i like the trust picture better.BTW:i read leviathan and i listened to the first chapter of behemoth they were both awesome!!!!!
January 27th, 2012 02:14
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.
January 28th, 2012 05:43
Behold!!!!!! The genius himself!!!!!!! GO SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 29th, 2012 06:27
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’.
February 4th, 2012 23:47
Can you just reply to this please. It would be awesome.
February 6th, 2012 00:11
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
February 7th, 2012 16:20
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
February 8th, 2012 22:33
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^
February 10th, 2012 01:28
I really think the uglies could be a good series to turn into movies.
February 13th, 2012 07:43
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)
February 16th, 2012 04:52
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.
February 16th, 2012 19:13
your book sucks
February 16th, 2012 19:16
U reallly should make it into a movie(the series) it would be Wayyyyyyyyyy better no offense
February 17th, 2012 07:04
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.

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 *
February 23rd, 2012 05:50
Heyy. I read the Uglies Series and I loved it. You should make them into movies

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

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.

February 27th, 2012 22:03
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 27th, 2012 22:08
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)
February 29th, 2012 06:50
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!!
March 1st, 2012 01:54
wowzers I love your books!
March 1st, 2012 19:31
Great Book I loved it you should make more books telling of Alek and Deryn
March 3rd, 2012 06:37

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.
March 7th, 2012 04:28
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
March 7th, 2012 04:29
o and i also agree with comment 6 that would be amazing
March 7th, 2012 11:11
Just finished uglies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to read pretties
March 9th, 2012 07:18
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?
March 9th, 2012 23:19
i love the book of uglies it’s alsome
March 23rd, 2012 00:38
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!
March 23rd, 2012 01:07
waite a min i thought u was a gurl
March 24th, 2012 05:50
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.
March 24th, 2012 21:04
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 27th, 2012 02:53
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?
March 30th, 2012 00:17
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!
March 31st, 2012 02:49
LOVE YOUR SERIES!!!!!!!XD
GO Leviathan!
March 31st, 2012 12:54
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

@ 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.
April 7th, 2012 21:34
Totally cool! I read all of the leviathan books, besides the manual of aeronautics, will there be another book?
April 7th, 2012 21:43
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
April 8th, 2012 23:27
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!
April 13th, 2012 10:24
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!!!!!!!
April 14th, 2012 05:53
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!”
April 14th, 2012 05:56
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??
April 14th, 2012 20:08

Scott-la, who is your favorite Charactor and why?
April 15th, 2012 05:59
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
April 16th, 2012 01:00
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!
April 16th, 2012 04:44
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.
April 16th, 2012 04:45
BTW is there going to be a Leviathan movie? I hope there will be it will be awesome!
April 16th, 2012 06:30
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!
April 16th, 2012 22:02
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.
April 20th, 2012 03:20
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.”
April 20th, 2012 17:56
@ 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.
April 21st, 2012 22:16
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!
April 24th, 2012 23:25
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!
May 1st, 2012 22:22

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! ???????!

May 21st, 2012 06:17
@ 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

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.
May 23rd, 2012 09:31
Calvin and Hobbes comic. You inspired by that?
