lunar3of5 's review for:

Beastly by Alex Flinn
3.0

I'm torn on this rating, so 3 1/2 stars would fit better. There were some unnecessarily crude parts at the beginning of this story, but the book was unique enough to keep me reading and in the end I liked the overall story and message.
I like how the author made it into a modern-day version of Beauty and the Beast. The Beast is a rich, good looking teenage boy who's castle is a Brooklyn Brownstone. Beauty's father is a drug dealer and thief who gives her away in exchange for his own freedom.
I would recommend it for older teens because of the unfortunate 'teen' stuff that was in the beginning.
