Well... all i can say is i got the first book - UGLIES - and just couldn't go beyond like the 4th chapter.
Not because it was nessecarily BAD, per se..., so much as just somewhat bland-ish..., a bit boring... I can see if i had come across it when i was 15, 16, 17.... it would have been much more engaging.....

But i need something a bit more.... literary-ly rich(?).. sophisticated (?)... i don't know it just bored me.... Or maybe it was the youthful cluelessness of the characters that i found so snooze inducing....

In any case... i may go back to it... i can't find anything to catch my literary eye.....
