My opinion: I thought Beautiful Creatures was amazing. Before I started to read Beautiful Creatures, I thought “Wow, I haven’t read a book this long since I read Twilight!” It’s true, I’ve been reading books with 250+ pages, so I forgot what it was like to read a 500+ page book. I finished Beautiful Creatures faster than I expected; three days, which is how many days it usually takes me to read a book. The number of pages in Beautiful Creatures didn’t seem to matter, I would have enjoyed this book short or long! When I started to read Beautiful Creatures, I didn’t know what to expect. The synopsis only talked about a curse, so I didn’t think it would be about vampires, wolves, faeries, etc. Turns out, Beautiful Creatures is based on witchcraft, spells, and casting. I haven’t read anything like Beautiful Creatures, so it was very exciting to read. I recommend this book to everyone, even guys should try this out! This story is based on Ethan’s point of view, so I think everyone will enjoy reading Beautiful Creatures!
