Beastly

Beastly by Alex Flinn

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I thought I'd better read this before the movie came out. It was an interesting take on the Beauty and the Beast story. Looking at the movie trailers, it looks like the movie "beast" is little more like a guy with a lot of tattoo-like things on his body rather than the hairy beast he is in the book. The author stays closer to the fairy tale, but the contemporary setting makes it one that will appeal to most middle school readers, boys and girls. With the movie coming out, many students will be asking for this book.
