well clearly start Uglies first ;) (of the books that is) No point jumping in half way :)

Let me know what you think of "Uglies" etc. I saw them in a bookstore and they looked really interesting.

Cheshirenoir has read all four in a week. He usually takes a week to read a novel. He declared after about half way into book two that we will own copies of these books. And wants me to hurry up and read them so he can talk to me about them properly!

Many, many people are describing it as some of the best SF to come out in recent years.

Cory Doctorow has been pimping it heavily on Boing Boing.

John Scalazi really enjoyed it too! (More here (http://girliejones.livejournal.com/923766.html) thanks girliejones )

I have become increasingly disenchanted with SF recently. Thankfully Stross, Doctorow and Westerfeld have really restored my faith.

That is a really great recommendation! I look forward to reading them!

Me too please! My little sister gave me the first one to read last year sometime and I still haven't gotten to it.
