3.0 out of 5 stars This version of the classic fable is not only erotic but it is totally unlike the classic tale, July 12, 2011

This review is from: Beauty or the Bitch (A sexy contemporary retelling of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast) (Kindle Edition)

This is one of ten of my reviews analyzing different versions of Beauty and the Beast. See the first review of this series - Beauty and the Beast by Unknown - which discusses this genre and outlines the purpose of the fable. This is one of quite a few erotic versions of the classic tale. This account does not reflect the Beauty and the Beast story. It only uses the concept of beauty and beast, along with a lot of explicit sex.

A reporter interviews a once famous beauty movie star who suddenly quit her career and went off to a mountain top to live alone. He finds her and she is now undernourished and no longer a beauty. She appears disfigured, somewhat beastly. Yet as the Beast in the fable, he is attracted to her and has repeated sex with her. She reveals her story to him, which includes a description of the behavior of two beasts. One was her lover who had sex with eight year old girls. The other was her female friend who was the lover of this man before he met our Beauty. This friend knew about the man's beastly behavior, but still introduced Beauty to him. She never told Beauty or anyone else. And, as a result, many girls were molested.
