Beastly by Alex Flinn



I could not put the book down! Seriously. I lost a night's worth of sleep just trying to finish the too-good-of a story. If you're a fan of fairy tales, then this modernized version will really get you reading! Let me tell you, if you read it, you will not be able to put the thing down. Alex Flinn added her own twist to the original story, Beauty and the Beast, turning it into a sensational read! It's a book you will most likely read more than once!


Reviews from others:


"Beastly is an excellently woven tapestry of fantasy, romance, and current teen issues. Flinn deftly takes a vibrant, modern day setting and blends it flawlessly with variations of the original Beauty and the Beast story. What's created in the process is a completely unique world filled with characters you will both love and hate - but for all the right reasons. As the story progressed, I was turning pages almost faster than I could read them, and upon reaching the end I was left with a sense of both loss and hope - loss that the Beast's story was finished and hope that Flinn might offer more fairy tales in the future." — Miranda (Arlington, TX)
