Napoli's retelling of Beauty and the Beast is taken from the perspective of the prince this time around. The prince is cursed from a spiteful diety and must adapt to life as a beast, losing everything he once held dear. Napoli likes to take a very introspective stance on the prince's character and the majority of the tale focuses on how he copes with his new life.
Fans of Napoli or retold fairy tales will find Beast a very interesting take. It's not my favorite retelling (that would be Beauty by Robin McKinley) but it's still good. Probably 4 out of 5 stars.

everyone one knows the cartoon version of Beauty and the Beast. but this is the original story of Beast. I read this title last year and absolutely loved it. I would recommend this book for anyone 11 and up.
