HAHA Don't be sorry! I found Pretties to be hard to get thru too, especially the first half, I just wanted to duct tape their mouths until they learned proper words HAHA. Of the four, Uglies was definitely the best, BUT I do think Specials was better than Pretties. Extras is kind of strange because its something like 4 years after Specials ends I think, and its a different main character and stuff. I dunno, if you really don't think going on would be entertaining I'd say stop there and bask in the glory of Uglies. Specials is where a lot of the action is resolved, but for me Tally's character was never what she was in Uglies so if you are hoping that she will get back to how she was in Uglies you might be disappointed.

Yeah definitely! It took me quite a while to read actually, I know the prettiest are supposed to be annoying, but I kind of found it annoying to read if that makes sense? Haha, well i'm going to give specials a go, but this is definitely a case of the author writing too many books! Lol. Uglies was sooooo good! Bah humbug!

It makes perfect sense, it was really annoying to read for me as well.

I say give Extras a go too, Tally shows up about halfway to maybe 3/4th of the way through, even though she's not the main character.

The series as a whole made me happy though. It's been so long since I read them...

Originally the title of this was ‘The Omega Man’; filmed as ‘The Last Man On Earth’ starring Vincent Price in 1964, as ‘The Omega Man’ starring Charlton Heston in 1971, and as ‘I Am Legend’ starring Will Smith in 2007. Richard Matheson was more known for his screenplays, being one of the more literate SF screenwriters (see "The Incredible Shrinking Man" where Matheson wrote the novel and then the screenplay). It was his breakout work, and he has since written numerous movie screenplays plus countless TV episodes, including 16 episodes of the original Twilight Zone series.

I just can't get into it, and I have other books I'd like to read but my friend loaned it to me and I feel like I have to get through this before I try to read anything else... and I can't get thru this so I haven't read anything in like two weeks! hehe ugh I'm going to have to pick it up and try again.
