My daughter -- an incurable romantic -- asked for ths book for her birthday. It arrived promptly & in good condition, & she immediately read it through twice ! & this was at a very busy time of year! so I picked it up to see how it was -- & couldn't put it down. As daughter says, it's "WAY better than the movie" (sorry, Disney). The characters have quirks & minor imperfections just like anyone, & circumstances don't always go just as wished or planned -- so the book seems very realistic. This re-telling of the old story can be enjoyed, & viewed, on several levels; I think it'd make a good choice for a book club to discuss, or even for an English Lit class to analyse. But make sure you don't have anything in the oven that you don't want burnt ! It's a real page-turner !
I lost my first copy when I moved and was determined to replace it. I’m so happy I found another exact copy for a great price in such great condition!

I bought this book because i never realized when i was younger that Beauty and the beast was a love story, i just thought it was a fun little disney movie that deals with magic and enchantments, but its a beautiful love story, and even thought you know whats going to happen in the end, it still twists and turns you through every obstical she (beauty) goes through. you cant help but to breath harder and read faster when her panic rises, its so beautiful
I read this book a couple of years ago, and I just loved it. I finally decided to buy it because it was such a terrific book that I wanted to own it. This book is a wonderful retelling of the story Beauty and the Beast because it emphasizes one's inner beauty. This is an excellent novel and I recommend it for anyone, especially young women.
This book was a unique tale of beauty and the beast. Different from the movie and for all ages. A realistic way of magic. A fantastic book.
