4th cover: After the cult series Uglies, this indispensable guide will reveal to Scott Westerfeld, among others: the secrets of Pretties, Specials, Extras and their bands, all ultra-sophisticated accessories Tally and her friends and the history of their world and the strange disease oil that devastated humanity.It's been a while since I finished the Uglies saga and this book is in my PAL: it was time for me to read!
As its title suggests, through this book, Scott Westerfeld reveals all the secrets of his saga. He answers to frequently asked questions from his fans and develops all concepts of the series.
I was fairly skeptical, but finally I read in one sitting. It is rather short, interesting and illustrated by numerous sketches. The author begins by answering the question most asked by readers to know his source of inspiration. In this book, Scott Westerfeld speaks directly to readers, it's very nice and his many jokes made me laugh a lot.
The four volumes we are summaries and maps help us visualize the scene of the action. The story is set in a futuristic universe, so the use and operation of the gadgets we have explained. We discover with astonishment that some already exist!
A parallel between our company and the book is outlined throughout the guide. Uglies saga could indeed be a warning to our generation ...
One of my favorite chapters is one that addresses the theories of beauty. The author has indeed inspired by existing theories for the series as the golden ratio, symmetry, neoteny ...
I knew some but I found it very interesting. A passage
unpublished novel is offered to us and the guide concludes with a glossary.
I found this very interesting guide, it will appeal to fans of the series and perhaps to those who want to discover the author!
