I super love this book! Since, I've watched the movie, I've been too in-love with its story! It's a modern day story of Beauty and The Beast. And it gives you the lesson that you shouldn't judge a person by his/her looks. I know this lesson is super old and pretty much everyone may know it, but let's face it, not everyone believes in this, they still hate or don't like a person because they're ugly, poor and everything. And once you've read this book, you'll realize everything. Maybe most people knows the story of Beauty and the Beast and maybe watched it too, but believe me, you'll fall in-love with the story all over again. And HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone to read it and watch the movie too!! :))
I didn't think I would like this but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a fun modern retelling of beauty and the beast.
I would've like this book if the characters aren't so young. I've watched the movie. Somehow the movie makes more sense than the book (even though Vanessa Hudgens plays Lindy). I like Kyle Kingsbury's character in the book more than the movie, though. A lot more dimension to his character in the book.
I fell asleep at some part of the book. I feel like puking at some of the dialogues. It's a young adult fiction, so I thought it should be more... I don't know... more fun, less gag?
But having said all that, I love Kendra the witch's character, both in the movie and the book. She sure kicks ass.
Beauty and The Beast is one of my favourite fairy tales and so when I heard of this modren retelling I was very keen on reading it and you know what I really enjoyed it. It was a nice,short and cute retelling of this timeless classic and I think Alex Finn does an excellent job of trying to moderenize this classic fairytale.
