Disney As Old As Time: What if Belle's Mother Cursed the Beast?

Cool

As old as time

It was not that good as I hoped, it was good but had some very boring parts in it. I would not read it again. I sometimes didn’t get the story telling.

A good twist on Beauty and the Beast! Darker than the original, I think yoing teens would enjoy this take.
I particularly liked that part 1 was written chapter by chapter from 2 points of view, really kept me interested in the story.

I really like the Book as it makes me happy he best person in the book was definitely belle. I would recommend this to my friends as I know they would like it

So magically amazing

I love Beauty and the Beast and this story was interesting as it chnaged my perceptions of the story.
I love the relationship between Belle and the Beast as well!

A great adventure book

This book is an amazing read. If you think you know the real story behind beauty and the beast think again. Explore what would have happened if Belle actually touched the rose. This extraordinary tale is the best definition for the word tension. Discover a new world where anything is possible. In this non-fairytale Belle’s mother is the one BEHIND the beast’s curse and that she refused to protect his parents from a deadly virus. I totally recommend to all children who need a trickier book to read.

I thought it was quite book as it goes between the past and present, explaining what happened to her mother and when she was only a child. Her mother was not dead and they all got reunited in the end.

I loved this book because it was a really exciting version of beauty and the beast. It was very different and it had a not quite that happy ending but it was still really good.

A great classic with a fantastic twist

This was a great book. It felt like 2 stories in one and I'd recommend it to everyone.

I think it was a great book. I liked Belle's mother (Rosalind) the best because she was very pretty. the only time I did not like her was when she cursed the beast. A part I found funny was when she turned someone's nose into a pigs's nose. I would recommend this book

I loved the book!I love Disney so that made it even better.Some bits were spooky and some were adventurous.5/5

I really enjoyed this book.
It was very different to the usual beauty and the beast story.
I would recommend it.

This book was great. My favourite character was the beast as he learnt how to con

I love these books. Even my grown up friend likes them. They make you think.

This book was fiction. This book was two stories in one - in the past and in the present. It is a twist on Beauty and the Beast. The twisted part was that Rosalind, the enchantress, was Belle's mother and she put the curse on the beats. My favourite character was Rosalind and she was an enchantress and she was really powerful and curse the beast for being so horrible. I also liked Belle because she did everything she could to get rid of the beats curse.

Fiction:I chose this book because I really like the story Beauty and the Beast and I know that that story might be babyish for me now,but this is a more grown up version of it

Fiction. My favourite character was Belle. I recommend this book, even though it was gruesome at times.

I thought it was very good I liked when belle managed to escape the asylum with her papa and maman I think the author made this story very interesting to read making certain parts scarier than others

Hi,this is my book review on As old as time,which is a fairy tale retelling on Beauty and the beast.
In this story,The author tells it quite differently then the original tale. In this book,The enchantress[who cursed the beast] is Belles mother. Belle discovers that when she meets the beast and gets to know him in the library where she is trying to find out more about beasts parents background.Overall i didn't enjoy the concept of the story and how Liz bras well Retold the story. Out of 10, if i had to rate this story,i would give it a solid 6. However I have a different opinion then others so don't hate. xxx Sabrina chakdouf. Bye for now and watch out for my next review. peace out.

I really liked this book as there is lots of twists in it and the story is sometimes told from different characters. My favourite character is Rosalind. I would recommend it to ages 10+

I really enjoyed this book as I like Beauty and the Beast and this book was the twisted tale version which I thought was really interesting and that's why I decided to read it. My favourite character was the witch who cursed the beast because I think she taught him a good lesson. I would recommend this book especially to people who like Beauty and the Beast.

I thought this book was amazing I really enjoyed it. I am a very big Beauty and the Beast fan and have always wondered who cursed the beast? and I totally expected this as Disney are very good.

Very good book. Had small similarities to the book but was also so different, almost a bit darker but in a good way. would make a great film. Couldn't put it down!

A nice change to one of my favourite Disney stories

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone from the ages of 11 to 15, especially if you like adventure or thriller stories. Some parts of the book are quite dark, and it puts a great spin on the original tale.
It is SUCH a good book, 5 star!
Can't wait to read the other books in Liz Braswell's series.
BYEEEEEEEEE! :)
