Beastly

I super love this book! Since, I've watched the movie, I've been too in-love with its story! It's a modern day story of Beauty and The Beast. And it gives you the lesson that you shouldn't judge a person by his/her looks. I know this lesson is super old and pretty much everyone may know it, but let's face it, not everyone believes in this, they still hate or don't like a person because they're ugly, poor and everything. And once you've read this book, you'll realize everything. Maybe most people knows the story of Beauty and the Beast and maybe watched it too, but believe me, you'll fall in-love with the story all over again. And HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone to read it and watch the movie too!! :))

I would've like this book if the characters aren't so young. I've watched the movie. Somehow the movie makes more sense than the book (even though Vanessa Hudgens plays Lindy). I like Kyle Kingsbury's character in the book more than the movie, though. A lot more dimension to his character in the book.

I fell asleep at some part of the book. I feel like puking at some of the dialogues. It's a young adult fiction, so I thought it should be more... I don't know... more fun, less gag?

But having said all that, I love Kendra the witch's character, both in the movie and the book. She sure kicks ass.

so a few weeks ago I watched the movie version of this book and that in turn made me curious about the book. I actually adored this book. Given that it had it's total cheesy moments, it was still a lovely little, quick read. There are some changes with characters, but that's to be expected when dealing with a “novel-to-film” work. There were moments in this story when I just wanted to snuggle the characters with love. My only thing with this book (and it's not major or anything) is the “chat room” experience. I've seen some reviews saying that they don't like it, or that it's distracting and whatnot, but I actually became more curious as to the whereabouts of those characters once the story was over. I'm still trying to find out who the bear was though. And what happened to the mermaid (Ariel)? Is her story based on the original book where she turns to foam (I know it's mentioned, but did it HAPPEN?) or was she able to swoon her prince in the last minute and have happily ever after (like in the animated film - though I seriously doubt it). Cute, modern day twist on one of my favorite Disney movies. I will be continuing the story.
