Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty

A different Twist

2 years ago

This book will not be for everyone...it is not your typical bed time story...it is about going beyond the sexual imagination into a place many consider taboo. If you like something more riskier than the Story of O then this is a book for you...but remember that this book has sequels and you will need to buy them to finish the story

Not for Everybody

9 years ago

Sleeping Beauty with a twist! Anne Rice puts a different spin on the classic fairy tale.

This book is clearly a fantasy where the exploits of our heroine defy human capabilities so leave your sense of reality at the door.

Be advised that there is intense imagery here that delves into bondage, discipline and humiliation. No reader will leave unaffected; some will be aroused, some will be repulsed and the rest will fall somewhere in between.

This is the first in a trilogy… + read more

Erotic yet tasteful

9 years ago

I originally picked up this book because I like Anne Rice's writing. After reading it I am trying to get my hands on the second and third books to the series. It was erotice I guess, but done in such a way as not to be pornographic. I found it captivating from start to finish. I give it two thumbs up...way up.

its a whole new world..

for some of us Anne only writes what we already know, but she does it so beautifully, tantilizing your appetite for more- it was a must read for me-one I couldn't put down and when I did I wanted to get back to it as soon as possible so I could recapture what I had envisioned as I read...beauty is as sweet as she was in the fairy tale and she will capture your heart. It's a book about submission and dominance, the erotic, sensuous world of pain and pleasure...desires that awaken from with-in… + read more

An adventure.

10 years ago

Each page of The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty is painted with the vivid and sensual imagery that has become Anne Rice's trademark. Filled with sadistically erotic ideas that question conventional romance, this is a book that would, no doubt, make Sacher-Masoch proud. Unfortunately, the numerous episodes in which Rice pairs physical pain with spiritual pleasure get a little repetitive so that by the end the reader really doesn't care that much about the actual story and the outcome of its… + read more

Interesting . . .

10 years ago

If you think this is another Anne Rice book, think again. "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" is devoted to erotica and increasingly graphic sex (not all between people of different gender) so know what you are getting into. There is also a lot of sadism, but the author spreads it out equally between the genders so it may offend/turn off/turn on everybody (or nobody)equally. This was the first erotic novel I read, and although I didn't know what to think, it certainly stuck in my mind… + read more

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty

10 years ago

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty was the first erotic novel I read. The premise of the story begins where the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty left off – not many authors would have been able to pull this off. After reading the series it is extremely difficult to find anything that compares to Anne’s sense of style and sexuality. Tastefully done, this is one of the most intriguing, exciting and arousing series I have ever read. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in reading erotic… + read more
