![]() ![]() I understood the main character’s vanity and overall ugly personality but it was too much for my liking. The book was a fairly easy read and written for a young teen audience so it was quick to get through which I enjoyed considering some of the books I read are 400+ pages. ![]() When chance brings him a girl that he essentially keeps as a prisoner, he begins to fall in love with her and must find a way to make her fall in love with him. There Kyle spends an exorbitant amount of time feeling bad for himself and giving very little effort towards breaking the spell. His also self-absorbed father banishes him to live away from his home with a maid and blind tutor. ![]() Kyle is the picture-perfect rich kid who is cursed by a witch to live ugly (beastly) until he can break the spell. In this case, the beast is a teenage boy, Kyle, who is so self-absorbed it was difficult at times to get past his droning inner monologues. The premise is an adaptation of the classic Beauty and the Beast tale but with a modern twist and from the perspective of the beast himself. I rarely say this when it comes to movies based on books, even if it’s “loosely” based, but I enjoyed the movie more. I have to admit I’ve had Beastly by Alex Flinn on my bookcase for several years now, but I finally got around to reading it last year. ![]() Of course, when I found out it was a book and part of a series, I wanted to read it. Back when I saw the movie Beastly with Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgins I didn’t realize it was a book. ![]()
