    <body><![CDATA[I started reading this because I adore fairytales, especially the story of <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41424.Beauty_A_Retelling_of_the_Story_of_Beauty_and_the_Beast" title="Beauty  A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley">Beauty and the Beast</a>. In this story you'll find alot of the old fairytale cliche pieces. But put together in an interesting way. <br/>Hmmm.. I should go read it again. I think the author was going to make a sequel.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30770790">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I will admit, I bought this because of the polar bear on the cover. That's how easy I am. It's a re-telling of the <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41424.Beauty_A_Retelling_of_the_Story_of_Beauty_and_the_Beast" title="Beauty  A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley">Beauty and the Beast</a> story. Pretty good, nothing overly memorable, though. (The &quot;Beast&quot; turns into a polar bear, which was probably the best part.
