extras

Posted on by scott

I get a lot of fan mail that asks, “Will we ever see Tally again . . . ?”

Well, the answer is now official: yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes!

The book I’m writing at this very moment is called Extras. It’s set in the same future world as the Uglies trilogy. It’s Uglies Book 4, so to speak.

But trilogies only have three books, the pedants among you declare!

Okay, fine. Extras really isn’t the fourth book in the Uglies trilogy. And the Uglies trilogy isn’t actually a tetralogy—or quartet, if you prefer real words in English.

No, the Uglies trilogy is totally a trilogy.

Uglies, Pretties, and Specials are one story, the coming of age of Tally Youngblood. Or, as I half-jokingly refer to it, “The Making of an Eco-Terrorist!” And that story is done.

So what’s Extras? Is it just . . . extra?

Well, no. It’s not just extra, it’s more.

Warning: Mild spoilers begin here, and they’re non-mild if you haven’t read Specials yet.

Extras is set a couple of years after the “mind-rain,” a few earth-shattering months in which the whole world woke up. The cure has spread from city to city, and the pretty regime that kept humanity in a state of bubbleheadedness has ended. Boundless human creativity, new technologies, and old dangers* have been unleashed upon the world.

Culture is splintering, the cities becoming radically different from each other as each makes its own way into this strange and unpredictable future . . .

It’s Diego times a planet, and it’s a pretty interesting time to be fifteen.

That’s how old my protagonist is. That’s right, Tally Youngblood is not the viewpoint character of Extras! Deal with it. Sometimes one needs new fish to fry.

But will Tally be making a guest appearance? Well, it’s not like she retired at the end of Specials. But maybe I should let her answer:

Be careful with the world, or the next time we meet, it might get ugly.

Heh, heh.

Spoilers end here.

Extras comes out October 2007 from Simon & Schuster.

More later.

*See “Rusties, end of.”

  4. 😀 Yesssssssssssss, awesome! I’m so excited for this.
    Is the new main character going to be a guy or girl?
    Oh m’god. Gonna be there the day it comes out.

  5. You know, if Douglas Adams can have a five-book trilogy, you can certainly publish the fourth book in a trilogy as well. No problem.

  6. wow wow wow!

    i’m guessing many people will disagree with this statement…….but i’m kind of glad tally isn’t the pov character this time. not that i don’t like tally, i’ve just been interested since the beginning in seeing that world from someone else’s eyes. so..yay!

    but please scott, *please*…don’t make yourself sick from writing too much again, okay? we don’t want you to be sick.

  9. So is this the story that you had to scrap everything and start over (from your previous entry)? And would that also mean that you had been writing from Tally’s POV before ditching it?

    Just curious…

    I just gave Specials to my sister over Christmas – she’d been waiting since last Christmas to read the ‘final’ installment.

  10. I have a question…

    Is Diego based off of San Diego? Because thats where I live right now and the geography here pretty much fits in with what Diego is described as (lots of train tracks leading to the ocean and Death Valley is pretty close)

    Its may just be a name coincidence, but I really want to know 🙂

  12. Hey! If you can do that, why not another midnighter’s book? lol, kidding. Can’t wait to read Extras, even though I’m still on the library’s waiting list for Specials (since last august! Proof of how popular your books are, I guess).

  13. Oh. My. Gosh. Yay! Yay!! and YAY!!!
    That totally made my day. I will buy that book the first day it comes out … October is only 9 or 10 months away.

    Ahh this is amazingly amazing! I can’t wait to see what the new character’s like. [The only thing that could make this any better would be a fourth book added onto the Midngihters series as well. (hint, hint. Haha.)]

  15. I am ecstatic!! I was eally depressed for about a week after finishing Specials, because you give VERY subtle endings (which is cool, or “fool” as Zahler would say- why do they have weird names in The Last Days?) And now I could just kiss you, but I won’t!

  17. Me saying “I’m happy” is like saying France was “pleased” at the end of World War I (studying l’histoire at the moment). O. M. G.

    !!!

    I’d put an insanely long number of A’s in my YAAAAAAAAY!, but I don’t believe WordPress would allow it.

    Therefore, w00t.

  18. Oh my gosh! Excuse me well I hyperventilate…..!

    I’m so thrilled! The best,er, “series” has a new family member!?! Yahhhhh!:D

  19. I told my friends today at school and they were all happy. But they wanted Midnighters to have a new book. Which isn’t really possible until you (Scott) buy the rights back, right?

  21. yesssss u are crazy awesome doubled…
    not that u werent before. before u were crazy awesome…to be crazy awesome doubled…thats an honor too high for anyone but u

  25. Okay just so you know i think you just made and ruined my year all at the same time because ever since i finished specials oh about 4 days ago i’ve been wishing and praying for you to write another and now you are YAAA!!! But i have to wait til almost the end of the year for it BOOOOO! My year will now consist of me thinking and re-thinking what could be in Extras will Tally [spoiler, spoiler] go back to her first love David after all their time together in the wild since he took on how many year of evolution for her again? twice for her. By the way i looove that line. Duh of course she will. That is me telling you what you should have in there in case you didn’t notice. Will Shay stop being a back and forth i hate you no i love you bi-polar fill in the blank.Tell me i NEED TO KNOW!
    But really thanx for this you realize i’ll beg for another if i don’t get what i want with this one though right?

  26. Oh and can a see a lot of Tally even though its no longer the Tally show. I know i know just let her be the center of the universe for another oh let me see 16,000 words. Just kidding i don’t need that many but give me some info on Tally, David, Maddy, and Shay and i’ll be happy.

  28. okay, so in a way this is exciting… but why not keep tally? because to tell you the truth, all i really cared about was tally and zane/david. but yeah [spoiler, spoiler] it would be kindof boring. mk im basicially just talking to myself

  30. Nice, This is appreciated soo much. If you ever read these comments left on your blog, please think about mines.

    Name someone in there Whisler >.

  32. SCOTT, I love you. You are my life. We all love you. Your books are on hold at my library and I swear I will buy many many copies of Extras. Very exciting.
    (Can I be in it? Just as a random Diegoian??? I will love you forever, Scott…)
    Also, look at community.livejournal.com/diegocity where we have an Uglies RP going in Diego after the cure is distributed.
    YOU’RE AMAZING SCOTT!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!! YOU HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!!! *sigh* October seems SO long away..

  34. In case you didn’t get the message from my previous two posts, you have made my day, my week, my month and my year.
    Thank you Scott.

  35. Great yes i was hoping there would be another one thank you i love the trilogy but i was upset there was not going to be another on but now there is . One question In the the end when she leaved the message”The wild still has teeth, special teeth and ugly teeth,Us” and “Next time we meet it might get ugly” does that mean Tally and David are back together again. And [spoiler, spoiler, spoiler].

  37. OMG!!! I can’t wait for Extras!!! My entire family is into these books and it’s going to be great to get to read the new one. I am a bit sad that’s it coming out in October but Great things take time don’t they. By that I mean this book is going to be amazing. I am really happy that Tally isn’t the center stage character of it all now. I got really pissed off when [massive spoiler!] in specials though. I really did throw the book across the room. (I know who I am too Scott) Anyway I’m glad that I get to meet someone knew and I can’t wait to meet her………him?

  40. Because I will preorder many copies.
    For all libraries in my greater metropolitan area, for all friends, family, and OF COURSE for myself.

  41. OK now that every ones done we should talkabout the book will the main charecters be thows 3 kids that helped tally and made fireworks saying new smoke lives

  42. that WOULD be cool. I love Sussy and Dex and–what’s the other one’s name? Must go look it up….
    But of course not, Haddy. I am going to be the main character. lol jk

  46. *screams in shock and dies* OMG! OMG! OMG! This has got to be THE greatest news ever. As in, EVER! I’m so happy there’s another book, and I don’t really mind it’s not all about Tally, because another person will be just as cool.

    OMG! OMG! OMG! I’m having a hard time letting this news sink in. Now I’ve just got to torture just about everyone I know with the news.

    And will it come out late in Australia like The Last Days did? Because if it does… I’ll die a second time. Literally.
    Yay! Again! Thanks so much Scott!!!

  47. *reads and totally dies*

    OMG! I was reading this and I am so happy! I love the books and another one! *dies again*
    excuse me for a momand while a speak pretty…

    Totally happy-making! When I first read this I was so bubbly!

    Kinda bogus (no offence Scott) that Tally’s not the point of view though… Oh well!

  49. yay!!!!! but ya know, if you can do this, you can definitaley do more midnighters books. how long will extras be?

  50. Omg thank you so much scott. This has made my day porssibly my week. I know my friends will love to hear about this.

  51. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! im really excited right now! YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE very HAPPY SCOTT! but can you maybe just hint a little on whether tally and david end up together? maybe, if you want, if i bug you enough? i really want to know what happened with them!

  54. That makes me happy beyond reason, thanks for that, Scott. I think it’ll be a brand new character, or you know what would be really interesting is if it was from the Point of View of one of the surgeons, or politician types that want to KEEP the control. At any rate, October cannot come soon enough.

  55. Oooh, point of view of Dr. Cable….but she’s all cured now. Darn.
    SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE’S DAYS YOU HAVE MADE, SCOTT?
    I am quite excited. I have been telling my entire school this news, although half of them don’t really care. (Yes, half of them have read Uglies/Pretties/Specials…)
    I think I should definitely make an announcement over the loudspeaker. Very Crim but very not allowed, unfortunately…;(

  56. heeyyy we just love these books there justt SUPER kool were from flin flon manitoba and there the only books that are interesting ……

  57. Okay at first i was like who names there book uglies n stuff but then i made my librarian order them cause they sounded interesting.
    I am super glad i got her to order them cause they are off the chain. I really Cannot wait for the next one and hopefully alot more after that. I like them so much i am doing a report on them they are just …..wow you know hahaha well i guess i better header b4 the teacher see’s me well ilove the books

    -Holly-wa

  63. laine-wa he has made my week, not just my day but my week.

    this has got to be the best news i have heard in this month. ill probably get in trouble again for reading when im not supposed to.

  64. Reading when you’re not supposed to? That is madness! Though I got in trouble for reading Peeps when I was supposed to be reading No Logo. I was never told to read No Logo, but my copy of Peeps was taken away! And my English teacher sat with it laughing in the corner.

  65. Off topic again with what Emma said…if Diego is San Diego, would that make Tally’s city New York? I say that because it’s the only city I can think of with a river running around an island in the middle…hmm…that would be interesting. And then the Rusty ruins would be, what, Jersey or something? That would be so cool!

  66. This is so exciting! I am re-reading the ones that exist in celebration. By the way I have read more of your books. You are so talented, Scott, to be able to write so many different, but absolutly amazing books.

  67. Horay!

    I won’t be one to complain about the whole four books in this trilogy thing, as the English author Piers Anthony is somewhat infamous for writing a 27 book “trilogy”. Well, anyway, that’s awesome. Just a question: does the release of Extras mean Leviathan has been put on pause? Just wondering.
    But yay yay triple yay for Extras!

  69. Zane is dead, yo. Unless if he comes back as a zombie– which is, of course, always exciting.

    And yeah, what ever happened to Leviathan? Are you writing these both at the SAME TIME? That would be intense. But don’t get too intense, a.k.a. don’t get shingles.

    I’m sure you’re chillin though.

  70. that would be cool…since I live in Philly
    I think Zane should definitely be resurrected from the dead lol

  71. no way! then david wouldn’t have a chance. i was rootin’ for david the whole time! but no.
    ok, am i the only one that thinks that the word ‘zane’ reminds me of some one with crazy aname(how do you spell that? amime? oh well…)hair?

  76. I left a suggestion for a name, I said Whisler. But now having said that I think I’m changing my mind lol. If you do need names try Kruz.
    heh Alright goodluck.

  77. Woohoo!I’m so happy! My teacher told me that tetralogies didn’t exist and said they were called “series of ___” but they do exist!Haha!IN HER FACE!

  78. SO HAPPY! Except that Tally is not the main Character any more!I hope you can keep me interested in it. SO write write Scott because I can not wait untill October for it!!!

  79. OMG!! I just finished thet trilogy so I haven’t read anything else yet but I am so looking foward to it…!! I am soo happy a 4th is coming out, and I guess it will have a cool twist with Tally not the main character… But I was so upset when Zane died, Scott Westerfeld had me hooked on the bond the two of them shared, I was so sad at how Tally was so clearly heartbroken when she saw the fragile Zane. I also hope that in the 4th book all Tally, David, Shay, (and the other Cutters) and Peris can all meet up again at some point. I think Tally not being the center(narraration) of the book will be a new idea but again I hope they all come back… I am so pysched and can’t wait to get The Extras in October!! =]

  80. Does anyone agree that the ending was amazing. the part about if like we meet again things might get ugly. I think there will be an encounter with tally and david.
    OOOO

  81. I’m looking forward to new characters. I don’t think I ever learned to appreciate Tally (or Shay, for that matter) as much as everyone else did. So I think that it’ll be cool to see the world falling apart from someone else’s eyes. I’m pretty sure some are hoping for a full-fledged Tally book, when, in truth, I’d be plenty happy for something similar to the reappearance of Cal and Lace in The Last Days: it was nice to just see a bit of them, almost as a reassurance that they wouldn’t be forcefully resurrected to a new book when the end of their own story was completely fine.
    Can’t wait until October!!!

  83. well, although I’m sure we would all love it, I doubt Scott is going to write 23 more books. Although it would be nice, I’m not complaining. 4 is enough to be grateful for the rest of my life.
    ~~And I don’t mind Tally not being the center of the book. Her story’s over, but I do think she’ll come back. (Does that mean things will “get ugly?” Does that mean people are becoming Rusties again? *Sigh* Dr. Cable was right….I knew it would happen eventually…lol)
    And if Tally isn’t the center of the book, I guess we’ll survive a book without Zane. I mean, we all lived through Uglies without even knowing of his existence (save for that one mention of Shay’s of the “other people she’d almost run away with”).
    One condition though, Scott. If this is a fourth and final novel, you need to have a satisfying, final-making ending. Not that I didn’t love the end of Specials, but it left a window open. Hence why you were showered with a gazillion emails requesting more. If you leave it as an unfinal ending, people will want more. Like me.
    Wait–if this is a few years after the so-called mind-rain–then that means that Tally would be–would be–18 or 19 at least….hmmm…

  85. OMG.OMG.
    I have a question for all of u. Did anyone ever think what would happen if Tally did not take Zane off of life support? OOh freaky. wow.

  86. WOOOOOOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOOOOOOT Im freakin excited for the next book like wow how awesome is that a new book woah i better get it if i dont ill be superly duperly mad i mean what if they like sell out the first day and then i dont get it im ill seriously cry how sad is that like what would you do if you didnt get it ahaha i must seem really weird but im mean …….seriously urgh im stressed now and omg Zane seemed soooo Fine!!!!! i mean like really why would they just urgh ahhhhhhhh im confuzled y shouuld he die? i mean anyone agree Zane seemed so superly duperly nice Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh OMFG im just urgh yah well nothin left to say Bye

  87. I’m pretty sure the Rusty ruins are New York City, or at least that was what was going through my mind, going against what that other girl said… But that would be FAWESOME if it was based around Sussy, Dex, and the other kid- they were my idols when they first showed up… The Smoke Lives!!!! Please, Scott, email me if it’s able to be preordered: faerie.nights@yahoo.com

  89. Kay, so, I went and told everybody about this. Several times. They’re all sick of me now, but they’re going to read it when it comes out.

    Just so you know. *grin*

    (Everybody, btw, is everybody I know. Not everybody, ever. Sadly.)

    ~Mary

  91. YAY!! That is sooo awesome!! People are sick of me telling them about Uglies. But now my friend is reading the book. So I guess the constant talking worked! 😀

  93. YAY I might have to do a very strange happy dance. I will miss Tally But i wonder of the new charcter will be and will David make a apperence to? I have been wondering what happens after the specials! And this put a smile on my face after my hard mid-term exam!

  95. Do David and Tally get back together or do they just work together if they get back together it wouldnt be so cool for zane to come back to life but then again what do i know it might make the story inerestin see ya.

  96. YAY! i LOVE the uglies trilogy! i can’t wait to read the new one!! :]]
    oh, and do u think there will be a fourth book to midnighters?
    that would be so cool!
    :]]]]

  97. OMG! Yay….. but it wont be the same!! Zane is no longer with us.. and i loved when Tally and Zane were together! It was so bubbly!! lol j/k. But really… I think htat in this next book there should be some way that they were able to bring Zane back… like they cloned his brain ells and added them lol. And it should be a lot about Tally. But Im still excited for Extra.

  98. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!
    yayayaya….. im so happy you are making Extras! im so excited and i can’t wate! My friends and I are going to miss Tally and Zane, but im so so so so so so happy that you are wrighting another book about them . 😉 =) 🙂
    ya im so happy! the Uglies trilogy is the best series of books EVER! 🙂
    i can’t wate (but i guess i have to) O_o
    -katie >_

  100. My wife will be psyched. Specials just arrived and she stole it from me so she could read it first.

    Love what you have done for sci-fi. IMO, you have brought it to a whole new generation. Thanks.

  101. OMG! i love this series! when i read the new one was coming out!! i’m soo excited! I nearly screamed my head off! I was kind of dissapointed tho that Tally isnt the main character! but someone new..mm..could be interesting..lol! I called my friend immediatly and nearly killed her ear…whoops! But i’m so excited! I just knew it wouldnt end with Specials! Thank you for writing more! I cant wait! It better be as good as the first three!
    ~Shan~

  102. My whole world has been so much more… “icy”, if you will, since I read the Uglies trilogy. I read them all over the last week of the Christmas holidays, along with a couple other books, which was considered a total waste of time by my fellow peers. It caused a large amount of them to sit there staring with their mouths open, attracting flies and bits of garbage and nasty caf food (courtesy of my fellow students). I don’t really mind, though, because the books were just that amazing. I can’t stop saying ‘bubbly’ and, when asked about how I did on a math test, I blurted out, “Bogus! I went totally brain-missing!”

    I actually had a pretty wacko Specials dream, too. I won’t get into because it was sort of long and seriously messed up and I know you’ve got better things to do, but if you’re interested in on my livejournal.

    Oh yes, and I’m pretty sure my English Media teacher loves you. I was finishing up Specials in class, and reading during a work period is usually a no-no (Ew, who says ‘no-no’?) but I figured I’d try to weasle my way out of getting into trouble. I told him about the surge and New Pretty Town and the next day he started asking me the names of the first two books and other books by you. He wants to see if he can get the trilogy into the curiculum, because of all of the media parallels and whatnot.

    So, I’ll end this terribly long comment by saying I think it’s awesome that you’re writing an… extra… type… thingie. When I got to the end of Specials I debated never reading the last line, but curiosity got the better of me. So I’m seriously looking forward to Extras. I’m sure it’ll be bubbly.

  103. Scott I wanna thank you for bringing your wonderful talent into the world I just love Sci-fi and compaired to you they are nothing Im so into the uglies series that im reading them again but not as fast this time there were a few things that i missed in the first time around I guess its because i read it so fast but that will all be salved once im finushed the second time around boy ive never read so much in my life. Thanks again

  104. Oh wow!
    Thats so exciting! Can’t wait till it comes out!
    Kind of upsetting that Tally won’t be the main character, but it will be great to see everything from someone elses perspective 🙂
    Hope we see more of Tally and David…
    I’m sure the book will be bubbly!

  106. yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    thanks

  107. I CANT WAIT TO READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was really interstead in the whole Tally/Zane/David thing but hey i can deal with it.As long as i never have to put down anything that Scott Westerfeld wrote im cool.Man o man i cant wait!Well i guess ill have to.THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! =)

  108. u know scott? u hav gotten me n my frendz 2 start a clique? its called ‘hilstaney’ cool eh? but i still luv ‘crims’ LOVE IT!! omg! why cant it cum out sooner? ugh! i luved zane-la! i only wish i had a boyfrend lik him…:( u know i think zane-la shuld come back alive and have ta find tally-wa cause that woul b a GREAT book.
    ta ta 4 now!

  109. i hated the endin 2 specialz!!! it left totally brain-missing!!and is there gonna b a movie? that would b SO awsome! but how would u find OVER 200 pretties? i absolutely love da words
    “icy” and “bubbly” 1 time i waz talkin 2 my frend and i said bubbly and she waz like “what?”
    and i waz lik nutthin, i want 2 hav a dream about da bookz but i havnt yet:( and 1 last thing.. is the person on da cover of specialz tally or shay?

  111. Uglies was a fantastic book. I was really overwealmed by it, i think that anyone who read this trilogy really changed teir own world and how they see it. Your story is a creative and somewhat true dilema that we face today in our own world. It’s good that readers can refer to our own world after reading a life-changing story. I enjoyed it very much and i’m glad theres an “extra”; it be interesting to know what happens to the world yet again as history repeats itself…

  112. *GASP*
    I had just finished reading Specials this morning, or evening, depending on how you look at it. I stayed up until 1:30 AM last night reading, and as soon as I woke up this morning, I picked it right back up. I finished at exactly 1:00 PM. I didn’t even brush my teeth or get out of bed before I started reading, I just picked it up, disturbing, I know. The trilogy is awesome. No. Beyond awesome. So awesome, awesome looks pathetic in comparison. [Spoiler] I almost cried when Zane died! I hope she doesn’t go back to David, it makes her seem… I don’t know… unfaithful I guess.[/Spoiler] I can’t wait until Extra’s comes out, these next few months will be torture. But until then, I’ll just have to look for your other books.

  113. fine ill stay quiet, lol,i also stayed up till 1:30 am one night when i waz readin pretties, actually i lost track of the time of night when i waz readin the whole trilogy, and yeah the book dus change how u look at the world.

  114. okay, so it has been established that trilogies don’t have to have only 3 books. this means that midnighters doesn’t have to have only 3 books. get the hint? i’m trying to be subtle. not. please please please write more midngihters books!!!

  115. Hey This Would Be So Cool If you Could Make ” Clint A Cerictor in Your BOok I allways Thought That Clint (my name) Was A Very futurestic Name so i Giv eyou My Permishin To Do THat that you for makein a nother book my techer read it to my 9th grade english class and we all LOVED it!!! your one BIG Insperashon in my life!

  117. I am sooooo happy! I`ve read Uglies and Pretties and I`m in the middle of specials! My class had to read Uglies for a book report and there are only 3 copies of Pretties and 2 Specials in my whole school(including mine) so everyone wants to broow mine! Your books are really popular in the 6th-8th grade! It`s a long time to wait, but I`m sure it`s going to be great!

  118. I hate it I hate it . But I love It
    Sadly but true I read the articul about “Extras” and I havnt read “Specials”
    But I cant believe she chose Zane over David.
    He was her first love. But I read Pretties in 3 day I couldnt put it down and thats the fastest I’ve ever read a book .
    At the end of both Uglies and Pretties I was so gittery I can wate till I get my hads on Specials. I really wanna know what happened to Zane….oooooo I cant wate!

  119. I cant believe that “Extras” comes out in October thats when my Birthday is!!!!!
    Mabye I’ll get it for my Birthday.

    O Is Diego some how related to Tally or anyone in the past 3 books?

    jw I also heard that Zane isnt in the 3rd book how sad it makes me wanna cry 🙁

  120. I’ve gotten in trouble so many times for reading till 3:00 am and then sleepin till noon

    But untill I read Uglies and Pretties I hated to read. And whats so wearid is that my BFF Shay intro. me to uglies and when we talk on the phone thats all we talk about.

    Thanks Scott for turning me into a book worm.lol

  121. yay now im so happy this is greati cant wait till it comes out! i know that when it first comes out ill be there to buy it!
    yay im so happy

  122. YEAH!!! ONLY ABOUT…… 243 days…. O_O 🙁 Make it October (If it was October I would be DOULBLY HAPPY) ^_^

  124. OMG
    I can’t believe
    as soon as I saw there was a fourth book
    I jumped out of my chair and screemed(scaring my mom halv to death)LOL
    I’m so excited
    but at the same time Im kind of confused at why Tally-wa isn’t in it
    Im sure it will be the best one yet

  125. Oooo! I am very happy happy happy! I sure hope Tally shows up in this book a few times. Can’t-wait. My birthday is right after it comes out. The best birthday gift ever! Thanks SO much!

  126. (This is a VERY long post, so just bare with me, here!:))

    OMG!! Do you guys know how long it takes to read all of the posts on this board!?!?! FOREVER! Well, anyway! I absolutely LOVED Specials!!!! I almost burned the book when Zane (spoiler) “died”. Actually…. they never actually saw him die, he was just barely alive…maybe he recovers? OMG! YOU JUST BETTER MAKE A MOVIE OUT OF UGLIES/PRETTIES/SPECIALS/EXTRAS! (and if you do, I call dibs on acting as Tally-wa!) (lol like that would ever happen!) I have SO many friends who don’t read at all, and a movie would be absolutely PERFECT for them. YaY for EXTRAS also!
    Really disappointed that Tally isn’t the center of attention anymore…. 🙁 *tears*! But I’ll get over it…. eventually…..:(

    GRRR! You mean I have to wait for another book to come out!?!? I’m already waiting for Inheritance (third book of Eragon/Eldest trilogy) and Inkdeath (third book of Inkheart/Inkspell trilogy) AND the last Harry Potter book to come out, and now this?!?! How will I survive?

    Once again LOVE all you books so much, Scott!

  127. OMG! btw, I have dreams about playing Tally in the movie….. Creepy….. anyway. Another question! How do you come up with so many weird names? How do you even pronounce them? like Zahler (Zu lurr? or Zay lur) Ho? Tachs? (Taks?) Fausto?? (Fah sto?) HELP! IT’s not my fault I’m from Tennessee…. 🙁

  128. You know what book I really want? Another So Yesterday. I have read that book six times now. And even though the so-called “New York Trilogy” was finished with The Last Days, Hunter should pop up again. But all of you seem to like Uglies/Pretties/Specials the best, so I won’t rain on your New Pretty Town parade by saying how So Yesterday is the best.

  129. So Yesterday/ Peeps/ and The Last Days were really good books too, but I read them a while back and my fan-ness has worn off… 🙁 so sad-making isn’t it? if anyone has an answer to my last post my email is Tally_and_Zane@yahoo.com

  130. OMG! I wish you could keep doing these books forever! I really wish I was a pretty or an ugliy living in a drorm! Man, I wish I could live in this future. Well, I just say WRITE THE BOOK! But, don’t get sick or overwork your self.

    – The Uglies Trilolgy’s biggest fan

  131. OMG WE LOVE IT!!! EVER SINCE THE ENDING OF SPECIALS (WHICH WE READ IN TWO COUNT EM TWO DAYS) WE HAD SO MANY QUESTIONS GOING UNANSWERED. WHEN KAYLA HEARD ABOUT EXTRAS SHE TOLD ME RIGHT AWAY AND NOW WE’RE COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TILL WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON IT^^ THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS… YOU’RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Reading westerblog and your books is like a second religion to me. (did rise of the fallen empire stop being published cuz i cannot find it) I just have one question about Extras, is it in the piont of view as a guy??

    Please respond, I’m dieing to know and afterwords I can brag to all my friends!

  145. I can’t wait! My friend and I just finished reading the Uglies trilogy, and when I told her that Extras was coming out she was over joyed! So was I. Yipee!

  146. Thank you for publishing the fourth book, I will buy it as soon as it comes out. I enjoyed your triology a lot, because this books describe a lot what humanity is approaching in the future, and why we should change our living habits.I am sure you have opened a lot of teenagers’ heads to what the future might be like and what we should thing about beauty.

  148. 🙂 I AM SUCH A BIG FAN!
    I’ve read the series twice and am sooooooooo
    excited for Extras! This is the best news i’ve had since xmas!

  149. omg i love love your books and im so happy that you are making another book and that your turning then into movies plus i think you should have daniel be the main charater just saying he he he but i lve your books so much i own the uglies triolgy and peeps both one and two and still in the buying process for midnighters thanks for your books and for making my day

  152. Yaron
    January 10th, 2007 19:54 5You know, if Douglas Adams can have a five-book trilogy, you can certainly publish the fourth book in a trilogy as well. No problem.

    your so right so so right and i still love tally and there is a empty space where tally used to be in your books

  155. nicole- i am pretty sure that i read,some where, that the main character will be a girl around 15 years old. i think.

  156. OMG!!! You totally just made my week!!!!!! I WAS DIEING FOR MORE!!!! My friends kept saying “Brandy get over it he’s not goting to write another book” But I knew too many fans would request it. It was a must. hehe. I CAN’T WAIT!!! *Starts bouncing up and down* Is it going to be like Peeps and Last Days where the point of veiws is totaly and completly different and we don’t see the old charcters till the end of the book??

  157. yeah the narrarator is a new girl i think, but he did say that there was going to be a surprise visit by tally. so yeah…

  158. omg this is definitly proof that bothering the heck out of people DOES infact wourk rather nicely. so now i will pelt you with even more WRITE MORE MIDNIGHTERS BOOKS!!!!! and my friend with more READ SCOTT WESTERFELD BOOKS!!! and my dad with more TAKE ME TO THE BOOKSTORE SO I CAN BUY MORE SCOTT WESTERFELD BOOKS!!! and so on and so forth unti;l everyone gives up and does what i tell them to… or duck tapes me to a chair and gives me an intervention. but i did get my friend to start the midnighters and my other friend to read uglies. only heather is left to force… i mean suggest that she sould read the books. muahahahahaha!!!!! my evil persuasion works again!!!!!!!!!! lol

  159. and i too have been found using the words brain missing, icy, bubbly, and pretty-making. repetedly. during normal conversation. sometims with teachers. (yeah calling your theology teacher brain missing. not a good idea. oops. 🙂

  160. I am so happy about “Extras!”I read all three of your books in one day. I hated how Zane died. Love your books though.

  162. OMG i cant wait for the Extras book to come out. I’v got all my friends hooked now! Please keep writting..Because i LOVE your books. 🙂

  163. Mr. Westerfeld,
    you are a genious, anyone who can write such goods books is okay in my book!! you had me reading nonstop! i can’t to get my hands on extras!!

  165. YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is the cooliest theing evur!!!!!! i feel so bubbly now!!!!! and tally should appear in this book.ALOT. because she makes the series so ……… well awesome! ;D Tally-Wa loves u!

  166. u know what. u should tottaly make a movie about this stuff. but it should follow the books. or ill be super p.oed. yeah a movie.

  167. OMG OMG OMG OMG YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW EXCITED I WAS WHEN I HEARD (well, read) THE GREEEEEEEEAT NEWS!!!!!!!! Idk if I can wait until October though!!! But it doesn’t matter because I am soooooooooooooooooo extremely happy! I was jumping up and down and having a major spazz attack when I found out you’re writing Extras!!!!!!!!! Well, in the mean time (while impatiently awaiting the arrival of Extras), I’ll be reading Midnighters because I have heard great things about that series too! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!

  168. Me again…I also wanted to add that I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want Tally to fall back in love with David because I absolutely LOVE Tally and David together! And yes, I know that Tally won’t be the main character, but that doesn’t mean you can’t tell us a little about what happens to her! Right???

  170. No Joke? Woah I am SOOOO HAPPY right now!
    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
    You have no idea how much I love your books.I read them a bunch of times by now.I was really sad to know that the Uglies Trilogy was going to end at “Specials” and I was thinking to email-ing you and probably beg for more,but i’d figure you probably wouldnt listen to me BUT again THANK YOU! I cant wait till Ocotber

  171. OH MY GOD IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! I told my friends about it to… most of them started screaming. We all love you EVEN MORE NOW!

  172. oh one more thing. Definatly make a movie out of these books. My friends and I all decided that if you were to make a movie it would be crazy successful. But it would need to be real tight arounf the books. If it does that stupid thing were its got the same base story but different events, well that would be SUCKY! But we think that those books would make some of the best movies EVER!!!!!

  173. *drowning in fangirly happiness* YAAAAAAY!!! Is there gonna be stuff aslploding? Is there gonna be fighting? Ninja-style? Is there gonna be *continues for two hours before running out of breath* Sounds cool! I hope Miss ELF (Earth Liberation Front) does show up, I’m curious as to what she’s been up too…*has mental image of Tally perched in a tree staring at a squirrel*. And I agree with Savannah on the movie thing.

  175. Yeah I totally agree about the movie thing these books should TOTALLY be movies!!!! They would be AWESOME (especially getting to see Tally transform throughout the three movies…that would be soooo cool!) I can see where it would be difficult to make everything look just right and stuff, but you should still sell the rights that would be awesome!

  176. Well i dont think Tally would sit, staring at a squirrel… unless it’s on fire. (Haha, in-book joke…)

    But YES, i loved the series and now theres a new one coming out!!!! *puts self in cryogenic hybernation until October*

  177. Uglies, Pretties, and specials all rocked. I think October is way too long to wait for another book to be published :P, but I shall wait. You rock!

  178. YAY! I’m so happy i wish i could buy the book unfinished!!!!! I’ll be there on opening day, i know it!

  181. I would like to say that your books were really amazing and I just couldn’t stop reading them.I was so into the books that I didn’t pay any attention to what was happening around me.It sounds really fun being a special like Tally.When I was reading the books it made me want to be Tally.She has been through tough times though.Specially when Zane died.Well hopefully I get to read the next book that you are writing.I can’t wait!I’m a big fan of yours!Keep up the good work!

  182. me and my friends have probably read the series a million times!!!! so so so so so so so so so so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. excited. october is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 2 long!!!!!!

    🙂 Tally says stay icy

  183. I got all the books a week ago and i read them 3 times each already…! I’m hooked. When i heard the news i was screaming and jumping up and down with my mom yelling at me to shut up. I can’t wait to get Extras!!! when i read that Zane died i literally sat on my bed and started crying…I couldn’t stop!
    But about a half-an-hour later I started to read again and finished the book. I really wish Zane would get resurrected somehow…and run away with Tally. And i think that your books should be made into a movie… I would deffinetley audition for it.

  184. will someone please tell me about speicals im dying her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT IM HAPPY THERE WILL BE A 4 BOOK I LOVE THESE BOOK SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  186. Ok, when you finally come-to and let someone make Uglies into a movie, PRETTY-PLEASE tell us ahead of time (it better be an open audition) so we can audition!!! yesh….well….um…yeah

  187. OOOOOOOOOOOOOO YA!!!!IM SOOO EXCITED!!!!IM TOTALLYYY GONNA GET IT!!!!THANKS SOOOO MUCH FOR MAKIN ANOTHER BOOK!!!!THERE SOOO GOODD!!!

  188. OMG!!!!! OMG!!!! OMG!!!
    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can’t wait!! And I’m glad; I’ve wanted to see the world from another POV, also.

  189. hey… again, anyways, I was telling my mom about the first book, The Uglies, and she thought that she had heard the story before. So she didn’t let that one go for a while, and finaly came up with what it was and showed it to me. A real old movie, old for me atleast, made in 1974 i think is what she said. Logan’s Run. When she showed it to me I was totally BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!! It was totally UNCANY! I kept meeting people and realizing who they were comapared to the books. I’d be sitting there with my mom and shout out “THAT’S DAVID!” and “THAT ON IS DR. CALBE, THAT IT!” lots of things like that. Unfortunatly my favorite charcter, David, was turned into a 70 year old! 0_o! CA-RAZINESS!!! Well watev. I thought id share that since i thought it totally neat-o

    Love ya!

  190. Scott, u just made my LIFE!!! I just have one question. I heard it was going to take place in Japan. Is that true???

  191. omgosh uglies is my favortie series i am so excited for extras and also for the MOVIE i really wish i could go on set or something just to make sure they dont mess it up

    did tally and david get back 2gether at the end of special??
    i hope so

    scott is my hero!

  192. I am so excited for extras. I just finished Pretties and I am just started Specials today!! I just bought it I had to have it. Your books are so addicting. I love them. I can’t wait for Extras I am so excited. I am going to buy it the day it comes out!! You rock Scott you understand what most people want to read!!

  193. *Dies*
    I’m re-reading the…trilogy, I suppose I can still call it, now.
    Seriously, (spoilers right up ahead, watch out) reading that Zane was taking one of the pills, but telling Tally it was going to be a bad idea…killed me.
    Though I never got that close to Zane. I’m all for David!
    Stay bubbly!

  194. OMG!!! This is totally dizzy-making! I Love these books! GENIUS! Can’t wait till it comes out!!!!!! I hope this next one is totally icy!!
    Thanks Scott!

  195. Omigosh!!! I just heard about the Extras book!!! I am so happy! This most be what bubbly feels like! lol

  197. I AM SO HAPPPPPYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing else could make my life complete !!!! i

I am sure it will be so icy! Scott, you are my HERO! How did you come up with names that good? I love the names Tally, Zane, Shay, Peris, and Croy!

  211. YAAAY!!! October is going to be the best month this year! That’s the third great piece of October news for me!
    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  212. omg so there is going to be another book out.
    im so happy
    im like obbsessed with these books.
    im love them i have just now finshed both “pretties” and “uglies”
    and it took me like 4 days in all
    i cant wait for the 4 book

  214. There is a fourth book coming out??? I had no idea! I have read all three of the books. Do you guys know anything else about it?

  215. Who do you guys think Scott should put as the main character? Someone entirely new or one of the old characters?

  217. THANK YOU!!! I love your writing and i can’t wait for more. I’m o excited i’ll be counting down the days!! And who knows my dad might get a birthday present that was intended for me!!

  219. i think you are sooooo talented for being able to write from the girls piont of view. Not many people can do that. YOU ROCK!!!

  223. YAY!♥I’ve been dying for a new one!!!!!When I read that I went around the house screaming my mom told me to shut up but I’m so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥

  226. I haven’t read Extras yet… But Zane dies?! AH, I’m going to cry. I was completely in love with him… And poor Tally! Blegh. They were the best couple I’ve read about in AGES. =/

    Maybe the Specials should be able to like, bring someone back from the dead. That would be REALLY cool. And yeah. By saying that, I’m pretty much saying bring Zane back. =(

    -Ransley

  228. I am so happy!!!! I almost felt like the trilogy had not come to an end although technically it did!! I think I’m more excited about this book coming out then getting my license!!!! I’m also excited to learn about this new character!!! Thanks Scott!!

  229. btw….. is a movie of the whole trilogy ever gonna come out?? pretty sure it will be bigger then lord of the rings!

  230. Wait, someone said something about something or another taking place in Japan. What was that? And is there going to be a movie? I can’t wait until Extras!! My friends keep yelling at me becuase I make such a fuss and say icy and bubbly. lol.

  231. i am so so so excited for Extras and i cannot wait…
    but
    i accepted the ending of Specials very much. i really loved how it wasnt totally happy and fixed. also, the ending quote fit sooo well. that was my favorite line in the whole series. putting out Extras might answer questions that were better off left unanswered.
    anyways, im sure Extras will be amazing too. im just not sure if writing it was the best choice.

  232. So sorry to get off topic, but Scott, just had to say, you are an awesome writer! I sent you an email last night, and I’m eagerly awaiting my reply…I’m the one asking you to read my story…I said that it won first place in a competition in my state…wondering if you could find time in your busy schedule to take a peek at it for me. If not, That’s quite all right!

    Always a fan,
    ~Sarah~

  235. I’m still in shock!I CAN’T WAIT TILL OCTOBER!!!
    I can hardly wait till may for the pirates of the Caribbean movie to come out and I can’t wait till June or July or August much less October!

    ♥Love you Scott♥

    ♥Lexi

  236. Will David be in this one too?
    Well I guess he is since you said Tally was and in the end of specials it said “So from now on,David and I are here to stand in your way.You see freedom has a way of destroying things.
    You have your New Smokes,your new ideas,whole new cities and new systems.Well…we’re the new Special circumstances.” So I guess that means they’re a team unless he dies{She probably won’t since shes still special}

  237. Hi! I absolutely loved the Uglies trilogy… can’t wait for the movies and Extras! I really wish Zane would’ve lived, though. I loved what happened to Dr. Cable in Specials. I knew it would, too. I loved the ending…. I cried. 🙂

    I really wish I lived in that kind of world! I’d love to be Tally or Shay! What I’d give to be “Ugly” or “Pretty” or “Special”…. I’d just love to live in the book! I’m the biggest fan…. it inspired me so much to read these books.

    If anyone wants to discuss the books with me, email me at trampolinequeen@rock.com.

    Thank you, Scott, for writing these books.

Hope she loves it!

  250. Monisha- just read the book. you don’ want anyone to spoil what happens to the lovers! :]

  251. I loved uglies and pretties! I havn’t read specials yet though and I read some of the above comments and found out about Zane! SO SAD… (even though I suspected he would). Anyway, I can’t wait to read Extras after Im done with specials! Also, can’t wait to tell my friends (who are into the series just as much as me) about Extras! I can’t wait!

  252. I just finished Specials last night and I’ve been moping about all day, sad that it is over.
    But it’s not! Yay!!!! Oh…October seems ages away now!

  254. Yay!!! Yay for a fourth book! Yay for the maybe-New-York-ness! Yay for Scott!

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

  260. i will miss zane i was rooting for him the whole time he is the best my dream guy if he was real

  261. Drear Scott,

    I am a thirteen year old girl in love with your books. Every single time I pick up one of the three uglies books, it’s as if the nanos make me keep reading. I can’t stop. I started the uglies about two weeks ago and I am on part three of the Specials. I love everything about the books. I especially liked it when Tally was in the hospital and the pings. I thought it was so funny how she talked to them. But then a couple of pages later, I turned into the opposite of happy. My heart beat raced my eyes as they read every word on the page. I couldn’t let go of the book. I decided to stop when I reached the third part and thank you before I finish the book. Thank you for writing these. When I read them, my world crashes beneath my and no one can awaken me from my book time. There is really no way that I could thank you enough for writing these. I am going to go finish reading the Specials now. You are my insparation. Thank you once again, even though I know that a couple of thank yous isn’t enough for what you wrote.

  263. LIKE holy cow i’m soooooooooo happy because when i finished the books i didn’t have anything to read because i was scared that no other books would be as good but NOW I’m going to have Extras to read in October can’t wait.
    SO EXCITED!!!!!!! =D

  264. Gimme a minute so I can dance…..

    WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you.

    *hem*

    Now we have settled that, THANK YOU SCOTT!! I was lost when the trilogy finished, knowing that there would be no more. Wondering, because this is not Tally related, is this the start of another series? Another Trilogy? Cause that would make my life very Bubbly. It is so happy-making.

    Please keep this amazing imagination of yours alive, many people appreciate the world you take us to, just by reading your words. Thank you again, Scott.

  297. I love your uglies trilogy books. it is very rare when i find a book i like. When my freind told me how great the first one was i had to get it! I LOVED IT!!! Im on the secong one now I started it today and almost ended it I couldnt put it down I loved it I cant wait to reAD THE third then the forth you should keep going if you can. I love the stories of tally and her adventure. I LOVE!!! you uglies trilogy books. not that i dont like your other books i havent read them yet b ut im sure they will be awsome so keep going.

  298. Oh thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am so bubbly!!!
    This is so happy-making!!!
    climbing to another book in this trilogy is like climbing the transmission tower in book two (pretties) thank you so much

  299. You. Are. God.
    Hah…

    But seriously now, I think Tally was great, and am sad to know that it won’t be from her view.

    A change in character will be…Well…Fun!

    Glad to see your doing more with the series. Can’t wait for the fourth installment.

    Keep up the good work writing, It must be tiring!

  302. YAY!
    I wrote Scott an e-mail ages ago about writing a fourth book(and I’m so did millions of other people), and he wrote one! YAY

    After I finished Specials I almost died! I was so angry that ZANE DIED!!! But now I think I’ll be ok!

  308. Is Zane going to come back to life? In the trick cover it made that pretty obvious. Please tell me tell me tell me! And aya is the main character??? you Should really put that on THIS page.

  309. OMG I am soooo happy althought I am kinda happy that zane is dead I really like David better!!!

  310. I had no idea that there was a movie !!!! thats so amazing!!!!

    Stay bubbily…Say icy…Stay special

  312. I LoVe TaLly…DaViD…ShAy…MaDdiE…PaRiS…ZaNe…and up coming charecters

  315. i read those books bout a yeah ago i guess and i loved them i’m excited your making another one. i can’t wait to read it

  316. I cried when Zane died…. I liked him better then David:( It probably wouldn’t have been so bad if Tally could have said goodbye… but because she was Special, she never got to see him through her “pretty” eyes again, and she still considered him inferior to her. I hate it that he had to end that way, but I am so happy about the “next” book coming up- AND THE MOVIE! I just hope the movie isn’t as disappointing as “Eragon” was… totally lame compared to the book!

  317. I TOTALLY agree with Chelsea up there. I cried when Zane died too. And what ever u do…do NOT let ur movie be more of a slide-show than a movie like Eragon….that was just kinda sad. But I thought that Specials was the end of the trilogie but, u know, I do that often. But I am siked now that “Extras” is comming out. Hmm…now what to do until October? Hmmm…..

  318. I’ve just started reading “Uglies” again to refresh my memory;) I really can’t get enough of these books! I don’t think I’ll want to read “Specials” again any time to soon… it’s left me so depressed!

  319. i loved your books i’ve just finished reading Specials and i’m hooked i can’t wait for Extras

  320. YAY YAY YAY!!!
    I was just itching for a new book. I’m sooo pumped right now. I kinda wish there were more juicy details about David and Tally, but it will be cool to see their world through some one else’s eyes.

  321. I hope that Tally and David show up in the forth book, even if it’s briefly… I kinds like those guys:) I still really miss Zane though…. oh well

  323. Ok… when I read this I was so excited and immediately started to jump up and down screaming!!!! I love all of your books Scott and I really CANNOT wait to read this one. Truthfully I was a little nervious when I first read Uglys because I thought it would be a total clique book. But then my librarian got me to read the midnighters series and I fell in love with your writing!!! So I just had to read the Ugly’s series and I loved it so much. Thank you so much for the talent that you have shown us and thank you so much for your insperation!! I absolutly love your writing and wish there was more to read. Sadly I will have to wait until October to read any new books by you. Thanks again for all of the books you have written and I hope that you are able to write many more. And before I end this LONG comment I want to repete one more time how much I absolutly LOVE your writing… keep it up!! 😉

  324. omg!! Scott I absolutely love ur books!!!and i can’t wait for this one!!It sounds great ur one of my favoritest (he he make up word) writers can’t wait for more books!!!

  325. omg i cant wait i wasnt even going to read uglies but i had to for a ficton book report and i ended up reading the whole thing before i even wrote down 1 summary so i did my report on pretties instead and i loved it i cant wait for extras to come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:]

  326. omg, this is so ttly great!!!

    I loved all of the tree books.
    Im a little upset that she isnt the main charcter but, ill get over it!

    im soo excited!

  327. Wow! I Luv that you are writing more! I loved your Uglies books. It reminds me of what the world would be if it was like SUPER Libral. Were we had surgery so we woulnd’t look bad as teenagers. And we couldn’t even think of touching a tree. But they rock. THANK YOU FOR BOOK 4!!!!

    From Kaitlyn in Conway,AR

  328. Hey! I am Kaitlyns friend! I love your books more than anyone. But i didn’t like that tally became what she hated. Oh well. I have been woundering, were is Tallys city suposed to be. Like is it in Californa or New York or were? I really want to know. Can you e-mail me the answer mr. Westerfield? Please!

    – Biggest fan Renzy .( also from conway)

  329. Hello Mr. Westerfield! I can’t belive you are making another book! I loved yur uglies books. But I have a question. Where is Tallys city suposed to be? Like in Californa or New York city or where? Please Tell me! E-mail me.

    – Biggest fan Renzy From Conway ( Kaitlyns friend)

  331. Her name is Moggle.
    And its set in Japan…or something like that.

    I am so excited about Extras!!!

    Scott Westerfeld is the most amazing writer of the century!

  332. LOL

    OMG I only read these books just this summer,but i was thinking if only he could write one more, even if it was about someone else in the same world. My wish came true!!

  333. I finally convinced my boyfriend to read the trilogy when I went out of the country, and he loved them:) Just goes to show you- these books are for all genders!

  334. OMG!!!
    im so exited!!!!
    Uglies, Pretties, Specials are my all time favorite books!!!
    Im so exited for extras! i just really hoped that the story would continue and the way the 3rd one ended…i was so hopefull. Extras better be GOOD!!! =D

  335. I was just reading what some other people wrote and i totlay agree with what some one else had wrote. Tally became the one thing she hated more than anything and so did Shay. it just really didnt seem…right. And i honestly didnt really like how you ended the whole story with a letter. I mean i wanted to learn more about David and Tally’s ending relationship. I mean she liked him alot and then just like forgot about him. And then at the end in the letter she wrote she says that her and david are going to be alon in the woods for a while. And i mean theres got to be some sparks that must of been there and being alone in the woods with would of totaly reignited some. I WANT TO KNOW!! and what was up with Tally taking orders from Shay in Specials. I always thought that Tally was the one most incharge.

    I also loved how you could totaly tell how much they have changed and grown up through the books!!!
    i really hope the next one is the story continued!!!!!!!!!

  336. hahahah its funny but i hated science fiction untill i’ve read Uglies. And i still kind of dont. Unless its written by you!! i have read 8 of your books!! there awesome! i also LOVE So Yesterday!!

  337. omg omg omg omg omg omg i totally danced around for hours when i read it i am so unbelieveably happy WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO yay!!!

  338. ok fine Tally’s not the star, but she never really “saw” Zane die, Specails never said “Zane is dead” or “Zane was dead” or “Zane had died, so even though Tally isn’t the star of Extra’s, doesn’t mean u have to leave Zane out of the story, so PLEASE DON’T he neeeeeeeeeeeeeds to be in Extras!!!!!!!

  339. oh yeah ia m so excited i love the uglies trilogy. but im sad that hey are over. but i am happy about extras how you said tally moght make a guest appearence. but i just really wish the end of specials had said something about tally & david’s ebding relationship because at the beginning of the book she was like im turning him into a bubble head haha and at the end are they dating or just friend that is what confused me.well ia mvery very happy about extras

  340. OMG OMG OMG I am WAAAYYY exited now!!!! i never would have guessed there would be another book..sorta lol i hoped it would though !!! Well I hope it is as Amazing as all your other books !!!

    sydney~~

  341. Hey Scott, I’m Leah C. I am the #1 fan for your series. In fact, I’ve been REREADING them. Yeah, that’s how much I love them. When I found out about Extras, I was totally SIKED. But to tell you the truth, when I found out that Tally was no longer the main character, I was bummed out and wondering if I’ll even like the newest edition. You see, I know you need a new fish to fry, but I’ve gotten to know Tally so much that I feel like she’s an actual person. I always love to read about Tally’s latest encounter and stuff. But I guess as long as she’s somewhat part of the newest book, Extras, I’ll be ok…just sort of bummed. Please e-mail me in your opinions to what I said!! Thank you so much for all you have done Scott!

    -Leah C

  342. im totally obsessed with the uglies, pretties and specials. but now that the extras is comming out ive already pre ordered it. im so over obsessed i think its unhealthy. i really hope tally and david do something in the extras and im still trying to get over the fact that zan-la died, considering the fact i finished specails tonight.

  343. its nicole again, its so funny because im totally in love with tally and her personality that i was thinking, if shes not the main character than do the other 3 books have anything to do with the extras? anyway these books are my life, i will end up keeping them forever and ever. i was thinking this the other day, how great would all of these books be as movies!!!!!!!!im siked for extras but im gonna miss tally, zane, david etc.

    your #1 fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go uglies series

  346. Oh, my God!!! So it true!! I was at the mall the other day (Buying books of course) when I say a pretty poster. Then I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that the poster looked a lot like the art cover of your UGLIES series. *laughs* I asked the lady at the book store to tell me if she would read to me the author of the book poster up there, then I fainted when she told me it was Scott Wester feld.

    CAN’T WAIT TO READ YOUR NEXT BOOK!!!

    -Tally (It’s my really my name.)

  347. SCOTT,
    I WAS SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT EXTRAS! I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT TO READ IT!!! I JUMPED UP AND DOWN FOREVER AND TOLD EVERYBODY IN SITE THAT SCOTT HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY SCOTT! WE LOVE YOU AND YOUR BOOKS SO MUCH! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

  349. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
    I love this series!
    I can’t wait for Extras to come out!
    Although I wish that we could know more about Tally and David, where they are, and what they’re doing. But still…AHHHHHHHHH!
    It’s gonna be so awsome!
    Scott Westerfeld is like, one of the best writers ever!
    YAY!
    (sorry, I’m a little hyper right now, I’m drinking coke!)
    lol

  351. I’M SCARED……HOLD ME!
    ONLY 8 DAYS UNTIL MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!
    JK
    DOES SCOTT ACTUALLY READ THESE?
    AND IF HE DOES…..DOES HE REPLY?
    THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SEEK THE ANSWERS TO!

  353. i was wondering if anyone downloaded the extras countdown thing. cuz i did and it wasnt working. help! i want to know exactly how long it will be until the book comes out!
    woot woot!

  354. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i am so happy after i read Extras i want more More MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    dont let me down scott add on i tell u add on

  355. WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OMG im like so totally excited like about this like new book like! This is Totally Frickin Bogus That Like Tally Like Isnt the Like Main Character Like But Its Totally Bulbby-Making That Like There Is Like Another Like Book Coming Out! This Is Like Almost Dizzy-Making!

  357. EXTRAS! 🙂
    i hope all your books turn into a movie,
    a succesful movie, like the harry
    potter books, Scott. =D

  358. aww i love the ending ! Very icy ! It made me cry but i loved it, i really love the romance in the book and how you bring about how the whole city came around. i wondr if thats how the future will be when we live on…ahha well anyways hopefully there’s more Tally, Shay, Peris, David, Maddy, and the other Cutters and Dr.Cable ! Hey keep writing and this book better be turned into a movie !!!

  360. You my gosh!!! I love Tally, she’s the best character ever. I’m sad she’s not gonna be the next main character in e\Extras. I can’t wait for it to come out !!!( By the way, if you check out images for Extras, there’s a sweet cover)

  361. OMFG!!!!!i cant belive there is going to be another book… is it going to be another trilogy…. i hope so. that would be soooo cool and icy!!! love your books…..extras! extras! extras!!!

  363. I’m reading it right now!!!! I have to admit.. I was pretty disappointed at first… it just didn’t seem as excited as Tally’s stories, but I’m in Part three now, and it’s AMAZING!

  366. I’ve read it already-a total shocker at the end. Great job Scott! Can’t wait to read more. hopefully the next one comes out by my birthday (febuary). I’m so excited!!!!!!!!

  368. if only the series would continue. Oh well. All yuor books were great you make a new series that will be good like they are.

  375. a just regestered online to this thing where it emails you every time one of westerfelds books is about to come out. you should all do it it is free. now im three quarters of the way done with the book…… yah!!!………

  379. I just finshed the book like two minutes ago…It was great he better keep the series going. Your books are awesome….

  383. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa, i was so upset when i finished the Specials… but a few days ago i walked into a book store and saw extras!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooo excited to start it!!

  385. umm…Scott…you should totally keep writing this series…Extras was amazing. You have amazing imagination! The futuristic world of the series rocks. Uglies, Pretties, and Specials were amazing and Extras wasn’t a let down…more adventures would totally rock…

  386. Will you ever make another trilogy about Tally evr again? Will you ever bring Zane back into the trilogy. NOW THAT WOULD BE THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Imagine in the next book: Zane is back!1!! Like he came back to life…. OR SOMETHING!PLEASE SCOTT I am dying for TAlly and ZAne to COme back to each other PLEASE!!! THAT COULD BE A WHOLE OTHER NEW TRILOGY!!! A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL DEFINATELY LOVE IT!!!

  388. I can’t believe it. Extras was good and left me wondering if Tally was really evil or not. (I vote no she was just protecting a friend) and if Shay would let her destroy the planet (Shay is my favorite). There NEED to be more books in the seires. I’ve read this one twice in three days. I now am having friends read the books so that I can talk to them about it.

  389. OMG!!! *does happy dance* I just finished Extras but sadly I won’t have it for a while because a friend is borrowing it then another friend has dibs THEN two more friends, *shakes head in dismay* the world of writing is such a confussleing place. Well I NEED another book to come out I really don’t think I can survive without know what happens next, so please Scott *this may sound kinda over dramatic* Please make another one!!! PLEASE!!!! *gets done on knees and begs!!!* PLEAS!!!!!!! O_o

  390. OMG i love this series there is so many questions that i still have like what about the interface rings and i want a mental image of the Pretties Town and the UGliesville. It is the best book. when tally wouldent leave Zane at the end was a sad part i feel so bad for him, lol. SHAY IS CRAZY now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  391. I loved the Uglies, series, so I’m really excited to read Specials. XD My bookclub read Uglies as our book this month, and before the next meeting I’ve finished Pretties and Specials. The ending was so sad!!

    I love Zane, so that made me really sad. But I thought that David would ‘win’ in the end…..Oh, the ending changed my mind. I found myself liking Dr. Cable 😮 TT^TT It was so sad….Next is Extras!! I can’t wait!!

    X3

    Please keep writing your wonderful books. 🙂

    ~Hammi

  392. I jaust got done with specials and i cant wait to read extras…NO ZANE IS DEAD AND TALLY IS NO LONGER THE MAIN CHRACTER!!!!!! but i guess its okay as long as she shows up somwhere..preferable soon….

  394. I walked into a book store that fateful day and I was expecting to but my regular old vampire books. But then, the amazing happened! There was a display for the Uglies Trilogy and on the fourth shelf I saw a book I’d never read before-Extras.

    And that is the story of why I am doing a book report on said book at “this moment”. Don’t tell my parents.

  396. I wish I knew if you are making a next book and I think you are . It would be really great to know the title……

  398. omg. I love the Uglies trilogy. Some of the best books I’v ever read (and trust me, I have read ALOT of books). I’m going to get my mom to drive me to the library soon so I can get Extrs. Then I’ll tell my friend who introduced me to specials 🙂 *dies of excitment*

  402. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    omgomgomgomg………
    i was wondering tho if the lead would be a girl or boy….
    but STILL CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!
    AHG

  406. i bet its gonna be like “the last days” where the main characters are different from the first books, but you still see the old characters

  407. OMG!! I need to get the Extra’s book. I saw it in a book store today, but sadly had no money. I want it in paperback anyway. (Its easier to throw when I get mad at a character)

    Your books really need to become movies. That would be bubbly!!

  411. One question that I have to ask. Did you plan on writing a new book, because all of my favourite authors who had “trilogies” and “planed five book seirse” seem to have resently releiced books and my mom said that it was because they saw it as a huge money-making opp. since JK. Rowling just finnished off her last Harry Potter book. I just want to know. I think it’s awesome that there’s a new book though. I finnished the first three each in a week, WITH a whole bunch of homework each day.

  412. i think that if you are making another book you should have tally the main charactor again becasue she is much more bubbly. i also hope that i am not the only guy into this series becasue it seems that everyone else is a girl…..

  413. I just finished Extras. i dont wanna spoil but the ending was soo (open ended?) why do u always leave me to think? i will not be able to sleep tonite..THANKS….but im glad for Tally in this book…but it was sorta a letdown. the book didnt end up as good as i would hav hoped. sorta…boring. but endin made me happy. is this it? i hope not. one more just to see if my 2 fav people get TRUELY together…

  414. I liked Extras, but it just wasn’t as good as the other 3 books. I thought the ending left to many questions unanswered. I also didn’t get why there was a different main character. I hope there is another book though because I really enjoy them.

  415. What have you done?!?!?!? It ended with specials, thats where it was supposed to end!!! The ending was good, although it left some questions, but it was enough! It would be alright if Tally was the main character in Extras…. but seriously, who is this “Aya” girl and why is she part of teh book?! We dont want new fish to fry!
    We almost don’t want to read this new one because it ruins the whole Tally theme. Next time you look for new fish, remember that sometimes the old one tastes just as good!

  416. Ummmm……. scott, are you gay??? It’s a little scary that you know so much about the emotions of girls, and how they react to differnt stuff. So, just curious….

  417. One more thing….
    Florian, are YOU gay? I sincerely hope not. Otherwise you might get a very disturbing message out of this series!
    and if you are, please put down the book and don’t go looking for more!

  418. I love the Exras book, even though I found it by mistake at a bookstore.
    I don’t think florian is gay, I just think he has too much free time on his hands to be posting so many comments…

  420. Oh my god, your books are fabulous!! Where do you come up with such great ideas? Anyway i love the series, it is wonderful. You are one of the few authors that i like, your writing style is so mindblowing and it sucks me right in. i plan to read all the books you have ever wrote, almost finished with my goal.

  421. I read the first three books and I have started the fourth, but I have to say, reading the last chapter of Specials, i knew even if there was going to be a fourth book, it would not even begin to measure up to Specials. So much is going on in that book. Although i wish things could have been better, the ending is what makes the book great. It keeps me wondering. Scott Westerfeld is genius.He has such creativity that nobody could ever come up with a story like this one.Sometimes we need to escape our world and step into someone elses.

  423. omg there’s a 4th book, i haven’t read it yet but can’t wait til i do. today i read pretties and specials and was wondering if there was another book. i love the ending of specials where david and tally were together i hope they get back together like they were in the first book.i liked zane(even tho he died) but i LOVED david. so tally isn’t one of the main character oh well as long as she is in the book. Scott Westerfeld i LOVE your writing!!!!:D

  425. OMG I JUST FINISHED THE EXTRAS AND I LOVVVVVVVED IT!!!!!! PLEASE SAY THERE WILL BE ANOTHER BOOK!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I loved the ending about Tally-wa and david!!!! i was so excited that was what i wondering the whole book! but i want to hear more! omg i really hope you make another book this is my favorite series ever i love it, all day i just read and i finished it in one day! I really hope you decide to make another book cuz i just cant get enough of this one
    -the biggest uglies triogey fan on the face of the earth!!!!!!!

  426. I also just finished “Extras” and loved it as well!!! It was amazing and I hope you write another! I have to agree with the previous post about Zane. Why did you decide to kill him off? I thought he was a wonderful character and kind of fell in love with him myself. I’m not ashamed to say I cried when he died. What was the thinking behind killing him? To make way for David?

    ~Love~
    A concerned and grateful fan

  427. Hey,
    I must also say i loved zane as well, well in the pretties i kinda didnt like him cuz he took David away from tally but then in the specials i started to LOVE ZANE
    and i cried when he died 🙁 but i still love david more and im so happy that him and tally-wa are together there just so bubbly together. Well not like bubbleheads but ya know. Please tell me there will be a 5th book because i lovee this series and it shouldnt end it!

NO!!!!! YOU HAD TO *kill* THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME BEGGIN FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!!!! WAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I must say though, u need to update your blog! I absolutly HATE people/authors who don’t update there blog! I started at #30 for Extras and went to 18 (before buying it myself… Still being shipped) and u still say that it’s going to come out soon. HELLO IT’S ALREADY OUT!!!!!
    So yeah. Rant over. FABULOUS BOOKS!!!!!
    But i am still mad we are leaving the one and only character who hasn’t either started dispiscing life, gone emo/suicidal or dies (or all of the above).
    EXTRAS BETTER be AS GOOD AS SO YESTERDAY, MIDNIGHTERS SERIES, PEEPS AND UGLIES TRILOGY!!!!!!!
    PS have you read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer? If not, u HAVE GOT TO READ IT!!!! MY all time fav book and the one that got me writing.

  444. foolio. i never new of this page…its pretty fawesome if ya ask me. EXTRAS was FAWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! much better than the other books. yepyepyep.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀

  447. Id love to read another book but I liked reading about Tally.
    I read the whole triology in 2 days but the end of Specials I read the start of Extras, I liked it if I knew what they were talking about. I had no clue whats so ever what was happening I knew their was 2 people chasing some girl down a drain and that was pretty much it. Plus I liked the way Specials could do almost what ever they want when ever they want, they were stronger faster, just funner to read about because it was so unreal.

  448. I agree Twilight was a masterpiece one of my favorite books including the Inherihance Series with Eragon except its taking much to long for them to finish either series I finish books to fast, I get so hooked I can’t stop, people wonder why I fall asleep in class. I read the Uglies triology over two days I read from 5pm to 6am then got up at 2pm and read till 1am, and I finished the whole thing, now I have to wait with is torture. Im waiting for Inherihance, and I think Setting Dawn, and now this.
    Guess I should start on something else.

  451. Awh, I really hope Extras is good.
    I was totally crying reading Specials when Zane died.
    I want Tally to be the main character again, and her and David
    to be together again.
    Ah well. :[

  452. Awh!!
    I want a cool name ^.^
    Yayyy!!!
    xD
    I really wish that this series could go on forever.
    OR at least I could write a fourth book in Tally’s view, that would be so happy-making!!
    Ooooh I’m so icy!!

    When I started reading Uglies I had a crush on a guy named David.
    Then when I read Pretties I stopped having a crush on him.
    Now I have a crush on him again. o.o And I just finished reading Specials a couple nights ago.
    When I finished I felt like writing a book myself.
    Like… REALLY REALLLY bad.
    But I couldn’t think of a theme.
    I love the future science fictiony books.. like..

    Chyeah.
    You rock, Scott.

    This is my favorite series everrr.

  454. The Extras book was AWESOME! I LOVED IT!!!!!!! I wish there were more, but anyway… It was so GOOD. Thank you Scott for making THE best series ever
