Beautiful story

What made the experience of listening to Beauty the most enjoyable?

I love this book. I wish it was available as a kindle book. I've listened to it many times as I travel.

Classic Robin McKinley

A fantastic re telling of B and the B. Loved it as a kid and still love it as an adult. Rich, beautiful, and well written.

My only wish is that there was a more fully developed conclusion.

Wonderful Retelling

I read this book when I was younger, and I remember loving it then. I had so much fun revisiting this book... listening to it made me fall in love with the story all over again! Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite fairy tale, and this is a beautiful and imaginative retelling.

Beautifully told

I first read this book shortly after it was published and love it still. My favorite fairytale told in a lovely and wonderful manner. A keeper.

Excellent
