So this was a fun young adult novel taking a look at the "Beast" in Beauty and the Beast. Deciding to focus on high schooler Kyle Kingsbury (the most popular guy ever) and show him over a period of two years change from self obsessed to a thoughtful and kind person works. The main reason why I gave ...

I really liked the idea of looking at the story of Beauty and the Beast from a male perspective. I always have thought of the story as more of the transformation of a man from an unkind human being to one who understands and appreciates the world around him, especially with iterations such as the Di...

I didn't realize this was a book like beauty and the beast. I absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed how the author incorporated a "chat room" page into the book. I thought that was a really neat idea. It was very well written and I will definetly be buying my own copy for my collection!

I think the very reason that this book worked for me was that, I haven’t read a lot of books about Beauty and the Beast. This book isn’t really exceptional, maybe back 2007 when it was published yes, but now a day I think not. Despite that I still enjoyed this book. I liked the author’s writing. S...

Okay...let's do this. I give this book a star for one thing. The story concept. I was a huge fan of Beauty and The Beast growing up, like literally, that movie was life for me back then, so naturally I love the concept of modernizing the story. Unfortunately, the TV show, the film based of...

I have been wanting to read this for a little while now. I adored Beastly (and several of Alex’s other works) and the idea of re-reading Beastly from Lindy’s perspective was hype enough to make me want to read it. And I wasn’t disappointed. This little novella is exactly what it’s advertised as, a r...

Beastly is a heartwarming, wonderfully retold version of Beauty and the Beast. It is a very delightful read, with the chat sessions, the modern-day setting, the wide range of emotions, lots of references to classics, and tons of roses. It is just perfect. I expected a fairy tale retold, I’m not disa...

I initially placed this book on my To-Read shelf on a bit of a whim - the summary hadn't exactly won me over, and some of the reviews were none too forgiving. However, I figured that I needed to broaden my horizons and give it a try, instead of trying to judge a book by its cover. So here I am, 24...

Un romanzo molto leggero e semplice, ove le emozioni vengono descritte da un unico punto di vista, quello della bestia. Una rivisitazione in chiave moderna di una delle favole più belle della storia. Una favola che ci insegna sin da piccoli che l'amore è purezza e bellezza interiore e che la bellezz...
