A modern twist on the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale. The writing is average and the plot, romance are a bit forced to fit within the classic tale. The kidnapping is particularly problematic for me in a contemporary story. I do like its message of beauty is on the inside as well as its commentary ...
Reseña de Fantasía MágicaESTE LIBRO CONTIENE SPOILERS DE:- Nuestra señora de París / El jorobado de Notre Dame (Victor Hugo)- La Princesa Prometida (William Goldman)- Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë)(Leído en inglés).Lo bueno de empezar un libro nuevo con escepticismo es que a partir de ahí sólo se pued...
Meh. It was ok, but felt a little bit too much like the Disney version to me. I also had a hard time with how "twee" some of it was. For example Kyle/Adrian's style of speaking changing from a more "normal" teenager to a "gallant fairy tale prince," explaining it by having the character think "what ...
As a retelling this was painfully literal, so much so that I half-expected the singing household items from the Disney version to pop up. A story like Beauty & the Beast in particular has so much metaphorical potential when placed into modern-day NYC, but instead the author played it very safe. The ...
This is such a sweet Beauty and The Beast book, a modern version of it. It was written in a diary format and I love it! Although I stopped loving fairy tales years ago, this book has been a very interesting read for me. The stuff are easy to figure out and the writing is simple.

I wanted to like this more than I did.There were some interesting bits, and I liked it well enough to finish, but I spent most of the book thinking more about how I would review it, rather than getting lost in it.This is going to sound a bit stupid, but I had trouble suspending disbelief on this one...
I’ve watched the movie adaptation of this and was keen to read the book, so when I found it on sale I grabbed it! I enjoyed Beastly a lot more than the movie, and am looking forward to reading the rest of the Kendra Chronicles in due course. I think my favourite aspect is that the movie humanised Ky...
3.5 Stars. I really like this take on Beauty and the Beast. The fact that it was told from a boy's perspective was interesting. I also liked that the author did her research on the origins of the story - reading the epilogue was very cool!Intrigued to pick up her other books. I enjoyed her writing s...
