Beastly
by Alex Flinn
A great adaption of the Beauty and the Beast..
A contemporary take on the classic..
The movie version of 'Beastly' caught my attention first..
But let me tell you, the 'book is always better than the movie'
I never expected this book to be this cool and funny! Beauty and the
Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales. That's why in the first place I
picked this book for a read. A fairy tale re-telling, this was a first
for me. I have watched movies where the fairy tales like 'Snowhite and
Cinderella being retold. But I never got a chance to read any
're-tellings' before.
The way Alex Flinn narrates the story of Beast is so good! She simply puts the beast in this century! The beast is a boy (not a prince but the son of a celebrity!) A Beast who uses lap top and buys things online is so funny and somehow so real! yes, so real!.
The witch is my favorite! :) Unlike the old fairy tale the witch in this book/century is so good! she has 99 out of 100 from me! :)
Kendra The Witch Rockss! :D And, hey Beastly is the first book from the series 'Kendra Chronicles Series'. The second book in the series is 'Bewitching'.

The movie version is worth watching. Alex pettyfer has done a great job
in making 'beastly' perfect. The movie version of the beast is not hairy
but a little scary. I mean, in the book the beast/Kyle has hair all
over his body plus he has long nails and scary teeth; and no lips. Well, in the movie we can see a different but good version of beastly. A beast with six pack, not so scary ;)
After reading the book 'Beastly', I was not so into accepting Venessa Hudgens as Lindy. Its because I imagined a different Lindy when I was reading the book. But then somehow I liked her in the movie :)
