What Members Thought
I hate when people try to compare this to the movies. Apart from the silent movie they have nothing to do with this story, except that the characters and the plot are almost the same. Same goes with the musical. Although enjoyable as its own, it has a completely different approach to the situation. The book just has more depth and is overall a great gothic twist of the basic Beauty and the Beast folklore. It's not scary for modern readers, yet it is a wonderful and twisted love story. Then again

A good read and deservedly a classic. I was surprised at the humor in the beginning, then it took a turn into psychological terror. A few unanswered questions mar it from being a great book.
Very readable book albeit a bit melodramatic.
