* 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. - from Barnes & Noble
My cousin gave me more than 1,000 ebooks yesterday. The Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice is one of them. A few years ago, another cousin of mine told me that this series by Anne Rice is very intriguing. It is an erotica. Intriguing, alright. So when I was browsing through the ebooks this afternoon, I decided to read it.
Wrong move. I couldn't believe that I wasted time reading an utterly boring book. I know that this book was written decades ago but if you're one of those people who haven't read it yet, I suggest that you're better off reading some thing else. The story is so dull I didn't bother finishing it. There are two more books (coz it's a trilogy) but I wouldn't waste time reading them. It may be an erotica, but all the characters did was spank the butts of the sex slaves. Page after page, that's all I ever read. I guess this is not a good work by Anne Rice (in my opinion, anyway).
I might as well stop now so as not to repeat myself like Anne Rice did in this book. Seriously. What a dull book.
Rating: 1/5
