Beastly

De: Alex Flinn

Narrado por: Chris Patton

"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 urn 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."

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[An] engrossing tale that will have appeal for fans of fantasy and realistic fiction." (VOYA, Voice of Youth Advocates)

surprised

I loved this book. it was a modern twist on the good old fairy tales. I loved how it mixed in fairy tale characters from the past. the message is appropriate for our times in society as well. Teenagers should listen to the story.

beastly

an old favorite that brought back a lot of good memories... this one ill read more then once

Old tale retold

Would you consider the audio edition of Beastly to be better than the print version?

Sure because the narrator brought the book and characters to life. I love to hear the various voices.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Beastly?

When he realize that he can be good and it will be the right thing for her to let her go so she could go to find her father

What does Chris Patton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The change, because his voice got gentle. Or when the beast roars.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and I almost did it.

Any additional comments?

It is a teen book, that is clear but it is well told. The story itself is old and moved to the present day. Nice entertainment for the ride into work.

love love loved it
