Book Reviews of The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
Book Review: disappointed and disturbed- NOT was I was looking for
Summary: 2 Stars
I picked up this book because I was looking for some erotica and I am fan of Anne Rice's other work, however I was extremely disappointed. As other reviewers have said, the "spanking" was so redundant it was annoying, the plot was non-existent and the narrative was only so-so.
Most importantly I was NOT aware when I bought this novel that it was so strongly S&M, nonconsensual acts etc. Some people may enjoy those fantasizes(as fantasizes ONLY) however, pain, the threat of infliction of pain and explict descriptions of forced sexual activity do NOT arose me in the slightest. Unless you are a fan of S&M I do not suggest you purchase this book.
Summary of The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
Rice writing as A. N. Roquelaure.In the traditional folk tale "Sleeping Beauty," the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. Anne Rice's retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire.
