Synopsis
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.

Reviews
I skipped two whole chapters in this book, to be honest. I skipped over the chapters where Beauty's love interest I can't remember his name describes his torturous days in a kitchen where he goes into detail about how horrible it was. There were some things in the book that seriously caused me to shudder. I couldn't think about some of the things I was reading too much because it was a little overly sick. The thing is, Anne Rice honestly doesn't know that much about BDSM-- or kink-- and this could've been written so much better. The Hall of Punishments was so far-fetched that I couldn't even read it without giggling. The torturous things would've killed the people there in an hour, they definitely couldn't have hung there for days and days on end. The books has some great kinky spots, the first chapter is alright. Other than that, skip over a lot of it, because some of it is downright sick.
This was the most horrible book I have ever read. I can handle a little erotica but this was down right demented. If you're into that kind of thing then fine, but be aware what you are getting yourself into.
