The Beast Review: The Beast was a wonderful book. It talks about real life experiences, like drugs, relationships, school, and family problems. I thought Gabi was a beautiful poet and Spoon was always there for her when she needed him most. Spoons parents were not the best but they were both very supportive, caring, and always pushing him to do the right thing. This book has a great perspective on the mind of an American teenager. I think it's a sobby love story with a happily ever after ending, that's not really my thing. I think that many people would enjoy this book, especially if you can relate to it.
