Beastly by Alex Flinn

If you saw the movie, read the book. If you haven't seen the movie, its not worth it. The book is much better. A nice adaptation to the classic tale. Handsome, vain, mean boy turned literally into the beast he is. True love's kiss breaks the spell. Any one who knows the story of Beauty and the Beast, will easily pick out the similarities in this tale. Likeable characters, even a nod to other fairy tales in the chat room, which I loved. The only thing that seemed to irk me about this story was how he gets his beauty, a little disturbing for me. I wanted a bit more insight in the characters, especially the main two. Felt it could have had more, but it still is worth reading.
