{My thoughts} – I am beginning to really love the ways in which this series of books is written. It allows you to have the perspective of both characters before, during and after their lives are merged together.
In this book we have Beauty a girl that isn’t well what one would actually define as beautiful, rather she is more plain and ordinary. And then you have the Beast. He is Prince Riley and he isn’t much of a looker either. However, the two of them do in deed fall for one another and in doing so come up with a plan in which they will attempt to over throw the witch that had cursed him and his family.
I really enjoyed reading this story as it was a eye opening kind of story. You get to meet many characters throughout the book and they come back in the end and it’s like that was that person type thing. The story is nicely woven together and it is in it’s own a brilliantly retold classic.
I recommend this book for any child that enjoys fairytales. I strongly believe that they will enjoy reading about Rapunzel and the Prince. It’s a well written retelling that doesn’t take much time at all to read through. I look forward to reading the rest of the series in the future.

When I started reading this, I gave up twice, but then I pushed through the first 3 chapters and IT WAS AMAZING!! I love the "fractured fairytales" and I wish the waiting lists for the other two weren't so long at the library!

It was okay. An easy read, just not a favorite. Several parts felt pointless, just filler, as the actual retelling was interesting. Another part that bothered was the age of the characters (yes, it’s more true to the original, but who really believes thirteen year olds will fall in true love?). Overall, just alright.

I loved it its a new take on the story. Sure it's the same story line. Girl falls in love with a boy turned beast by a witch. But it's today's time. In a way. Good book

Beauty and the Beast didnt meet until the book was 3/4 done, but it was a fun interpretation.

Ok and fast. Parts that could have been explored further. Interesting concepts not used.
