I loved this book because it was historical fiction and a retelling of beauty and the beast which I loved the disney version also i Gould it quick placed and everyone I wanted to put it down to do something else I would be engulfed in the storyline again
This is one of my favorite retellings of "Beauty and the Beast." It follows the outline of the traditional fairytale, but from Beauty's point of view. I love her interactions with the Beast. Excellent book, highly recommended!
One of my favorite retelling stories. The retelling genre is a lot more abundant than you'd think, and this is one of my favorites. =)

A classic that I first read as a young teenager that still holds up to this day!
Really enjoyed this, but I thought the ending was quite abrupt.
The ending was so rushed which sucks since the rest of the book is very enjoyable.
Robin McKinley's version of the Beauty & the Beast tale is richly detailed, with a strong, smart heroine and interesting supporting characters. The world of Beast's castle is mysterious and strangely beautiful. This book is a delight to read, and a great introduction to Robin McKinley's work.
