4.0 out of 5 stars While the plot was strong, the characters were disappointing, 18 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This was the first Judith Ivory book that I have read. The book started out strong and held my attention throughout Louise and Charles' voyage. The dialouge was interesting and the love scenes were excellent!! However, once the two characters reached land, they seemed to lose the qualities which made them so great. Charles becomes ineffectual and self-conscious, while Louise becomes a veritable shrew. There are moments where the old characters do shine through (the bathroom scene and the garden party). I found the scene where Charles gives Louise a black pearl necklace particularly poignant. The characters do seem to collect themselves and move towards a heroic ending. Which is, if a little anti-climatic, still happily ever after.

2.0 out of 5 stars Whatever happend to Judy Cuevas, 31 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I found this novel somewhat lacking. It seemed to be missing the beautiful prose found in her books written under the name of Judy Cuevas. Furthermore, I did not find the characters in this book attractive. It seams all of Night/Cuevas' characters are flawed, yet I usually find this endearing. These characters, however are not very endearing, nor memorable. Perhaps, it is the lack of careful self analysis that is found in some of here other books, such as Dance and Black Silk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Strong start very weak finish, 6 May 1999
By A Customer
I found the scenes on board ship very good, I thought that Charles and Louise would have some explosive interaction once they reached land. However, he turned into a wimp and she never got over herself. They had promise, but they didn't deliver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, sexy, touching
Judith Ivory's BEAST is smart, sexy and incredibly touching -my favorite combination. Her voice is one of a kind, which makes BEAST a real must-read.
