Book Reviews of Beastly
Book Review: A Beastly Review
Summary: 2 Stars
The modern day Beauty & the Beast story, Beastly, didn't quite quench my thirst for a good read.
Kyle is a spoiled brat in modern day America who is turned into a monster by a witch. The storyline is how Kyle has to go looking for the one girl who truly loves him and sees beyond his ugliness, before he is turned into a monster forever. However, in between him becoming a monster and finding the girl, he becomes a grumpy hermit who lives by himself with the exception of a blind teacher and a maid
For me, the story jumped around to much and was way out there. The author chooses to make the setting more modern, which is a great idea, but I think it would have been better as a more believable version of the classic fairytale.
Although the story did have it's good points I didn't feel it had enough to offer as far as fantasy fiction goes.
