Synopsis
From
bestselling author Anne Rice, writing as A.N. Roquleaure. In the traditional
folktale of '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. It is an
ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the
mind's unconscious. Now 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. Here the Prince reawakens Beauty, not with a kiss,
but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of
enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him as Anne Rice
explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes,
with her skillful pen, a compelling experience.
My Overall Impression of the Book
All
I can say is WTH!! Are you freaking kidding me...This book is not for everyone at
all. I was so disappointed and
disgusted with this book. I am all about pleasure and pain and good erotica. I am in no way a prude, but this book is
almost sickening. I do not mean to be
offensive to those that liked the book, but this book is not about passion...it
is about cruelty. It was sadistic and I cannot believe I actually read it all
the way through. I love a good trilogy, but cannot fathom reading the next two
books.
I should have known better when
the Prince awakened Beauty by raping her, which is really what he did. I don't
care what spin you put on it. She was a
sex slave and there was nothing sensual about it. And how many spankings can be
in one book. It was just waaaayyyy to much!!
I can’t get any more detailed in this review. Read this book at your own risk….
