I'll be honest, the Disney animated movie will always be the "real" Beauty and the Beast to me, and I normally hate "retellings" of this story since they are normally the opposite of the Disney magic I know and love.  But this book has it's own magic to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Severin and Elle interact as a pair.  And Severin's servants may not be animated household objects but they have their own lively personalities and not-so-hidden agendas.
