Although I liked this book, I read this after having read Rose Daughter, and, for me, Rose Daughter is a much richer and more highly nuanced version of Beauty and the Beast. This book, unfortunately, paled next to Rose Daughter and especially next to Deerskin, Hero and the Crown, and the Blue Sword - all of which I read before finally delving into this earlier version of this fairy tale. Having said that, I did appreciate many of the elements that McKinley plays with here. I was pleased to see Beauty as an intelligent, educated heroine, one who cannot see her own beautiful qualities until she comes to accept and see the Beast as a humane and gentle soul. That element of the story is what always drew me to the original fairy tale in the first place - the only fairy tale that didn't make me cringe when I was growing up (I was never a fan of Cinderella or Snow White - at least, not the "disneyfied" versions; they are doormats!). Beauty, at least, had a bit more spunk - although in this version, she's a bit too self-critical for my taste. I did like it, but I was not blown away by the story.

Amazing story and breathtaking writing

This is an incredible book! It was funny and smart without being too pleased with itself. This is the first book I've read about 9/11, and I was pleased to see that the author didn't use tragedy as a storytelling crutch. There are plenty of authors who should learn a lesson from this book (I'm looking at you, Dave Eggers).
اشتباه از ما بود اشتباه از ما بود كه خواب ِ سرچشمه را در خيال پياله مي ديديم دست هامان خالي دل هامان پر گفتگوهامان مثلا يعني ما ! كاش مي دانستيم هيچ پروانه اي پريروز پيلگي خويش را به ياد نمي آورد حالا مهم نيست كه تشنه به روياي آب مي ميريم ! از خانه كه مي آيي يك دستمال سفيد ،پاكتي سيگار ، گزينهّ شعر فروغ و تحملي طولاني بياور احتمال ِگريستن بسيار است

I was rather disappointed with this book. Instead of meaningful vignettes, the stories seem to be trying to top each other with their wacky insanity. Not enough for me. I'll stick with my Sedaris family.

One of the best novels I've read in 2006. Smith outdoes her previous work with this book. Touching on various issues of race, class, gender and the concept of beauty, she doesn't lose the reader with preachiness or contempt but rather leaves open the opprotunities for further discussions on these and other topics.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The pictures are fantastic and could be great tools for teaching students about the Civil Rights Movement. I think that kids could relate to the book more because of all the kid interviews. It makes the topic more relevant to their lives when they see that other children have an interest in this critical time in American history.
