Description Toward Books Penelope

A modern-day fairytale--a major motion picture starring Christina Ricci, Catherine O'Hara, James McAvoy, and Reese Witherspoon.

Penelope Wilhern has everything a girl could want: A wealthy, socialite family, an enchanted bedroom and some of the coolest clothes around. There is only one problem: She was born into a cursed family and has the face of a pig.
Hidden away from the world, Penelope now finds herself subjected to a string of snobby, blue-blooded bachelors in a desperate attempt to find her a husband in order to break the curse. Though she yearns for something greater, what's a girl to do when faced with a determined mother and her matchmaking sidekick? Hoping to snap a photo of the mysterious girl, mischievous tabloid reporter Lemon hires down-on-his-luck Max to pose as a prospective suitor and infiltrate the family. But when Max finds himself truly drawn to Penelope, he can't bring himself to expose and disappoint her, so he just disappears. Fed up with this latest betrayal and determined to live life on her own terms, Penelope decides to break free from her family and go out into the world in search of adventure. Hiding her true identity with a scarf, Penelope discovers a wondrous world where freedom opens her eyes to possibilities she never knew existed. Making new friends along the way, she discovers happiness in the most unexpected places.

Assess Of Books Penelope

I cheated. I saw the movie first, because I didn't know it was a book! I will say, the movie is shockingly accurate, and since I absolutely adored the movie, suffice it to say that I LOVED the book! It's one of the best adaptations of a fairy tale in a Young Adult novel that I've read in years! It's a shame I didn't pick this book up sooner.The book deals with self-esteem, peer pressure, mild parental abuse and self-actualization in a way I didn't think possible for a book so short, and one

No real talent in the writing, not much character development, poor choice of point of view. It made a kind of cute movie, but the book is very uninspired. A sort of Beauty and the Beast knockoff, the basic message (that we are who we are regardless of how we look) is a good one, but there are much better story lines in which to see this play out. I did like two aspects - Johnny, for all his issues, does try to be self-sacrificing but his motivation is largely unclear and his backstory is not

I'm biased because this is one of my favorite movies, but the book was a cute way to do it as well. The book is just written from the movie, so it's nothing new, really, but again--I love this story. So much fun and such a great message.

I was hoping for a little more character development would be involved, and instead it was mainly the movie with some small variations. Although, I do wish the movie had explained why Max had been at the concert, so I did appreciate that much in the book.

Very quick read - witty and fun and positive.

It's not that I didn't enjoy the book...I just found the movie is a much more rewarding way of experiencing this story. Very rarely would I pick a movie over a novel, but I think part of that might be because this was not a novel that inspired a movie, but the novelization of a movie. While the story had some differences--I did enjoy that Annie had much more a role than the sidekick, funny friend; that her relationship with Penelope actually helped lead Penelope to some realizations about
