Beastly, by Alex Flinn

Modern Fairy Tale

 "Beastly" is a modern day version of the classic fairy tale "Beauty and The Beast". It is a very fast paced story told by the beast Kyle Kingsbury. He was a very popular student at his high school, the kind that drew a crowd.. On the outside Kyle was handsome, but on the inside he was cruel, so cruel in fact that he publicly humiliated Kendra, a girl completely opposite of himself.

 That night his fate was sealed.

Kyle was transformed into a hideous beast, hidden away by his father from everything he valued because of his looks. Kyle has two years to find true love or he will remain a beast forever. It is a witty book, the chat rooms Kyle goes to are funny, they are run by Chris Anderson and the characters Kyle meets there are very memorable.

The book is listed as a young adult and could be enjoyed by both girls (of course) and boys, because it is being told from Kyle's point of view. I enjoyed this book and have recommend it to several people.
