Book Rating

As an adult reader I actually found myself quite enjoying this book! Don't get me wrong it was a very quick read but then the book is aimed at children so that is to be expected.

This tale of Belle as a child really stayed true to the character that we know and love in Beauty & the Beast. Belle knows she is different from her schoolmates and longs to have something in common with them. However, her original tendencies to learning and invention always shine through: a trait the other children label as odd.

I really appreciated the small nods to the famous Disney film throughout this book: the triplets in their different colour dresses and Maurice's familiar inventions make the reader comfortable in this provincial town and truly settle in to the story of Belle as a child.

Naturally the tale has to revolve around books and I would be disappointed if it didn't. The transformation of Belle into "the girl who could" mirrors that of the town's neglected bookstore and her childlike determination is inspiring.

Both the writing and the illustrations are perfect in this book. Sadly there is no mini gaston but that would have probably been too obvious and trite.

A great book for children (and big kids) alike.

Kudos

Bumblebee- I didnt expect thie movie to be this excellent/great. I mean the Transformers Franchise is Garbage, trash and awful, expect for the first one. The first one was good and i liked, but the others though sinkey/pee-ew. Anyways Bumblee was really good, the plot was good, the action was good, no Micheal Bay explotations/what he is known for like shots of hot woman, product placment, explosions, racist charcters/racist people, long run times, etc. I mean thier are some product placements and explosions, but not ever god damn second/minute. Thank you Travis Knight, for taking this franchise into a different direction/new sight.

The plot: On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee the Autobot seeks refuge in a junkyard in a small California beach town. Charlie, on the brink of turning 18 years old and trying to find her place in the world, soon discovers the battle-scarred and broken Bumblebee. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns that this is no ordinary yellow Volkswagen.

If you havent seen this film, than go see it, it is a must watch film.
