Summary: 5 Stars
Robin McKinley never fails to capture the heart and mind of her readers. Her story ofBeauty is no exception. Writen before the movies became popular, this is the original story of Beauty and the Beast. It is detailed and descriptive enought for an adult to believe in it, yet simple enough for a child to love its fairy-tale quality. A book to be passed on and shared with friendsBook Review: It's the best of the best of fantasy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of the best I've ever read. It's full of suspense, mystery, romance, and very believable characters. The story comes alive in new and exciting ways that I've never seen before. I've read it three times so far and will read it again and again in the future. If you have any interest in fairy tales, read this book! It's the best of the best. McKinley's other books are of the highest quality also and I recommend anyone who likes believable fantasy to read this and all of her other booksBook Review: Wonderful! I've loved it for years!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was told by a friend to read this book about 15 years
ago... Since then, I re-read it about once a year. It
is my absolute favorite rendition of the Beauty and the
Beast fairy tale. The people are more alive, the story
more touching and realistic than any other version I have
encountered.
