Rating: - Just okay *spoilers*
I found these books to be just "okay". With the other Scott Westerfeld novels, the imagery is fascinating, his style is faultless, and the characters are very deep. The story is also very unexpected. But I dislike the story for a few reasons:
Uglies: Very gripping in the beginning, but very slow in the middle! Tally being alone in the woods, traveling towards her new home is slow-going and hard to read all the way through.

Rating: - Good series
This series is really good. I enjoyed reading it alot. It has a scifi effect too it, i never really thought i would like it but it's a super series!!

Rating: - Loved the "trilogy"
I really enjoyed reading this trilogy. If you like futuristic sci-fi/fantasy and don't mind a somewhat gimmicky, lower brow YA writing style, this is great book to look to for adventure, thrills, interesting plot mythology, very engrossing on all counts. My one criticism would be that I hated "Extras", which oddly is the 4th book in the "trilogy". I guess he's not one of those authors that can "do no wrong" but I still enjoyed the first three immensely.
Rating: - Amazing
Great series. Ignore the "young adult" label and read it. Or better yet, have everyone in the family read it.
