In my opinion this is a good book. I particularly like the characters in this book. Each character has a well developed roll and a main purpose for being apart of the story. For example, if Luminere wasn't so inviting, maybe Maurice wouldn't have made himself so comfortable and got in trouble with the Beast. I also enjoyed the plot of this story. The events build the suspension for the readers to find out what the Beast will do and how he will act. For example, even after the Beast yelled at Belle for leaving her room, he then saved her in the forrest from the wolves. I feel the main message from this story is to never judge a book by it's cover. It is always to give the individual the benefit of the doubt by getting to know them before making any judgements. ( )

There are many reasons why I like this book. One reason is because one of the characters is well developed. The prince in the beginning has no sympathy for anyone so an enchantress turns him into a beast. Even when he was a beast and knew he had little time to find love, he was still cruel. When Belle comes to the castle she changes him for the better. She shows true kindness to him and that changes him into a better person. The Beast develops into a better person throughout the story because of Belle. Another reason I like the story is because the writing is engaging. It has some interesting vocabulary in it such as, enchantress, conceited, and magnificent. These may be words that a young child does not know and it would be interesting for them to learn them. The book is also paced well because of the dialogue that is written throughout and all of the different characters that speak. The big idea in this book is to treat others the way you want to be treated. If the prince treated the poor woman in the beginning with kindness he wouldn't been turned into a beast. ( )
