A review by accidentalmuse
Beautiful Beautiful by Heidi Garrett
4.0
I was given an ecopy of this book as part of a blog book tour. See more at http://thebigbookreviewer.wordpress.com/
This book I think deserves a 5 stars because of the length you really get to see more of Heidi’s unique style of writing, again incorporating fairy tales into the story. And the fact that the character’s story follows what is happening through out the story being told to Mibi, though I know that’s intentional since it’s Kerrin’s who’s telling the story of her past.
Now, I have to admit, I’m a sucker for a cover, especially one with a pretty guy on the front, so before I’d read it I was thinking I’d like the book.
One thing I don’t understand is what the connection between the three pre-novellas are to the main story, since they don’t share any characters or the plot or place etc.
“Guts like jelly”, well I’ve never heard that before, quite an amusing comparison. But it all fits in with the ‘he’s a monster’ theme.
It’s quite a short story but it seemed to go on and on, I felt like I’d spent the whole day reading it. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but let’s call it good, it prolongs the story makes you feel as if you’re more part of it.
Now, I can’t really do a review without bringing up Anthony. The hot, sexy up and coming actor, who also happens to like Kerrin. She thinks this is a dream come true, but like they say if things seem to good to be true they usually aren’t. I think that goes without saying, especially when Anthony’s character develops more and more, and we see his true personality, I’m going to tell you now, it actually quite scared me. Is this dude a psycho? Yes, I think he is, I really do, or is he just angry with the world, or possessed by his own demons? Has he become the role of what he was supposed to be acting? When we pass the half way mark I didn’t really understand why Anthony started to do what he did, though that might be because of my very bad observation.
Overall, a very dramatic book with loads of different themes incorporated into a small amount of paper, I’d recommend, and if the film Demion Glass came out I’d probably recommend that too.
