5.0 out of 5 stars A Beast with A Heart, 2 Sep 2004
By Spy Groove "Ravenna" (DKI Jakarta, Indonesia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beast (Paperback)
Wow, the idea of the infamous Beast being a Persian prince, Orasmyn, is really well thought of. Based of some facts (explained in the end part of the book by Ms. Napoli), it makes sense to pull the story like it is plus it gives the romantic air in the book.

Reciting with style the story of the Beauty and the Beast from the Beast perspective with a fairy as antagonist (not male macho character in Disney version). You really get to know who the man behind the Beast as he grew up all along his journeys and torments. While Belle was a dutiful and smart girl with value which attracted the Beast.

A little too vivid with the lion story part but the feeling added to the drama. Very romantically clever retelling and certainly not boring.
I just wish there was one more chapter or epilog in the ending for explaining some detail undescribed when Orasmyn was still in lion shape (like Bell's color).
