I'm a huge Beauty and the beast fan and I've read probably 10 different versions. This one had some great back story on the Beast when he was human and how he became cursed. But once he was cursed the wonderful character development just ended. It jumped from him changing to the fight with Gaston and the end. I was hoping for his side of the story, including how he fell in love with Belle. This didn't have any of that, which was very disappointing for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Doesn't Do Justice to the Original Masterpiece *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018* After having read the one about the Evil Queen from Snow White, I had such high hopes for this book but was truthfully more than a little disappointed. I enjoyed the majority of the backstory given on the Beast, especially the segments regarding his former love and how his gradual transformation effected their relationship. It was interesting to see the contrast between this girl's character compared to what we know of Belle, but unfortunately, the story itself barely shows this contrast as Belle is hardly an active part of the story. The ending covered much of the events of the film but they were so rushed, and all seen from the perspective of three eavesdropping witches which were another issue I had with this story. Circe, the original enchantress, was a great character who I really enjoyed but her three meddling sisters were quite frankly just annoying. They reminded me of the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus except far less loveable. Plus, their presence pretty much took all of the meaning out of the story's character development. Instead of things happening due to the characters' own agency, these witches acted more like puppetmasters pulling the strings and making things happen which was outrageously unsatisfying. Another problem I had with this story was that part of the backstory involved the Beast and Gaston having grown up together and been best friends, only for the witches to cast a spell over everyone to forget any of that ever happened when the Beast begins to transform into the monster we know him as. This was also outrageously unsatisfying, and left me wondering what the point of that even was if it made no difference to the story? All in all, this book was decent and there were parts I did enjoy but the story in no way does justice to the original masterpiece of a film. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really amazing.... a must read for Beauty and Beast fans I am 29 and loved it *by W***4 on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019* This book was amazing. I am normally not a fast reader because of life, but I wanted to keep reading this from start to finish. I don't really know what I was expecting. Definitely not a cookie cutter of the Disney movie, but I was not expecting this. The Beast was definitely not easy to love in the movie, but he came off as even more scary and arrogant in the book. Even though I wanted him to break the curse and live happily i also found it hard to root for him in the beginning. My one issue was time how long was the Beast a Beast? He was old enough to marry, but not yet 21 but a apparently it has been many years. He is the Prince so where are his parents they never mentioned. Those are all problems laid out on the movie so it is no wonder they are here too. Lastly did Gaston really deserve to die and wouldn't the Prince (no name give) feel remorse for his death. If Circe could bring back the Beast I wonder if she brought back Gaston?
