Narration In Pursuance Of Books Crazy Beautiful
In an explosion of his own making, Lucius blew his arms off. Now he has hooks. He chose hooks because they were cheaper. He chose hooks because he wouldn’t outgrow them so quickly. He chose hooks so that everyone would know he was different, so he would scare even himself.Then he meets Aurora. The hooks don’t scare her. They don’t keep her away. In fact, they don’t make any difference at all to her.
But to Lucius, they mean everything. They remind him of the beast he is inside. Perhaps Aurora is his Beauty, destined to set his soul free from its suffering.
Or maybe she’s just a girl who needs love just like he does.

Honestly, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy of CRAZY BEAUTIFUL once I heard it was a modern-day Beauty & the Beast retelling. Then I saw the cover. *clears throat* That's one good cover. Reminds me of another cover I'm rather fond of. In fact, reading and finishing this book prompted an immediate re-read of Perfect Chemistry. The two actually have a fair bit in common, though they are very different in style and length. There was a lot of hype around the blogosphere surrounding CRAZYNow, I happen to like retellings of fairy tales in modern contexts. I also like romances when they're done well and realistically, especially when one of the love interests is made unattractive to most people for whatever reason, so I really thought I was going to like this story. It sounded quite intriguing and the cover was genius. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.Overall, "Crazy Beautiful" was written well. Lucius sounded, well, like a boy, which is a good sign considering he is, in fact,
Crazy Beautiful starts with Lucius telling us about himself and the situation he is in which is followed by Aurora telling us about hers. The chapters in the book keep alternating between Lucuis and Aurora. Each perspective moves the story along and doesnt allow it to get stuck in just one scene.The story actually starts on their first day of school. For the brief moment that they make eye contact in the school bus, Aurora and Lucius are connected. Immediately, Lucius wishes to protect her from

http://octopedingenue.dreamwidth.org/...Crazy Beautiful by Lauren Baratz-Logsted is the most giftedly bad book I have read in the past year and possibly ever, and if you fail to acknowledge its disastrous triumph, I will punch you in the spleen.Or rip out said spleen: with my HOOKS FOR HANDS!( Efronshop here: http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9699... )Aurora Belle is a beautiful dark-haired beauty with a soul that is as pure and beautiful as her complexion.

Giving your main character hooks for hands is a dirty trick. It made me hold out hope for this damn book until the end but it was hopless.Terrible and slow and amateurish and......fucking hook hands! I fall for it every time!
I devoured this book. Crazy Beautiful is one of those books you want to curl up and read in one sitting. The cover is gorgeous, but I was expecting a more intense story I think with older characters. (The characters are 15) Instead, we get a look at a sweet story of love and friendship between two fractured people. Lucius experimented with chemicals from school and caused an explosion which cost him his hands. He's chosen hooks and has set himself up to be an outcast at school-which he is,
