Book Reviews of The Rose: A Novel Based on Beauty and the Beast (Once Upon a Dream)
Book Review: The Disney version...in paperback.
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe if I had read this book ten years ago I would have been more inclined to like it.
It seriously plays out exactly like the Disney version, minus the enchanted objects and songs, which would have helped me enjoy the book more.
There are a couple of instances where the dialogue in the book is nearly the same as it is in the Disney movie.
The only major plot change it the era during which the story takes place. It was nice that Jennifer Baker tried to modernize it. However, it's probably time to come out with a second edition or something. The book was written in 1996, yet she doesn't even mention the Internet. The Beast clearly could have been IMing away his sorrows via AOL 3.0.
