This is a great book for anyone who loves Disney movies and wants a new take on a classic Disney Princess.Is a lot of things: smart, resourceful, restless. There’s a lot more depth to all of the characters this time. I really liked that LaFou and the other villagers had more of a brain and thought for themselves more, instead of always blindly following Gaston. My only slight complaint was that Belle was a little too whiny for me. I wasn’t sure what changes the book would make, but the changes were really well done and well written. As Belle is my favorite Disney Princess, I figured I’d like it but I didn’t expect to throughly enjoy it as much as I did. Rating: 4.5 – a different take on Beauty and the Beast
