Breaking Point

Je suis un monstre. Pourtant, autrefois, j'étais le type parfait : grand, beau, riche et... atrocement méchant. Je n'aimais que moi et c'est pour cela qu'un sort m'a été jeté. Je suis devenu une bête difforme, velue, monstrueuse. Il me reste deux ans pour être aimé d'une jeune fille, sinon... Ceci n'est pas un conte de fée. Mon histoire prend place aujourd'hui, en plein coeur de New York. J'espère que quelqu'un va venir à mon secours.

Sortilège

I am a beast.A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

Kyle, jeune New-Yorkais de 16 ans, est beau et riche... mais terriblement arrogant ! Un affreux défaut qui, un jour, lui coûte cher : une jeune sorcière, dont il a eu le tort de se moquer, lui jette un sortilège pour qu'il se transforme en monstre bestial. Devenu aussi horrible à l'extérieur qu'il l'est à l'intérieur, il est chassé par son père qui ne le supporte plus. Quant à ses amis, impossible de se montrer à eux ainsi ! Contraint de quitter sa vie confortable, il s'enferme dans une maison de Brooklyn, avec pour seule compagnie la bonne et un jeune répétiteur aveugle. Kyle a cependant une chance de défaire le sortilège : il a deux ans pour se faire aimer d'une jeune fille qu'il aura séduite par sa bonté et qui acceptera de l'embrasser en dépit de sa laideur.
