Scott Westerfeld is up there with Suzanne Collins as "Sci Fi futuristic dystopia authors who had Something To Say And Damn Well Dedicated Themselves To That Something."

#do not get me started on this series I have SO MUCH to say but haven't read the books in ten years so I am largely insufferable about them #phoenix talks #uglies #uglies series #scott westerfeld

Uglies was so freaking ahead of its time it's actually insane.

The Uglies Trilogy, and its messy legacy

[...]

While Uglies is a YA dystopia series with some interesting sci-fi ideas and cultural commentary, the books themselves are very sparse on anything but hoverboard action sequences in the wilderness. Each book in the trilogy winds up turning into a series of not particularly engaging action sequences rather than really developing the plot, characters, or story too much, so doing a normal plot summary doesn’t work as well for these books.

I was actually mixed on if I’d write anything up about these books at all, honestly. I enjoyed reading Uglies again with a heavy mix of nostalgia and adult appreciation for what is honestly more a morality play for teens with body dysmorphia. Book 2, Pretties, was disappointing but uninteresting. I wound up taking very few notes as I read. Book 3 though, Specials, was where I decided I had to say something. When we talk about the cultural impact of Uglies, I’m not sure there was one, but there was another kind of impact these books had on teens for sure. And that’s going to lead me right to a very strong content warning.

UGLIES features and glorifies- not fully intentionally- self-harm and cutting to a significant degree. I am going to talk about this a fair bit later on.

on the one hand i would love to see a movie/tv version of Uglies but on the other hand i don't see how it could work because "a world where everyone is pressured to look exactly the same and everyone is so ridiculously conventionally attractive that the standards of beauty are totally warped and people act like someone who looks slightly different from that standard is 'unconventional' or 'homely'" is literally just hollywood. like the whole point is that the "uglies" are regular teenagers who look like any kid you see at school, conditioned from birth to believe they're absolutely hideous but in reality they literally just look normal and WHO would hollywood cast in those roles??? some gorgeous 20something with perfect skin and hair and makeup! it wouldn't work because no one onscreen looks like a normal person!

Any Uglies fans out there?

I feel so alone on this I don’t know anyone who reads or read these books. Like where are my people. Also does David have a last name? Or shay? I read the books forever ago and can’t remember.
