Bogus to Bubbly: An Insider's Guide to the World of Uglies
Bogus to Bubbly An Insider's Guide to the World of Uglies
Author: Scott Westerfeld, Craig Phillips (Illustrator)
THE WORLD OF UGLIES, SET IN OUR NOT-SO-DISTANT FUTURE, is a complex place filled with bubbly technology and lingo, yet bogus rules about status and appearance. That's why a guide to the world of uglies has been requisitioned from the hole in the wall. Inside you'll find: —
  • A rundown on all the cliques, from Crims and Cutter...  more »
  • The complete history, starting with the destruction of the oil bug to the launch of Extras in space
  • How all those awesome gadgets came to be: hoverboards, eyescreens, skintennas, sneak suits...


PLUS an exclusive look at Scott Westerfeld's first draft of Extras -- starring Hiro, not Aya.

And so much more, it's mind-wrecking.

This book was an awesome. This really helped me understand the world of Uglies a lot better. I would read this book before the rest of the trilogy. It gives you a lot of insight and diagrams of how things really look and what they are. When I was reading the Uglies trilogy, I had a hard time understanding what they were saying. This is like a pocket dictionary to the Uglies world...it is very useful and you wont waste your money when buying it.

This is only interesting if you read and liked the Uglies series. I did and did and enjoyed this a lot. It puts everything together: history of the Rusties and Pretty-time, character profiles, technology explanations, etc.
