This was a great book, retelling Beauty and the Beast. It was a bit dark, but that's all right! I can't wait to read the other ones!!! :)

Over all I liked this book. It's not one of those made for teens books that's based on a family story that feels the need to make it edgy to contrast itself from the sorce material. I feel the author did truly love the original movie. It…

I found it interesting how the author told this story with two perspectives and later changed it to just one perspective: in the present with Belle’s perspective and in the past of Belle's father Maurice and mother the enchantress with…

AMAZING! I loved it so much all the twists and turn. I am a mystery lover and this book has so much mystery so many twists and turns I couldn't help myself wondering what would happen next. I also loved the way we see all the points of…

As Old As Time is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It begins with what we know from the Disney movie and morphs into a new, exciting story full of twists and turns and revelations. The premise of the first twist is listed on the cover…

As I huge disney fan, I've been making my way through all the twisted tale books, and honestly... ... this shit is great. I can practically recite every moment from most disney movies I've seen them so often. And growing up I've had a lot…

As a major Disney fan and lover of fairy tales with a twist, I *really* wanted to like this book but I found it to be really slow and unexciting. I did not end up finishing the book - I got through around 70% of it, where Belle and the…

This was an interesting take on the Beauty and the Beast mythos. A warning to B&B purists: this book is not merely a retelling that asks the "what if" featured on the cover - it is, in fact, an alternative plot. The break-off point is…

Characters: 10/10 Plot: 10/10 Writing: 9/10 This Twisted Tale was exactly what I'd hope for from a Disney re-telling--building off of the characters and story I already love, but going in a totally unexpected direction. The plot twist…

I love this book!!!!! I am a total Disney fan, and this was one of the best Disney books I have ever read. It took the original, and just like all of the other Braswell books, put a twisted mind-set on it that literally had me rereading…

A lot of dialogue was taken straight from the movie. In the film, the enchanted objects had faces. In this book, they didn't. Why? How were they able to talk without mouths? As in the film, Belle doesn't apologize for entering the West…

For a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, I think this one was very well done--it doesn't follow the Disney version exactly, which makes for a more riveting story. The connection of Belle's mother to the beast was definitely a hook of a…

I almost gave up on this series because I found the first two books so disappointing but I'm glad I stuck with it. Beauty and the Beast has always been a favorite and Braswell finally delivered on her dark, fractured Disney premise.…

I loved this book. This series has been one of my favorite series I have read so far. Such a brilliant idea. At first I was worried how much the twist would effect the story, I wanted it to be a lot, because we all know the story of the…

I really enjoyed this book, which puts a new spin on the traditional Disney Beauty and the Beast. It is more of an adventure and is a great read. This along with the other two "twisted tale" books, is fabulous.

I enjoyed this book, but had a hard time reading it with the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack playing in my head every time I read.

This is definitely a decent twist on Beauty and the Beast. Some sections felt a bit like a script of the cartoon but the backstory and end were phenomenal. It also too special care to answer the questions that have been raised about the…

For me this felt like Beauty & The Beast in every way just with more of a backstory then a twist (except at the end) still loved it!
