Plot: Kyle Kingsbury is rich, beautiful and popular makes fun of a girl rather plain in his class named Kendra, a real witch in disguise. She then curses him for his wickedness, transformed into a beast, but gave him two years to break the spell, for a few seconds before turning, Kyle performs an act of kindness, giving the girl a pink ticket that his partner refused to wear to the dance. The only way to break the spell and return to its beauty is to love and be paid .
Small premise. While I was writing this review I came across a song (hear, hear!) entitled The beauty and the beast! If you want to listen ...
I know that this would be another variation ...
My review: This book is the looking for some months but at a time where vampires, werewolves and fallen angels sell millions of copies around the world (perhaps the only parts that are saved only those of the so-called "Third World"), encounter a book starring a cool high school , Daddy's boy, who attends a school for rich people like him (ie a pack of hyenas with clothes D & G) and that his arrogance is transformed into a beast seemed a bit 'weird. Despite all the Pluto the first time we saw him, raised his thumb saving this book and giving him a second chance.
course I'm always broke, so I decided to postpone indefinitely the purchase. Friday night I was out shopping with my parents and I seen. I said to myself: "We read a few pages, at least I know if it's worth." Time 30 seconds I was leaning against the column nearby and I was practically eating. When I saw my mother a few feet away from me I heard the sound of something that is indistinguishable broken was my heart. I could not let this gem along with the other garbage that stood beside him. I begged to buy it and claim that he was afraid of:
- He had a 15% off the cover price;
- Has 375 pages (excluding the author's note);
- It 's a story as captivating is the story of Beauty and the Beast in the modern version.
result of the lawsuit? Beastly by Alex Finn won the lawsuit against the Oak Elfshimmer avid reader. The problem was with my XD. I unsheathed my most powerful weapon, one that has worked in 10 years (su15): the eyes as a puppy. Those who used it mostly to scrounge sleep in Latvia with her mother. XD
Back to us ...
Eventually, as you can guess, the eyes were rusty but it worked and I spent two evenings and a half ago really wonderful! (Talking books)
One thing that goes in favor of this book is writing smooth, non-dispersive, really good for my taste. The story is beautiful but can not be said to be super original. Nevertheless, the author managed to insert ourselves into the very important food for thought as the importance of money and beauty in the world today that throughout the novel makes you wonder: "The beauty makes you better than others?" or "Money can not have them all and is a sign of disgrace?" and I frankly I had the answers to these questions but it's a good thing rifarsele many times in life. In addition, a young adult book that asks these questions to a young player is still a good thing in a society where beauty and money down the law.
The book is mostly focused on the curse of Kyle and his struggle to break the curse. To do so is to find a girl that goes beyond its appearance of a beast, loving it. He must return and only a kiss "dictated" by a mutual love can break it.
a difficult business, eh? Kyle also thinks and after a while 'stops even trying, because they do not think you are so lucky. And here is wrong, because love comes in the most unimaginable and unthinkable for a person from the old Kyle.
A very likeable character is Will, Kyle's teacher-beast. E 'blind but can see better of a person by the excellent view.
The book is also divided into several parts, after which there are some pages where the hero finds himself chatting with other "processed" already from the beginning can be traced back easily to well-known personalities in the world fairytale.
(A striking example is that Silence is none other than the Little Mermaid). The moments of chat are still smiling. ^ ^
The end of the image, even if the adventures that we were in the middle made it very enjoyable.
What else?
Alex Finn was able to do a good job " refurbished " story by including many important issues in a few hundred pages without burdening the narrative with a plot and really enjoyable. You will understand that my part is the most comprehensive advice on this book. So ..
I'll straconsiglio! : D
ps I know what the picture is a handsome young man and not a beast but better this cabbage here that the original beast! XD
