Beastly by Alex Flinn Book Summary

With a new Beauty and the Beast movie hitting theaters in spring 2017, it’s time to catch up on all things Beastly. Find out what it was like for the beast in Alex Flinn’s contemporary retelling of the classic tale.

I am a beast.

A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.

You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.

Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

Okay. This book is not like the movie and is for a young teen audience.

Perfect Book!👌. I started to read this book in school I actually thought it was going to be one of those boring books but it caught my attention to be honest I didn't wanted to stop reading it. I brought the book in my phone so I could read it at home. I love this book. Perfect description I actually thought I was in the book seeing it in reality. I really enjoy it!❤️ I love this book.

I really liked this book!. This book was so good! It was way better than the movie!

Beastly. It's wonderful book! I can't stop reading! I have my nose in it all day. Excellent job Alex. You have given me another book worth reading. And that's hard for me. I'm a picky reader. Thank you so much! 😊

Clever and beautiful. A clever retelling of the age-old story between a beauty and a beast in modern lore. Be it a castle or a five floor brownstone, anywhere can be a prison. Along the way, each character has their own prison with mountains to climb. But as most fairy tales show, adversity only makes us stronger.

Page turner. I had originally seen the movie and thought it was great! when I found out there was a book I had to read it. obviously the book and the movie are way different but, the message was still the same. This book was a page turner and I couldn't put it down it's also and easy read so I finished it fast. If you're sappy romantic and you also like the classic fairytale ending I recommend this book!

AMAZING!!!!!!. I just love beauty and the beast. I saw the movie and I loved it,so I read the book. It is soo good :) it was a page turner. I didn't want to put it down. I finished it in a few days and I plan to read it again soon :) read the book. You won't be disappointed

So awesome I started crying at the end. I luv luv luv luv luv luv this book!!!! And ppl, it's supposed to be predictable!!!

Could not put it down!!!. This book is amazing and I am not a reader at all! I loved every second and just couldn't put it down! normally I read books in about a month cause they bore me but I read this book in under 2 weeks!! I love it and would recommend it to any and every friend!

Loved it. great book! awesome in every way and a huge eye opener

Amazing!!!. I really loved this book and highly recommend it. The book will keep you wanting to know what happens next after each chapter. A tale of a conceded teen who then changes into a beast and finds someone to love him. Great book

Beastly. This is a really easy read. A great book for when you want to relax. Even though it's a modern-day fairy tale, It's not really girly; guys would like it too. A lovely love story.

Amazing book!. This book was truly amazing. I completely fell in love with the man kyle became over the two years. Awesome book!!!:)

Wow. This book is amazing. I read it in one day it was just so good!

Love. I love this book i started to read it and fell in love with the story right away.....i could never put the book down and if i had to i would finish the chapter i was on first.<3 this isnt based off of sleeping beauty its based off of beauty and the beast

Amazing! Powerful!. This book is so amazing. It's so powerful. I couldn't put the book down, read it in 2 days. I love this better then the movie. I had a great time reading it. It warmed my soul up. Greatest love story ever! 

Loved it. I couldn't put it down! I really enjoyed this book. It is on the top of my favorites for books. It has a great lesson, and is a modern day revamped beauty and the beast. I read this in one day. Be aware that it does not follow exactly to the movie if you have watched the movie first. I believe the book is much better. As this often happens with books made into movies. Anyway, the book is a great read and I highly recommend it.

Beastly. The book was wonderful. Well worth reading, now I can't wait to see the movie, hope it is just as good. Next book, "Beastly, Lindy's Diary" will let youk ow how it is.

AMAZING!. I hate reading books! But this book is so heat touching! A must read book!

Easy read. Most parts were cheesey, unrealistic, and predictable. It reminds me of a book I tried to write in third grade. This book is too much of a badly written fairy tale to be taken seriously. It was alright

Amazing. Wonderful book. Totally amazing. :)

Beautiful!. Everyone should read it. I wish they made the movie the same way! Predictable but very good.... Tear-Jerker at some points! I also wish I was that rich!

Wow. The movie was good but this was ever so much better. I could not stop reading. A must read for all.

Beastly. <3. This is kind of like a parody of Beauty and the Beast! I would recommend this book to any young adult who likes parodies! It also changed the way about how I look at things and that's why I think it's a AWSOME book! I love this book! <3

Dont judge a book by its cover. I had to read a book for a 10th grade book project. My friend recommended it, and i thought it would be stupid, but it was very enticing

Beastly. This book is amazing!!! I have read it twice and it features the true story of Sleeping Beauty. Alex Flinn is my favorite author and I would also recommend A Kiss in Time, which is not just a girl book. :-)

I have never read a better book in my life!!!!!!!!. This is coming from a 12 year old boy. This book captured "Beauty and the Beast" in such a great manner. I COULD NOT put this book down. It's something that I looked forward to reading every day. I have never read a better book in my life and I recommend "Beastly" to everyone. I also plan to follow this book with "Cloaked" and "A Kiss in Time" (also by Alex Flinn). NOTHING could of made this book better! You need to read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beastly. An absolute great story of true love becoming not only about looks, but about what's inside your heart. Whether you are nice or cruel in your heart, if you love something, set it FREE! :) This was a very well-written book! I'm glad I had the honor to read it! GREAT job to Alex Flinn!

Beastly is Beauty. This book is SOOOOOOOO amazing that it doesn't even make sense. I bought this book at my school book fair and it only took me 2 days to read it.(I could've read it in a couple of hours but was having a busy day) I recommend this book 2 everyone..!!!!

Already told. I enjoyed it, but it is the old Beauty and the Beast story we are all familiar with. The author practically apologizes at the end for telling it again.

Beastly. Omg!!!! This brought me to tears. I did not put it down and I ended up reading the whole thing in 2 days. There were times that I was like... Woah... Being a girl from New York City, I'm pretty tough, but it just got me blushing at one point! It made me think about how I wish some boys could look past my physical appearance and love me for me, like Linda... Nether less, an awesome book. I encourage many others to read it!😳😍😊☺

<3. This is the BEST book ever!!!! I loved every word of it!!! Kinda bad ending though!!

😍😍😍😍. BEST BOOK EVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR

Love the book. In my opinion, the book is wayyyy better than the movie because he accually turned into a real beast instead of some guy who just looked like he had a whole lot of tattoos. both the movie and book were awesome but I think the inner conflict within the main character was a bit more in the book.

Beastly. Far more engaging than that mess of a movie. Still not as good as, say, Beast by Donna Jo Napoli, but still enjoyable and memorable; you could do far worse than this, and at this price, it's an affordable diversion.

Beautiful. After reading Beastly I felt,"my god this was wonderful!" It was a little bit slow in the beginning for me but as I got closer and closer to the end I couldn't put it down! It is a must read book! I mostly recommend it to girls but boys would probably like it as well. Beautiful book~ I am glad I bought it. ;9

Love the book !. It's a classic fairytale. It was a wonderful book. I want to see the movie!

Best book eveer !. This book was amaazinggg ! I didnt buy it but i got it from a library . I started reading and I couldn't stop ! I ended up staying up until 3AM reading it ! I absolutley couldn't put it down! I definetley reccomend this book ! You'll love it !

Best book ever. It was amazing

Great book. This book was amazing, I mean It shows how people can change and how evil some people really are and how unhappy those evil people are. I loved the romance in the book, and it sort of reminded me of a modern spin of Beauty and the Beast.. I thought it was great, and it made me believe in fairytales!

?. I have not read the book but i loved the movie! is the story pretty much the same, or is it just the same "concept"??

Eh.. I am a young adult junkie, but even I found this book a bit juvenile. It was good, but would have been better if the author wasn't so cheesy. Her writing style could use tremendous improvement. Example: "I wanted him to pee his pants in fear.". That is just so corny! But it was good for a fast read. :)

Great. Its really good I recommend it

Moving. Best book i ever read it is so heart felt

. Omg that was.......the best book I can..... Im sorry this  is so hard to describe it's it's beastly

Love, love, love this book!. Awesome love story, great characters perfect ending! Loved it from beginning to end!!!

I know a few people.... Who need Kendra to come and turn them into beasts and give them a reality check just like Kyle.

Beastly. It took me a bit to get into the book. I saw the movie first and was expecting it to be more like the movie. Halfway into the book i almost gave up but I kept on reading and was pleasantly surprised. I was brought to tears and enjoyed the resolution. I don’t know if I’ll continue the series but I was happy to read book 1.

Loved. I loved that it was a modern day Beauty and the Beast.

Great book. An awesome read but I think the movie was a little better. Enjoy!

Great. Can't wait till the film comes out it is going to be cool. It is like a beauty and the beast story but more modern day :)

Ummm......it's OK. OK are the only words I can use to describe this book...very plain and quite boring really. The movie was better and that I the first time I have ever said that. Fpm2025

Fantastic, would recommend. I have watched the film before and really didn't like it, mostly due to the casting. However I took a chance on the book since I was hoping it would be different and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed reading from the beast's perspective, as many beauty and the beast retellings focus from her perspective and I thought it was refreshing to see his. The story was definitely aimed at a younger YA reader (especially with the chat room inserts) but the story itself was engaging enough to overlook this and keep my interest.

Speechless!. I can relate to the protagonist's situation ('not being a beast' part of course). Every chapter gave me excitement and thrill. I love this book, modern rendition of beauty and the beast. I couldn't put the book down, i would read almost 2 hours everynight only because of this book. Highly recommended to every romantic-fools out there :).

Beautifully written. Such a captivating and romantic rewrite of my favourite fairytale. I've read it over and over and I'm still not bored of it. Well worth the read, amazing from start to finish :)

I'm a 17 year old guy... And this is my favourite book ever! I didn't put it down.

.B.E.A.S.T.L.Y.. This book is amazing, hard to put down and brings together reality in fiction and leaves you with that book swimming through like a flower trying to bloom like Kyle, this story is heartfelt, exciting, anticipating, and hard to put down. Best book I have read, that is many.

Beastly Rocks. The first time I read this was after borrowing it from my school library. I have bought it, and Beastly:Lindy's Diary so that I can have them whenever I want I love this book and give it 100 out of 10.

Beaslty surprisingly hard to put down. A great little book cleverly written and incredibly hard to put down. However after reading it I've got a sinking feeling that the movie won't be good.

.... If possible, I would have put NO stars at all. It's pretty sad because I was SO excited to read this book... I was disapointed because it was pretty much a copy and paste of "Beauty and the beast"

Beastly. This book is amazing so far. Can't wait to by it on the weekend. And I also can't wait to watch the movie with my friends

Beastly. It was such a good book me and my friends loved it ! we loved the romance the format of the storie and everything ! READ IT
