Beastly, by Alex Flinn

Beastly, written by Alex Flinn, is a modern day version of the beloved story, Beauty and the Beast. When Kyle Kingsbury, a snotty, popular boy in high school who lives in New York City, upsets a disguised witch, she turns him into a beast, hoping that it will teach him a lesson. When his dad finds out, who is a majorly popular news man, takes him to almost all of the hospitals in the U.S. because he is convinced that it is some kind of disease. No one knows why he became beastly. His dad takes Kyle to this remote area on the outskirts of New York City. There is a huge house where he was supposed to live in. Kyle's father apparently has no love for his son, but also doesn't want anyone to find out that Kyle is a beast. He gets him a blind tutor and the old maid. Kyle knows that the only thing that will return him back to his human self is true love. But who would love a beast?...

I liked this book because of the changing that went though during this book. Kyle seemed to be living the life anyone would want, and he got whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. He was so spoiled, it was like he owned the world. When he turned into a beast, he was limited. He still had his rotten attitude, but it didn't stay around for long. Everything pretty much changed his attitude when she came along. But, of course, I can't say because that would spoil the book, wouldn't it?

I recommend this book to people who like teen life, romance, and twisted-up fairy tales. :D
