review 1: Absolutely magical! Amongst the very best of the Beauty and the Beast re-tellings I've read. I picked up the kindle- READ- did my daily tasks-READ- re-charged the Kindle (my electronic lover, my husband calls the thing now!) READ on - tasks- READ- work- READ-quick quick Kids off to bed!! And then I READ READ READ and just couldn't put it down until I finished this novel.My eyes were blood-shot red when I finally shut my 'lover', but I was extremely satisfied.Personally I loved the writing style, the philosophy and the palette of human emotions the story portrayed.There was just one moment, or perhaps two in the novel where I had to blink and shut off my reasoning- but the story was so gripping, I easily overlooked these small errors. Also, I think the Epilogue was inessent... moreial,but then I'm not really fond of those in general; I prefer to leave it up to my own imagination to guess as to how the heroes will evolve after the ending of a good story.Sondra Allan Carr's got herself a new fan- I'm going to be following her writing!
review 2: I fell in love with the characters, felt all their feelings, cried when they shared their past or their "shames" as they called it, although there was never any reason to be ashamed. Jonathan and Isabelle are not our perfect heros, they are scarred, they are undervalued and finally find acceptance and love in each other, coming to overpass their fears in order to be together. This story is a lot like the classic Beauty and the Beast and at the same time not alike at all. The characters are strong and scarred as our classic Belle and the Beast but their scars are able to convey an affliction so deep that I couldn`t help but be stirred by such beautiful characters. I belive it is a book anyone can read without fear. less
