Book Review This paper is a book review. To be more specific, this is a book review about a book called, “Beautiful Creatures”; written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. I’ve read this book quite a few times, this most likely won’t be the last, and the thesis of the story was made very clear the first time: Who, or what, really controls your fate? Everything in the book revolves around that one word and statement… fate. From the beginning, right to the very end; whether partially or wholly, it’s all about fate. Now, I could go on and on over the plot of the story, but I’ll keep it as simplified as possible. It all starts with a small town boy named Ethan Wate, falling in love with the new, and very different girl in town, Lena Duchannes. In his growing relationship with Lena, Ethan gets tangled up in a world inside of his own, one filled with magic, curses, people called Casters, and all sorts of “magical” things. He tries his best to fight off a curse that’s been passed down from generation to generation, turning almost every 16-year-old Duchannes child into a sinister Dark Caster… including Lena. But while they try to fight off Lena’s possible fate, many people, and things, stand in their way. They both put up a good fight, and in …show more content…
The thing about the characters in “Beautiful Creatures” is that no matter what their role in the story is, no matter whether they’re the high school brat or the most evil of Dark Casters, everyone has something all of their own. Heck, even the fat local truant officer has great characterization! So, while Ethan is the main character/narrator, and Lena the next most important character, you don’t just have interest in those two characters alone. There’s a large variety of amazing, original characters gathered around Ethan and Lena, and I love them
