Imagine the Disney screenplay you grew up with and could recite word for word… rewritten with a Tim Burton-esque dark edge. That’s this Twisted Tale in a nutshell.

I love a good reimagining of a familiar story, and I grew up on Disney Renaissance, so I was excited to discover this series, starting with this book. I appreciate that the premise is stated right on the cover; this left me able to focus on the plot instead of over-analyzing details to discover the main twist from the original story. The inclusion of some exact details and dialogue from the animated film was at times comforting in its familiarity, but other times felt a bit jolting because this is such a different story. (Like two sets of characters in parallel universes having the exact same conversation.)

I didn’t realize how dark this retelling was going to get. Be aware that it’s definitely not intended for story time with young children. It is quite well written and cleverly thought out, though, and I look forward to reading others from this series. ( )

Okay, I’m going to be honest, I really didn’t like this book. It isn’t completely horrible, which is why I’m not giving it a one star instead, but I hated this. Mostly, I think I hated it because of the characters. I hated Belle’s mother and I hated Belle, which pains me to say since I love Belle in the movie. In this book, however, I just found them insufferable, and since they were the main characters, it just kind of ruined it for me. ( )

I found this book to be such a fun read featuring belle and the beast. I really enjoyed the questions that i tackled. I really loved how this book expanded the world and delved in more about belle parents past. I loved the part of the book the focused on the parents. I wish that part had been expanded a tad. I found his book to such a fun read and loved how it answers even more questions. This book could even lead until a sqeual easily ( )

MIRROR


I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.

Whatever I see I swallow immediately,

Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.

I am not cruel, only truthful‚

The eye of a little god, four-cornered.

Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.

It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long

I think it is part of my heart. But it flickers.

Faces and darkness separate us over and over.

Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,

Searching my reaches for what she really is.

Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.

I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.

She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.

I am important to her. She comes and goes.

Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.

In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman

Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.

—Sylvia Plath

For my husband, Scott. Without your support, love, and presence these books—and certain days ending in y—would be a whole lot harder.


And a gigantic, fluffy THANK YOU to my editor, Brittany, whose sense of fun and brilliant ideas made over a thousand pages seem to just fly by
—L.B.
