Book Reviews of Beauty's Punishment (Sleeping Beauty)
Book Review: The Second Book of three in a great series
Summary: 5 Stars
As I read some of the reviews, I was taken back by the few people who said that this book was "Boring", or "Not what I expected", I think that if your an avid Ann Rice reader and know her work just the thought that she was writing a three part bondage, torture and discipline series centered on "Sleeping Beauty"? Come on people. This was one of the best Ann Rice series I have ever read in all my years. In fact this three book adventure is truly what made me a lifetime Ann Rice Fan.
I remember when I first started to read the first book, I was so taken by it and so captured by the very fact that Rice could've taken a childhood figure like Sleeping Beauty, and put her right in the middle of this very sensual sexual fairy-tail story was enough to make me never want to put it down, I was given the 1st book as a gift when I was a Paramedic at an amusement Park in the North East, and I took it to work with me everyday and read as much of it as I could, at times only reading just 1/2 a page because we were so busy, but I had to read it, even if it was that little bit of it for the day, I just had to know or at least get closer to knowing, what was going to happen next to "Sleeping Beauty". My co-workers at some point noticed that I was a very attentive reader, and were always asking me, what I was reading. I finally told a couple of them about the book and after reading a few snippets from the book to them, I was asked to start from the beginning and read aloud to them, and that was the beginning of what we called back then, "Story Time" with Tony.....
Once I finished the 1st book in the series, (which was the only one I got as a gift), I went crazy going from book store to book store, trying to find the next and last books. Not to mention that everyday I showed up for work without the books, my co-workers got angry at me and insisted I spend more time looking for the other books. Then one day I arrived to work, ready to be yelled at for still not finding the 2 final books, and to my surprise, there next to my desk, was a large floor lamp, with a very fluffy comfy chair and a small table just off to the side of them... and on that table sat 2 brand new books. My partner had found the 2 final books of the Sleeping Beauty adventures for me, and all my coworkers had set up an area for me, so that I was comfortable while I did our Story Time, and finished the next and last books in this series. Again, a very hot story about a childhood princes, who many wanted to bed anyway. So thank you Ann Rice, for another great set of books and I look forward to another set like these someday I hope.....
Summary of Beauty's Punishment (Sleeping Beauty)
This sequel to The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, the first of Anne Rice's elegantly written volumes of erotica, continues her explicit, teasing exploration of the psychology of human desire. Now Beauty, having indulged in a secret and forbidden infatuation with the rebellious slave Prince Tristan, is sent away from the Satyricon-like world of the Castle. Sold at auction, she will soon experience the tantalizing punishments of "the village," as her education in love, cruelty, dominance, submission, and tenderness is turned over to the brazenly handsome Captain of the Guard. And once again Rice's fabulous tale of pleasure and pain dares to explore the most primal and well-hidden desires of the human heart.
