Check out this review:
No joke, when I was looking for Beauty Beast the other day, I was having one heck of a time finding it online. When I did finally find it, I made sure I bought it quickly. What follows is my review.
I was impressed with Beauty Beast plain and simple. When I placed my order, I had in in my hands within 3 days and that’s no joke. The key is looking for a seller with over a 100 feedback rating on Ebay. I’ve even included an Ebay listing to Beauty Beast in this review to make it even easier on you.

Omg!!! I was just gonna say Beauty..and rose daughter. I loved loved loved Beauty. and I bought rose daughter, but havent finished it yet. Is it as good as Beauty? There is another retelling which I havent gotten to yet, in novel form.it’s called Belle, and it’s apart of the “once upon a time” series which remakes about every fairy tale story into novels that you can wrap your head around. various authors write the series, but there are a consistent top few. Belle is written by… lemme look that up..Cameron Dokey. She wrote it. Here’s a four out of 5 star review of it.”It is hard for me not to enjoy this book simply because this is one of my favorite fairy tales. On top of that, Cameron Dokey is the best out of all the authors writing for the Once Upon a Time series. Although Belle may have similarities to McKinley’s book, it should not be dismissed. While McKinley is a master when it comes to re-telling Beauty and the Beast, Dokey adds her own elements to the story. While the author does not fully describe certain aspects of the original fairy tale, such as the magical element, I do feel she has added her own twist upon the tale in the form of the heartwood tree. There is just something that rings true about wanting to see your true love’s face. The book deals with the idea of true beauty in a unique way. By not being able to see what the heartwood branch holds, Belle starts to question herself and the world around her. She learns that she has to have patience and see the people around her in a different light than she is used to. Of course, this transformation does not start when she joins the Beast in his castle. All the members in her family (except perhaps her father) start to change as soon as they move into the country. Still, the symbolism found throughout the castle serve to further her realization. I suppose what I like best about this book is how deftly the author has interwoven the theme of true beauty. She doesn’t waste any words, she doesn’t have any unnecessary side plots. And it’s a tale that needs to be heard. After all, don’t we all need to learn how to see true beauty in both ourselves and others? “so maybe check that one out- happy reading!

Here is an English translation of Mme. de Beaumont’s original.http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/7074
Don’t sing Music of the Night! It’s very overdone and also not suitable for that role – while the voice type is similar, the style is wrong. Look for another Alan Menken song – he wrote the music for BATB and you’re always best to find another song by the same composer but from a different show wherever possible. He’s written a lot of good songs so see what you can find that you like.
Something about books, sheep, Gaston, and singing dressers and candlesticks.
