So there’s some mutterings around these parts of doing a sort of Guide to the Uglies Universe. You know what I mean: one of those books full of background data about the people, places, and gadgets of Tally’s world, maybe containing a few diagrams, glossaries, and maps for your fannish perusal.
Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi’s Spiderwick Chronicles has the wonderful and richly illustrated Field Guide. Erin Hunter’s Warriors books have a similar companion work, though with more text than pictures.
So what would you guys want in a guide to the Uglyverse? What questions remain unanswered? What background info do you demand?
Here is your chance to ask questions and to list obscure gadgets, slang, places, and characters that you want to know more about.
Warning: Lame cover mocked up by me. Not in any way real (yet).
History of the Pretty, and Special Operations, more about the Rusty collapse, Dr, Cable and when and where are the books!
I would like to know mainly about the Skintenna and the eyescreen. I think it was pretty bogus not to add how they worked in Bogus to Bubbly: An Insider’s Guide to the World of Uglies. I wouldn’t mind a map and can’t wait until the movie comes out later in 2010. I hope it is like the book .Anyways, I really liked the book. I felt totally bubbly throughout Specials, making me come back for more. I thought that number four was okay, but needed improvement. Would you also consider telling how the Pretty/Special operation is done? I agree with Margy-no-chan. (Don’t ask about the no-chan part. It’s a Japanese title) It would be happy-making if you made a final book about what happened after the whole Extra thing. What happened between David and Tally at the end? The thought is soo dizzy-making. I guess I’ll never know unless you write another book.
Thanks again,
Anna-wa

Hey du wircklich interessanten Weblog betreibst du. Ich selber hab auch vor kurzem eine eigene Webseite gebastelt, eine Suchmaschiene. Momentan noch erreichbar unter http://beta.jerome.de . Währe toll wenn du mir berichtest was du von ihr hälst bzw. was noch verbesserbar daran ist. Ein Redesign kommt erst im laufe des Tages noch hinzu. Vielen Dank – 345zhf4
Definitely like, a thing telling about whatever happened to the characters in the end, orrr, you could just write another book(; whichever works…haha. Also a guide about the flash tattoos, and…well… i guess an explanation of how the pretty surgery came to be. And i also agree with the other few comments ahead of me…sooo..yaa. BUT i REAAALLYYY wanna know what happens to tally, david, and shay…:P
Ok so, my teacher recommended me to these AMAZING books! The books have really changed me (the way I look, think, and react). I <3 these books! and at the end of each book, I cried because I knew that it meant I was one step closer to the worst thing in the world! THE END OF THE SERIES! WHY? I cried for an hour, I wish you (Scott Westerfield) would write MORE books! And MOVIES! Please! 🙂 I wish THAT YOU WOULD WRITE MORE!
Also, I want TALLY back!!! I mean I love Aya-chan and all but seriously, What happened to Tally-wa? I miss Zane-la and was sad when they kissed that last time! I feel bad for Maddy for Az’s death. 🙁 But I want to know more like, what’s up with Shay’s life, David’s, Fausto’s,& Peris’! At the beginning of the whole series I thought that when Tally-wa turned pretty she and Peris would fall in LOVE! I miss these books please write more, make movies please! I beg you!
Sorry I spelled you name wrong! Your my favorite author!
I want a story with everyone again!
Yes, as nick said that he best performers can only have survived, by definition. Had they looked at the worst performers, then the results would have most probably included survivorship bias
Hello, really nice article!
Great info. They must be something best. Thanks
Helpful blog. Totally agree with you.
Such a helpful view. He should receive credit for it. Thanks
umm i would like a map and maybe sketches oh all the characters as uglies then as pretties.
My story of how David got his scar was that.. ok I wrote a story as a continuation of Extras, and they find out what happened about his scar. So in the story they find something called smart mechanics that lets you change it into anything you want. But it can only be used once. If it’s used twice, it kills everyone within a kilometer. But, it gets weaker the more it’s used. So, David and his friends were ot (in the Smoke, of course) and they came across some smart mechanics, and changed it into a blender. It had already been used 4 times, so it exploded and David got cut by a screw. Not very fantabulous, but that’s my idea.
I think im a mixture of Tally. Im so ugly and have low confidence but no guys like me, even when she has two guys after her…Help?
I know im pathetic and sad. But this book i cried over ( im also REALLY emotional) Ppl all the time say im pretty. Tally is so lucky i wish she and Peris hooked up tho. They would be so cute! but David and Shay…and then Zane Died 🙁 Noooooooo.
Peris was a wimp though
Hmm Well I was just searching on yahoo and just came across your site, mostly I just only visit websites and retrieve my required info but this time the useful information that you posted in this post urged me to post here and appreciate your diligent work. I just bookmarked your site. Thank you again.
certainly like your web-site but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to tell the reality however I will surely come back again.
Great blog! Sorry to change the subject, but, I’m new to town and I’m looking for a great Nashville auto repair company,so I can get my oil changed. Have you heard of any good ones?

Here’s the address of this new Nashville Auto Repair, Veterans Auto Services 2404 Cruzen St Nashville, TN 37211 (615) 712-9777. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
