Title: Beauty: a retelling of Beauty and the Beast
Author: Robin McKinley
Thoughts: Next to Pride and Prejudice, this is one of my most favorite books. I know McKinley wrote it when she was young, and it is her first book, so every now and again I notice little awkward things, but it is still one of the most perfect stories out there. This is one of my pick-me-up books -- I can always count on it to cheer me up. It's also one of the few books I can read and reread without getting bored. In fact, I may have been known to finish reading it, pause, and begin it again, just for sheer pleasure.
