Product Description

Book Description

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars UMMMMM...., Jun 25 2004

By	Robin M Goffinet (Richmond, IN United States) - See all my reviews

A perverted twist on the tale of Sleeping Beauty. She does not end up with a loving Prince Charming, oh no. The prince that has the privalage of waking her up enslaves her! He makes her do all kinds of stuff that's degrading IMO.

My god, if I were her, I would have totally kneed him where it counts. I am by no means a prude, but this book was so degrading I couldn't even finish it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Nov 12 2003

By	"artemis3679" (USA) - See all my reviews

I have read all three books in the Beauty series and they are a wonderful insight into one of our most primal instincts. The raw passion and fear is balanced by the lushness of the world she creates. Ultimately, Beauty is seduced by everything she sees and experiences. It's a wonderful series that I feel doesn't get as much attention as they deserve.
