As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale

Product Information

That is the sign of a good book; a good book invokes an emotional response and leaves you feeling dazed. Instead As Old as Time is full of inconsistencies, over-done, flat, one-dimensional characters, and falls way short of the Disney film.

I loved the whole idea behind this book with the great enchantress from the stories being Belle's mother. And yes, I know that cannon assumes that Belle’s mother must’ve been a pretty hot number given the fact that Maurice is…well, Maurice and everyone in town sings about Belle who looks nothing like Maurice. Another annoying thing was that Belle would reference things that happened in her books ALL THE TIME, but the thing is, she would reference things that is literally KNOWN TO HAPPEN IN HER STORY. Vor allem begegnet man aber auch trotzdem allerhand bekannten Charakteren und Szenen, was mein Herz regelmäßig aufgehen ließ. And as awful as the antagonist is (and no, he isn't who you think he is), and despite his twisted logic and behavior, you are able to understand this person's reasoning and motives for doing what he did because the characters are fleshed out so well.I would say the overall takeaway from this book would be: don't judge people just because they are different from you; you never know what someone is going through. She thought handling something dangerous and manly like a knife would be more interesting for him than trying to work with something fiddly like pastry dough.

You have until the eve of your twenty-first birthday to become as beautiful on the inside as you were on the outside. All this book did was make me want to put it down and immediately watch the movies so maybe this crappy Disney sanctioned fanfiction did its job. Of all the twisted tales I've read (I think it's three or four), this one has been my favorite so far! The story has two different perspectives - How Belle's father met her mother, and Belle's perspective.Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will unravel a dark mystery about their families that is 21 years in the making. And by being ‘just’ a retelling of Disney’s story, the author didn’t have to come up with her own characters or world-building, instead she just piggy-backed on people’s childhood nostalgia – and utterly failed. I thought it was a nice twist and was really interested in this storyline because it gave a bit more background as to why the castle was cursed and what was going on with the prince and his family.

Enchantress lady decides to curse an 11 year old boy (whose parents had just died) to find out if he'd be as terrible a ruler as his parents.

I saw so many mixed reviews (okay, mostly negative), but I didn't let that cloud my judgment at all. Admittedly, beauty and beast will forever be my favorite fairy tale of all time and I would never get tired of reading retelling or watching the same story go on like this.Every chapter would alternate from Belle's present-day to Maurice's past, and I literally couldn't decide which storyline I hated more!

The book explains a lot of things that didn't make sense in the original writings but then asks a lot more!Learning more about the lovable Maurice and getting an introduction to Belle's mother was highly intriguing. Video Games: Beauty and the Beast • Belle's Quest • Roar of the Beast • A Board Game Adventure • Disney Infinity • Disney Infinity: 2. The 3rd installment in the New York Times best-selling A TWISTED TALE series asks: What if Belle's mother cursed the Beast? The same habits that made A Whole New World a hot mess, were included in As Old as Time including the whole let’s quote the movie. I feel like the first chunk of the book was written just in case someone didn't know the story or the book.
