Book Reviews of Beauty and the Beast
Book Review: Focus on things not on the show
Summary: 2 Stars
I realize that this book only deals with the pilot episode of the show, not with three episodes like the other two tie-in books. Therefore, there had to be a little something added to keep the book from being too short. Also, six months elapse between Catherine's attack and her seeing Vincent again. Readers may ask what happened during those months, so the author provides the answer. I don't like this answer. It takes away from the main story of Catherine and Vincent; the author spends way too much time on it. It involves a flood, of all things, and of course, a death. Obviously this book was written after Season 2, when the show developed the pastime of offing series regulars. Also there is an Asian girl in this "lost months" story named Kristen Ho whom I cannot stand. Vincent's community has welcomed her warmly, but she is very unappreciative, critical and downright rude. When she decides to leave the community near the end, I could only think as I read "Good riddance, Miss Stuck-UP! If she wasn't such a prominent character here, maybe my rating would be higher. I really prefer the other two books.
