I was introduced to Scott Westerfeld’s work by Jack Haringa. I am glad he did. And I’m glad I took his advice and picked up Westerfeld’s books. Most of the time when people recommend books to me I respond politely that I will check so-and-so author out and smile all the while not having any inkling to actually pick up the recommended book. Most books people recommend are crap (My recommendations aside, they are always on the money).
But Jack’s advice panned out. I have included four quick reviews of Scott Westerfeld’s books; Uglies, Pretties, Peeps, and The Last Days. All excellent books. I have also read of his The Midnighter Series, and the penultimate book in the Uglies Series, Specials, and I will be reading the final book in that series, Extras, soon.
