Re: 55
The biggest problem that I have with the Uglies series is that I can't stand the main character - I just don't like Tally enough to read a book about her. Unfortunately, I feel the same way about Jessica (who is the main protagonist in the Midnighters books), but I like her supporting cast more than I liked the supporting cast of Uglies.
Honestly, though, the books fit together as a trilogy really well; they build on one another nicely, and in the first book the things that are just-plain-weird about the universe seem to be more location-specific. And it involves a lot of wordplay that I enjoy. It's kind of an epic battle between good and evil - cliched but well-done anyway.
:3 It's a good series, regardless.
As for So Yesterday that one is in kind of a future society, but it's a very close future, and it's a fantastic one-shot. The idea that drives the plot is grounded in some stuff that, you know, actually happens, which is pretty rockin'. I don't know that I can reveal much more about So Yesterday without giving you a back-cover blurb type sum-up; it's about a group of kids paid to tell everybody else what's cool. On the one hand, that could be totally lame, but Westerfeld pulls it off nicely. It's more about social constructs and corporate espionage than fashion. Which, well, I like.
Re: 55
Even if the characters aren't that great I like getting angry at them sometimes xD I am not a big fan of Tally either ( I ended up hating Shay a lot more throughout the series in general, but it was a roller coaster of emotion with her. Loved her-Hated her-loved-hated-loved. Hardly ever between ). I guess I liked the extras book, but it confused me to start. Because it starts in an Asian culture, instead of some strange form of America. But I digress.
I'll try reading them if I get a chance to go out and buy them xD Thanks for the intro to the books! :D
