Truthfully after the first few pages I was tempted to stop reading this because normally I am not interested in reading about guys like this. But Kyle turned out to be an interesting character to read about and I think I prefer this story to the original Beauty and the Beast. He does, at one point in the story, start talking like a character from The Phantom of the Opera and become quite stalker like, but I think that added to the authenticity of his character. It was also really fun to compare how quickly his character changed in the course of two years. To me, this book is highly recommended if you enjoy modern fairy tales.
