This is because the novel is actually YA, but if the movie is “young,” the book is ten times more so. One thing I immediately notice in this novel is how juvenile the story is. After two of my blog friends (thanks, girls!) convinced me I should read the novel, I did puck up a copy, hoping it would be just as enjoyable as the one that came alive on my television screen. I didn’t know exactly what I’d think of it, but it was something I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. REVIEW: as any fairy-tale should, the movie adaptation of the same name quite enchanted me. In order to break the curse, he must find someone to love him unconditionally, and to return that love… or he will remain as he is, forever. That is all the time he has to “fix” things. When he’s banished to the “middle of nowhere,” Kyle must learn to cope with his new beastly appearance and has only his tutor for company. After his plan to prank the so-called witch, Kendra backfires, Kyle is left a beast – a curse Kendra puts on him so the world may see him on the outside as he is on the inside: ugly. STORY: Kyle Kingsbury is a vain fifteen-year-old who lives without parental affection so long as he’s among the “beautiful people,” otherwise his workaholic father has less time for him. ![]()
