This book is best for young teens or preteens (this is my opinion only). I truthfully can't remember when I first read this book, I do still like it and did remember liking mostly because it is the why's and hows why was the breast cursed how did he live? The fact that this from the Beast's pov. He is a Persian prince who is Muslim. That the author peppered the book with many foreign languages. And except for a few (mostly the Latin) she says what it means in English. I find I dislike first person present tense (person opinion) and at times find it can be stilted, however, I do respect a writer that can attempt it and succeed. Most of the story about 3/4 of it tells about the before meeting of Belle. It is not a fast paced book. And the ending is kinda abrupt. Not a bad "summer" read besides the multiple languages it is not a difficult read. A very unique book about a devout Persian Muslim whose thick headedness and pride get him cursed and his faith that he might be forgiven.

"And I've forgotten my prayers. How can I expect the Merciful One to remember me if I forget Him? I go out side and perform the wudhu. Then I pray.
I hear horse hooves.
This is not the way prayers work."---Beast
