Book Review of The Rose and The Beast: Fairy Tales Retold

The Rose and The Beast: Fairy Tales Retold
Helpful Score: 1


An ok book. The book is written in a verse like almost. Not poetry but in a strange way. Not used to it. But I didn't like how the stories were retold. It was like here's the beginning..and oh look here's the end. It lacked a middle. They were all very very short and almost like the original versions had been torn apart and left to bare bones. I liked the original versions better. So like I said, an ok book if you want to read it just to see what the writing style is like, but not if you want to really enjoy the fairy tales. (especially if you really have a favorite one that you don't like people messing with..because trust me..she really messes with them)
