Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Erika

A modern twist on a classic. Beastly is about a boy named Kyle who is perfect to most, but a horrible creature to others.

Kyle is handsome, rich, well-known, and gets any girl he wants. But, he is also arrogant, rude, sly, and enjoys making fun of other kids. Most people see the perfect side, but a witch in disguise sees the beast side of him very clearly. When he angers her a final time, she changes his outer apperance so that the rest of the world can see him as the way she sees him.

Kyle's girlfriend rejects him, his father is ashamed of him, and he must find a girl to love him in under two years.

I really enjoyed this book, but, it has many clichés. I really like modern versions of classic fairytales. I always enjoy a happily ever after. I definitly think that watching Kyle's change was worth my time.
