally bubbly) and I can’t wait to read Leviathan! I know, it’s already out but I’m so busy! I’ve been a Westerfeld fan for years now!

  101. I love your books and am reading Extras right now!!!! I read and finished Uglies Shay’s Story today and it really helped me understand more things about the bookiu

  102. I love all of your books!!! I am reading Extras right now and finished Uglies Shay’s story today. It really helped me understand more of the book, Uglies. Please write another one for Pretties!!!!! You are a great author and I absolutely LOVE your books!!!! Extras so far is totally brain-teasing!!!! He he I think the high-tech language has rubbed off on me!!!

  103. Okay so I just finished reading The ‘Uglies’ Series (which was amazingly amazing by the way) And I agree with all the people that said it should be turned into a movie! It is so thrilling, adventurious, beautifully written, sexy, appealing, and daring that it would compete with the Twilight Books (which I have also read and own all the movies). That is how wonderful the Uglies series is. Listen to your fans Scott-la, were geniuses! You are officially my new favorite author :-). You know exactly how to portray everything that all the characters are thinking or feeling, and I’m impressed that you know how to portray a girls feelings so well, considering your a boy (man, male, whatever you feel like calling yourself). I’ve read other male authors books, and you have seriously set yourself so far ahead of everyone else. Stunning. <3

  104. Sorry, one more thing. IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH TALLY AND DAVID?!?! Because at the end of Extras, I do recall Tally and David sneaking of to the pleasure garden instead of watching Nana’s cake explode! (Sorry, spoiler alert 🙂 Haha)

  106. Scott you ar like a huge inspiration to me! I didnt even know what swteampunk was before i read leviathan! Now im hardcore stempunk. Deryn is like my hero! ive always wanted to do something dramatic like u know sneaking into the airforce:)

  107. I read Behemoth in a day. I know that sounds obsessive but I love your writing. (sounding obsessed again sorry) sometimes I hate reading, just because I hate that books end:( Please write more. please! I would buy your books in a heart beat.

  108. Cant wait for the movie if it is coming out! Uglies series is the best books ive ever read, Scott has totally changed my mind about reading… I need to see more of Tally and David’s relationship;;)!!! Cant wait to get Shay’s Story!

  109. I would just like to congradulate you on 1st of all the wonderful series, ‘Uglies’. Just the fact that you can write first person on a teenage girls perspective. That my friend deserves a medal alone! But, a whole series and a beautful outcome? Truly amazing and inspirational! You have made an excellent plot and story line! The characters and the story was overall very descriptive. I could have imagined every bit of ‘Uglies’ without the graphic novel but, boy am I excited! Cannot wait! May even want to get it signed!

  110. ? ?????????? ?????? ???????.?????? ????????? ?????? ????? ???? ???????? ??? ??? ?????,?? ?????? ??? ?????????.???? ????? ????? ????????? ???? ? ?????? ???? ????? ? ??????? ?????????.

  111. I really love your Leviathan series!!! As soon as I finished the Goliath, I wanted to read more about it and the entire series are page turner!!!! If it is possible it would be great if the Leviathan series is published into a movie 😀 😀 😀

  112. My sister and I were doing this thing that if the Leviathan was a movie, and we had to hire Disney actors for the cast, Alek would be Prince Eric, Deryn would be Mulan, Count Volger would be the “nice” version of the mean Step-mother, and Dr. Barlow would be Belle’s father.
    I know this isn’t perfect, but come on people, everyone knows Disney doesn’t come anywhere close to this series!
    😀

  113. When I grow up, I want to be the heir to a kingdom at war or a girl posed as a boy serving on a giant whale thing that can fly! And the I’ll get a pet perspicacious loris!

    -MISTER Sharp = Dylan = Deryn = AWESOME 😀
    -“Fritz” = Prince in Hiding = Alek = AWESOME 😀

    I shall read Goliath next! Just finished Behemoth!

  115. Hey Scott:) you really inspired me. Im writing a book called The Elementals. and you helped me get good ideas. Im going to be an author! Thanks:):):) your the best author ever! i love you!!!!!!!

  116. I love the leviathan series. steampunk is one of my favorite subjects with books, movies and games. if you ever make a movie out of the series i hope it can be an anime because it would allow so much more exciting and awesome visual effects then to CGI animation or other methods. thank you so much scott for the amazing story of alek and dylan ive had alot of fun reading these books.

  118. I want a site where you can make your own morphos, and see yourself as a pretty as mentioned in a comment up there?/\
    l

  120. I agree with ping-la, but canada is WAAAY better than they describe it. More specifically come to ottawa
    :):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

  122. I am devoted! I finished extrs in about a day. I love your books and I only hope for more to come. I really could never get tired of your stunning series uglies! It is the definition of perfection.

  123. i love the book im only a fifth grader my whole class is reading it please make a movie already please send tickets to me when it first come out

  124. Wow Scott you right amazing books! <3 i cant stop reading them. They should really make a movie out of this:D I got your third book yesterday and almost finished with it! (: Love your books Scott:)

  125. Dear Mr. Westerfeld,
    I love love LOVE the Leviathan series. I am currently rereading it for the zillionth time. You should really really make another series based upon WWII, perhaps with Alek and Deryn’s children??? It would be so fantastic!!

  126. Dear Mr. Westerfield,
    I am a huge Leviathan fan and please please please make a fifth book. When I got to the fourth book I was crushed that it was over. Besides, you just left us hanging. If you want to save countless people from agony, pleeeeeease write a fifth book!
    Blisteringly yours :),
    Jenny

  127. Thanks to you, you inspired me and I’m looking to get my book published! look for The Elementals by Rylee Cairns!!!!!!!!!!!

  130. scott-sama, the uglies series is the best of the best when it comes to sci-fi! i’m writing my own series called Edison Academy which will have so many barking refrences to the series it’ll make your bloodey head spin!
    (with the spazzing out said & done )
    ————————————————————————————-
    i agree with you about the hoverboards. since paved roads & highways are too space-wasting. also the Special operation sounds bubbly!
    It’s way too brain-shattering that you had to kill ZANE!
    wanna know a bubbly secret? i’m part of the crims @ my school.
    ————————————————————————————-
    you sir are my insperation for E.A. because [long spazz-making story later] YOU ROCK!!!!

    blisteringly yours :D,
    bex-la

  135. I luv the book “peeps”. It is absolutely Amazing!!! Kinda creepy (with all the parasites and stuff). But I do want to know if those are real parasites. Or if it happened to be just your imagination. I mean, yeah that would be pretty cool, but still, I was all creeped out when I went to bed last night.

  136. I love to read. So I want to read all your books. My friend in getting old with his reading, it takes him days to finish a single book. When he used to be able to read a big book in just one day. I still read a lot, but high school makes me busy. It does drive my teachers crazy though when I read a book when they try to give a lecture in a class. So yeah for me, boo for class.

  137. these are the most amazing books. one of the things that i like most is that there isn’t much romance until the last book, so you actually care about the characters and their feelings, it’s not all centered around mushy stuff. beautifully written, and i LOVE the illustrations.

  138. hi i loved the uglies series your my favourite author of all time i wish you would make more books like the uglies serie thx for ur ginous ideas

  140. The Uglies trilogy is the best!! My favorite is “The Specials”. All great books. You are a great author!!:D

  141. Whoever up there in the comments compared Hetalia to Leviathan LET ME LOVE YOU
    *goes and writes Hetalia/Leviathan crossover*

  144. I just read the midnighters trioligy and it was awesome
    You should really make another book to show what happens next that would be soooo awesome.

  150. by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. osta lavista babby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!guetntag

  153. I love your works so much, especially the Uglies series! Currently reading them for the second/third time. It really should be made into a movie. Thank you for writing such great stories!

  155. I have to admit, I love books with romance! The Uglies and Leviathan series are amazing! If I tried to write a book with romance it would end up super unrealistic and awkward, but you have amazing skill. The Leviathan series is the onlt science fictiob series ive read that i have enjoyed. Anyway you can probably tell that I’m obsessed with your books, and you might not read this since there’s… 154 comments!

  156. The Leviathan series is a good series!!! I dont know if it would be a good movie if anything it would have to be on masterpiece or something as a 3 episode series with 90min each episode lol, like a mini series such as BBC SHERLOCK or something lol, either way I love the Leviathan series lol

  157. Some of your books Scott, are really futuristic. But you’re the one who helped compell me to LOVE books with romance. It was just so upsetting to hear Zane just die. How does he even come up with these ideas! I was recently introduced to your books starting with the UGLIES series (love the love) and finished Sp Yesterday recently (loved the love). BEST WRITER EVER!!!!!!!!

  171. You guys are so stupid, This website is about his books and Scott not for you to play around on! You stupid ass kids.

  174. I hope you (Scott) actually read these. I am a huge fan, although you probably get that a lot, and it would be the coolest thing in the world if you could contact me. Thanks!

  175. In Soviet Russia we blame it on lag. We hate noobs and we execute noobs also. They annoy us because they spawnkill with lag switches and troll us to much! This is the gaming life of Soviet Russia.

  176. scott-sama! I am a die hard fan of your writing, I think i’ve read them all. Uglies is my fave. The only problem is, you have never come anywhere where I could meet you! you are huge in Canada AB, and it would be absolutely life changing if you came to Edmonten or Calgary, so please consider it. I would love to have you read my novel that I will be publishing sometime in the future, and all my friends would make me like, their queen if i got you to come. pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeeeeee? ;D

  177. you sir, are the coolest author ever!!!! i read your books when i was 7yrs old and i am still reading them now! 😀

  178. I loveeeee the uglies series. if you made more to the sequel or wrote similar to them it would be amazeballs

  179. I absolutely love the Leviathan trilogy. I can clearly picture it as a movie. I know some books that are made into movies don’t really follow the book all that well, but this series is so unique and original, it seems like it would be hard to stray from the story line. I don’t know anything about the movie business or what it takes to get it there, but i would love to see it happen <3
    Your writing is amazing. You've inspired me so much.

    -Just another fan who thinks she could help-

  180. Just finished Uglies and Pretties. Love them so much!!!!! I’m reading Specials, and it’ just TOO hard to put down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  181. Hi you are an amazing writer! I have read the WHOLE ugly series and i have to say it is such good writing! you are the author that made me know that science fiction is my favorite genre of book!!! thanks so much for your talent!

    Mollie-wa

  182. I LOVE your Leviathan series!!!! Have you ever considered making it into a movie? I know that those aren’t always as good as the books, but I have a whole load of friends who would love to go see it!!!! Also, are there any plans for making a follow-up series? What happens after!?

  192. Scott-la, you should make a prequel series describing Dr Cables ascent into becoming Special. Maybe she started the cure? Or maybe she had the plan to absolutely bring down New Pretty Town….

  193. I love your books and hate to say this but do you just not care anymore? your going ahead and telling everything in advance so you dont have to deal with us it seems like the way you said we can use the media forever look your wonderful but are you really being this way? and how come you havent replyed to at least one comment? why would you leave a spot for comments if you werent going to read them? please know i am saying this with all respect and absolutely no meaness I just dont understand i am so sorry 🙁

  194. You have a fan in Canada! Congratulation. The Leviathan trilogy is the best series i have read !!! I love it sooo much. Continuing to do what you do.

  195. I know you may hear this a lot, but you have another fan from the US! I know it doesn’t mean much but I wanted you to know you have lots of fans behind you 🙂

  196. Hi, I’m from Russia. And often re-read all the books. And looking forward to the film based on the trilogy “The Ugly.”

  197. @12 just because you couldn’t write a book to save your life doesn’t mean no one else can you petty scummer

  198. just found these book….. have read the first 2 over the last 5 days. i’m so getting the next two, these books are so happy-making :D.

  199. PLEASE MAKE THE UGLIES MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM BEGGING U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  205. Ok the ugliest trilogy has to become a movie. Three movies anyway. I honestly think they might be better that the hunger games just saying. This is me favorite series!! ( I read a lot, maybe too much so I have read a lot of other series) if this series does happen to become a movie be sure to help with the production, especially the script. That’s why the hunger games movies are so good, they actually follow the script because Suzan Collins was there to help write it. She also helped design the clothing and the set so the movie is how she pictured it when she was writing the book. Anyway, amazing books, just finished reading the specials for the second time. I was disappointed tho I when to the website that has the alternative ending but it was taken down 🙁 kinda bummed about that but it’s cool haha

  207. Hey Scott I just finished the Leviathan series and it was great I loved the illustrations especially in Behemoth of the Behemoth fighting the German ships in the ottoman harbor. Though I was not so happy with the “Cliff-Hanger” in Goliath that is sooo not cool man you need to do more with the series or at least like a second series that like branches off of the first.. But PLEASE do like at least one or two more books in the Leviathan series?? Please?? For me??

  209. Yayyyyyy it’s taken me ages to get to your site but I’m here!
    Huge fan! I saw you at a convention earlier this year… It was cool…

  210. Me again! Sorry I forgot to say that Leviathan must be a movie! Just wait a few years until special effects get better, then it will look epic! 🙂
    You probably wouldn’t remember me from the convention, it was that MELBOURNE writers festival. I was the blonde 1 who asked lots of questions all at once at spoke too fast 🙂

  211. I am a thirty five year old woman (whoah . . .really?) and I simply love your work .It is refreshing, invigorating, and simply addictive. Thank you.

  212. I just finished Goliath . . . after finishing Behemoth last night . . . after finishing Leviathan the day before . . . after starting it in school the day before.
    . . . X) Suffice to say, my family’s a bit annoyed at me for spending the first bit of our Christmas Break “hiding away” in my room doing “nothing”. Nothing! Yeah, right! NO!
    THOSE BOOKS ARE AMAZING.
    I’m the kind of person that replies with “eh, I like a lot of books” when people ask me what my favorites are, but that just got thrown out the window. The Leviathan Trilogy! How have I never heard of these before?! You, sir, are an absolute wizard with words and characters (and history and action and tension and humor and perfection!!!! And everything else!!).
    I need to go reread them now. XD
    Thank you ever so much for writing these, sir! I haven’t read such good books in so long; I think I was losing my faith in my school library (and fiction in general these days) and then I read these and BOOM: “FAITH RESTORED MUST READ MORE”. Also, you’ve inspired me to try my hand at writing again; since starting school this year I’ve worked myself into a huge slump where I feel like I hardly have any time or motivation for writing and it’s been killing me inside (no joke). That, and whatever writing I //have// been able to do has been engulfed by idiotic fanfictions and unfinished works that are getting me nowhere.
    I can never thank you enough!
    Now I should probably get off your blog and the internet and go make good on my newfound will to write (because though I’ve thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve found so far on here, spending time reading it and gathering inspiration and optimism is useless if I don’t stop and do something with it) so, I’ll bid you farewell now. Again, thank you!
    Fare thee well (and a Happy New Year, too!):
    Melody
    PS> I’ve started reading Leviathan aloud to my little sister. I think you’ll be happy to hear that she, too, shares my enthusiasm for the book so far. =)

  213. i think that the series of uglies pretties and specials should be filmed into a movie, i would defidently watch it

  214. Dear Mr Westerfeld
    I am what you might say a fan and have read your books numerous times, sometimes in the same week. You have only one minor flaw in your series. You have not continued… I have had the disappointment of reading your books and then finishing to a news report by Eddie Malone. One that does explain clearly the end of the story, but left me with the hunger of a reader. I was one of the students in the audience in the Brisbane Writers Festival. As soon as your presentation was over, I was in need of Leviathan the book. That weekend I purchased the book and had it shipped to me from London. (Accidental Irony) I read the book six times in the same week. I think your work is amazing to make me do that!

    A Devoted Reader

  216. I just finished Uglies and I am currently reading Pretties. Your work is amazing. I am wondering if there is a movie for any of your books, I tried to find some but I only found trailers. I hope there is one out there somewhere or in the process!

  220. Hello,
    I’m doing a project for my Language Arts class and I wanted to now if there is any way that I can comunicate with you for some questions from your book?
    Thank you very much,
    Melissa
