New Book Covers - Uglies

Many of you have probably read the Uglies series by Scott Westerfield. I personally loved the books. This coming May, Simon & Schuster will re-release them with a noticeable difference. They are giving the covers a make over. I liked the covers to begin with but I see why they are giving them a new look. Here are the before and afters of the books.

You can pre-order the new versions of the books here, here and here.
So tell me in the comments what you think of the new covers. Do you like the before or afters?
