# 24 -- Beastly


Beastly, by Alex Flynn, is a modern-day Beauty and the Beast tale. It is set in New York City and involves teenagers instead of adults. The story is very similar to the classic tale you may know, but the telling is worth reading and I enjoyed it very much.

Now about the movie....if you haven't seen the trailers yet, you will soon. It makes an impression when you see the young man's transformation on screen. I'm looking forward to the movie, but don't expect it to be like the novel. First, because they rarely are and second, because I think you need to take the movie at it's own value without comparing it to the book.
