It amazes me how many young girls, in high school or for their graduation gift receive cosmetic surgeries. Sad commentary on our society.

Westerfeld has a great way with the unexpected, and although I think this premise has been done elsewhere, his take on it is original and definitely cool.<BR/> One of the issues I personally have always had with the concept of beauty is whether it's better to have the attitude that looks don't matter,or "everyone is beautiful (in their own way)." Should we disregard beauty completely, or create a broader definition of it? I seem to be more inclined towards the latter, since I don't think we ever can get away from noticing how people look.Kimberly B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06915078905615036882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923550323713912331.post-79172480091960272012007-12-03T13:18:00.000-05:002007-12-03T13:18:00.000-05:00I would really love to read this series..

Celebrities are scrutinized from their wrinkles to their cellulite to how skinny or fat they are. When Britney Spears performed for a show on TV, she wore an outfit that she thought she looked good in being that she's only about 130 pounds. After a bad performance, we all heard about how ''fat'' she looked, not about how she lip synched or how she looked drugged out. It was all about how disgusting and fat she was. I don't know what world we are living in when 130 pounds is fat. Children are developing eating disorders at a very young age because of the pressure to look good. I think Scott Westerfeld's books are a genious idea and I hope they help society realize how crazy and ludacrious they are for thinking plastic surgery and eating disorders are the answer to everything. I've never read Scott's books yet but I know what they're about. The idea of everyone needing plastic surgery after a certain age as a kid to fit in is interesting and just plays on how crazy our world is. I look foward to reading these books and I hope people can look past pretty and ugly and see what's inside because that is what counts.Enchanted by Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939494712100587128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923550323713912331.post-71005974440989632252007-11-30T20:25:00.000-05:002007-11-30T20:25:00.000-05:00Hi!

There is some kissing and hand-holding, no sex, very light swearing (damn and hell, possibly 3 times in the entire series), some mild violence (explosions, guns, nothing gory). Great sci-fi series for any teenager, YA, or even those not-so-Y adults. :)<BR/><BR/>sue a. - It's a wonderful series. And Scott is an amazing speaker, as well as a terrific writer.
