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.

If you liked the Uglies trilogy, you'll like this book. I loved it, not because it's so super-fantastic, but because it brought me back to the world of the Uglies, and it was nice to revisit with "new" material. I appreciate Scott Westerfeld's tone, which is conversational without being condescending, as well as the range of topics covered here -- from the science of beauty to a hoverboard instruction manual. Also included are neat little tidbits that Scott was probably just bursting to tell people, like how many times the phrase, "I love you," is said in the series (only twice) or that each book ends with the word that is the name for the subsequent book. Well, now he got his chance, and I'm glad he did.

A good companion to the series. Though it just makes me depressed that hoverboards don't actually exist yet!

The author explains most of his thought processes within the books. That includes how he came up with the names of the characters, different technologies, etc. He also explains the science behind everything. It showed me that the author was a really intelligent guy. I really appreciated this book.
