What Members Thought
I really enjoyed this retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I thought the author did a great job with the writing. I really liked how there was an enchantment over the castle but that it wasn't the Disney version of the story where inanimate objects talked. I thought the ending was very rushed to the happy ending....I would have liked a little more detail and a little more of the story.....(view spoiler)

I liked the retelling of a classic. It took a little while to get the actual story going. And the ending was way too abrupt!
I liked this book. I loved the theme that real "Beauty" is more than skin deep and it's correlation to "Honour." I love the name Honour; ah, to have a dozen children to name. *sigh*

Delightful!
What a great version of this story. I just wish there was a little more of what happened after the happily ever after.
ReRead this one, this time with my 13 yo daughter. We both enjoyed it a lot. Rich vocabulary and imagery. Great retelling of a classic tale.
