Beastly

I finished Unwind a few days ago and finished another book called Beastly, by Alex Flinn, yestrday. Unwind was good, i really like it. I dont want to givea way the whole ending in case someone wants to read it but il just say the three kids i talked about in the previous post all lived...one thing about the book that i liked was that it was told from all of their points of view and then occasionally from one of the other characters views. It gave variety and made you see different poeples sides. So Beastly was basically a more modern version of Beauty and the Beast with slight variations. It was mainly about a 16 yr old who lived in Manhattan named Kyle Kingsly. He was filthy rich and got whatver he wanted, but he treated anyone who wasnt rich and beautiful like they were worthless. So a which put a curse on him to turn him into a beast, it could only be broken if he fell in love with someone and she loved him back within 2 years. It ended happily ever after, but ive gotta say like this version more than the Disney take.
