Customer Reviews

I received my book today (As old as time ) and i was very disappointed. There were 4-5 pages scribb

I dislike that book was not readable with scribbles all the pages you can't even read the book. So i'm very disappointed

A really great telling of a widely known story

If you grew up loving belle then you're going to want to read this too. It doesn't stray too far but it gives a whole new view on the story. I almost couldn't put it down at times. It gives a more indepth look into characters and gives back story, I just loved it.

The Best In The "A Twisted Tale" Series

This is the best out the series in my opinion; the story has this French-inspired element that you don't really see a lot of in the original movie. What makes it so good is the combination of different elements, from the French-inspired aspect to the dark gloomy twist...it gives off this dark romanticism kind of vibe. To say it was executed well would be a vast understatement; I wish all the books in this series were as good as this one.

Wholesomeness mixed with a darker mystery and plot.

Absolutely amazing. I've been having trouble reading these past few years but this book sucked me in. You get original content, whimsical magic, mixed with classic scenes from the original story. It takes a turn into a mystery, and Beast was so sweet and made my heart melt a couple times. A great book for beginner Monster lovers as well.

Great Party Gift

Had a Beauty and the Beast themed Sweet 16. We used these beautiful books and center pieces and then as party gifts at the end.

That ending though

I bought this book cause I love this fairytale one of my favorites hands down and I enjoyed the book until the end it was a kill joy unless she writes Another one her writing isn’t bad at all just the ending was if that makes sense, based on the way the story goes It should have ended things differently. Waste of a read for me in my opinion cause the ending is everything

Great Read

This was the first book I've read from Liz Braswell, and I was hooked from page one. To be honest I mostly bought it for the cover art, but I love it when a book is as good as its cover.
