Description

A cursed prince sits alone in a secluded castle. Few have seen him, but those who claim they have say his hair is wild and nails are sharp--like a beast's! But how did this prince, once jovial and beloved by the people, come to be a reclusive and bitter monster? And is it possible that he can ever find true love and break the curse that has been placed upon him?

  • To much bout the odd sisters than the beast

    They talked quite a bit bout the Odd Sisters & Ursula (book # 3), rather than much of the beast story .

    This book belongs to my favorite Disney princess 馃憫 I liked the twists and turns and mystery of this book. I couldn鈥檛 put it down..and I was starting to drive people a little crazy...馃槓 it was nice to learn about kind of the mystery villain in Beauty and the Beast, I thought that the villain would be Gaston but we learned a little bit more about both of them but more of the beast who still had an unexplained story. This book is imaginative and something you can鈥檛 put down! I most definitely recommend it

    This book had the classic story of Beauty and The Beast but it was more of the Prince鈥檚 story, which was beautiful! Also there were additional characters and villains, and not to spoil, but there were some friendships that I didn鈥檛 expect! I highly suggest you read it:))))

  • Entertaining, but story rather weak towards end

    This story started out interesting learning about the history of the Prince but when it went back to the present with Belle it started to be just a retelling of the move and at the end the whole thing was very rushed as if the writer couldn't be bothered any more.

    I ran across the first book on a Disney trip. I previewed it and had to read it. It was great, so when the second book came out I was excited to start reading it. Was very disappointed, it almost felt like it was rushed. Still an interesting book but I preferred the first. I Agree with other reviews that the focus was on the 3 witches. Would have liked the story to focus more on the beast and his relationships rather then to discuss the witches. I really hope Ursula's story is similar to "fairest of all"

    I honestly loved this book! It brought a whole version of the story but also took elements of the original Disney movie which I absolutely loved! I can't wait for the next book!

  • Disappointed.

    I really liked Serena's other book that retold the life of snow whites queen. This book was disappointing in the facts that it didn't focus on the change in the beast or his relationship with belle. Those story lines were glossed over so the author could focus on the witches story. Which was lame. I wish the book spent as much time on the story of belle and beast as the back story of prince.
