Beastly- Alex Flynn

Image
In preparation for watching the new movie of "Beauty and the Beast"  I decided to read a fractured fairytale based on that story.  Beastly  is the tale of Beauty and Beast from the Beasts point of view and is set in the present time. But apart from the character of the beast and the significance of the rose, most of the story was different to the original which made it quite an interesting read. Kyle Kingsbury is a normal kid. He goes to a posh school,is a selfish brat, hot and popular and the king of the school. One night, everything changes. A witch turns him into the beast he really is on the inside. Kyle has 2 years to break his curse before it becomes permanent, but it's breaking the curse that's the hard part. The classic fairytale's true love kiss is the only thing to break it. Can Kyle get someone to love him the way he really is, or can he learn from his mistakes and finally become the person he is supposed to be? Beastly  is a story of love
