This and a bellowing, roaring, rumbling voice made up my first impression of the notorious Professor Challenger. A huge spread of shoulders and a chest like a barrel were the other parts of him which appeared above the table, save for two enormous hands covered with long black hair. The eyes were blue-grey under great black tufts, very clear, very critical, and very masterful. He had the face and beard, which I associate with an Assyrian bull the former florid, the latter so black as almost to have suspicion of blue, spade-shaped and rippling down in front in a long, curving wisp over his massive forehead. I am sure that his top hat, had I ventured to don it, would have slipped over me entirely and rested on my shoulders. His head was enormous, the largest I have ever seen upon a human being. Challenger, who, being satisfied that no criticism or comment in this book is meant in an offensive spirit, has guaranteed that he will place no impediment to its publication and circulation. It was his size, which took one's breath away-his size and his imposing presence. Malone desires to state that both the injunction for restraint and the libel action have been withdrawn unreservedly by Professor G.E. I was prepared for something strange, but not for so overpowering a personality as this. The best way to describe the formidable George Edward Challenger is in Conan Doyle's own words, through the eyes of the young journalist Ed Malone of The Daily Gazette, when he first met him.

I fell in love with this series, you might not feel the same way, but that’s fine. I’ll take any disagreement as a sign that we’re not brainwashed and who could be mad about that? A friend checked it out from the school library and said she liked it so each time she finished a book she gave it to me so I could read it. I’m just glad that I read these pre-Goodreads because I had no expectations. Some people just didn’t get into these books or felt that it didn’t live up to the hype, that’s fine. If you’re looking for someone to cast as either Shay or Tally I 1200% volunteer!) This series is seriously one of my top favorites! I still cannot believe that they haven’t turned them into movies yet. *This post contains 4 separate reviews (Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras) for the series so scroll with caution* YA Fiction | Sci-Fi | Dystopian |
