Product Description
In the depths of a reservoir lives a monstrous creature. Its existence is unknown to anyone except the teenage boy who feeds it. Six years ago it was a vicious little baby. Now it has grown huge, and its rusting cage can't hold it much longer... Stephen is a boy with many secrets, and the Beast is the biggest. His life in foster care, always bad, is getting worse, and he's in trouble with the police. All the odds are against him finding a decent place in the world, but his efforts to free himself of the Beast make him a hero that readers will never forget.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   15 of 15 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars In response to recent negativity..., 30 Jul 2006 By  Penny4em (UK) - See all my reviews Hi there. The last reviewer, Harver, gave this book one star because it was too mature for his/her son. I don't see how this is a reason to slate a book. Beast is a Young Adult novel and the protagonist is 17 years old. Rate it on the writing not the fact that someone too young for it managed to get their hands on it. I guarantee they hear worse in the playground anyway. Beast has an intense stream of conciousness feel and Stephen is a very likeable narrator despite law-breaking tendencies. I enjoyed it very much.

Cove - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This is a great book! It is an easy read but enthralling. Ally Kennen keeps the reader on beastie hooks! The beasts true nature is tantalisingly revealed little by little. By the time you know what it is you can't put the book down because you're so into it!

Wells - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    The author has created an excellent story which combines suspense and tension with a down to earth lead character who is easy to empathise with. The language used is simple but charming, for example she likened the grassy bit in the middle of a country road to a mohican haircut. These little things tickled me! It had substance too. Beast is aimed, I should think, at a teenage market, but that shouldn't put adults off buying this. I've enjoyed all the Harry Potter books and I'm 32!
