Belle

Grade: All right

Just waiting for Golden. It would be too bad if the only one I liked was Beauty Sleep. The problem with this one is the usual ones: too follow-your-heart-y; the man doesn't appear till two-thirds of the way through the book; the whole first half of the book is used to set up the story, so the second half is always way, way too short. Beauty Sleep, for some reason, seems to be the only one that doesn't do this. Well...it is pretty follow-your-heart-y. But one doesn't mind that in one book: it's a problem in five.
