A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster. You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell. Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

"I realized on my reread today what was weird about this book. <br/><br/>1. The writing. It was quite bad at some times. It was sweet but not quite what they were going for. <br/><br/>2. The overall story. This is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, told from the Beast's side. It starts out from his perspective as a spoiled popular brat attending an exclusive (messed up) school. I hated this kid so much. <br/><br/>3. How much the MC changed. He had an entire personality change in what seemed like a year. I don't believe someone who was who he was would change that fast just because he realized how he acts. It would be gradual, not nearly this fast (Don't get started on his vanity.) He also acts so creepy as part of his change. <br/><br/>4. The IM. They seemed so pointless and just like a filler.<br/><br/>But I liked what the author was going for. The MC and his love interest had some cute scenes. I liked his love interest since she seemed sweet and wicked smart. We should get more of her."
