I'm not saying this was a bad book but I couldn't finish it.
IT WAS SOOOOOOO SLOW! I didn't see the point in many aspects of what the author put in the story which caused the story to DRAG!
I am still hoping to try again maybe in the future but for now it's on my DNF list cause I couldn't get through it and I was almost half way through!
Oh and Beauty can stop letting the reader know how "unpretty" she was, we got the first 100 times you let us know.

I enjoyed the first like two thirds of this book--the stuff with Beauty and her family is lovely and charming, and then she gets to the castle and it's so... dull? the Beast has zero personality and I don't really get why she falls in love with him. also I think the ending is too hasty and not very satisfying. would have loved to see a bit more conflict/resolution between Beauty and Beast.
glad I finally read this classic but I don't think it's one I'll come back to.

This was one of my favorites when I was a teenager. Rereading was very nostalgic.
I really enjoyed this book! I love McKinley's writing and it was wonderful getting a retelling of it! I would definitely recommend this book! I know we all know the story, but it's nice to hear it again in a different voice!

This is a sweet story following the same vein of Beauty and the Beast with some twists and differences. I kept waiting for more of a conflict to happen, but even with the absence of suspense, it’s such an enjoyable story!
