While I had read shortened versions of this, the original tale of Beauty and her Beast, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and book. It was enchanting, and far different from the Disney tale. The curse makes so much more SENSE here! And I love that Beauty is not perfect, but is determined to do the best by the people who do well by her.

I can’t wait to read this again!

I'm so sad I didn't like it! :'(

I really liked the first half of this book but if someone asked me what the second half was about, I would not be able to explain it. I liked the writing style and the illustrations were really well done.

I would love to say I really like the original Story as when I was younger. But I have some real issues with the story..yhe backgroundstory of yhe fairy and the beast was utterly boring and whats with the 18th century and monkeys.....the next parts I gound disturbing were incest,grooming and so on.

Started out strong but the story wraps up halfway through and the rest of the book seems like an unnecessary add on. Still enjoyed it though
