don't judge a book by it's cover . . .

[furies]

here are some links to what are apparently the new covers of the uglies trilogy by scott westerfeld. they are the UK versions, it turns out. the covers may be triggery, no joke.

uglies: this one i kind of get, in the context of the books, though it still bothers me

pretties: the cover only link isn't working

specials: book three. i can't

The first and third links require us to sign up for Good Reads. I mean, I'm not asking you to hunt down alternate versions of something you can't stand to look at, just letting you know.

because scott westerfeld is a fucking sell out?

or is that not a good enough answer?

what, I'm not bitter or anything. (seriously, have you seen the guide to the Uglies Universe he put out?)

i've seen it, but i haven't looked inside it . . . is it terrible?

damn, i was hoping it would be good. I LOVE THOSE FIRST THREE BOOKS SO MUCH.

it was, well. my best guess is that he was asked to write out some universe details for potential spec scripts and decided he might as well pick up another pay check from the book store while he was at it.

I, yeah. whatever respect I had for him as a creator after Extras (and there wasn't much left by then) went out the window when I realized what I had just spent $8 for.

at least we'll always have the trilogy, with their safe and sense-making US covers.
