  <default_description>Rice writing as A. N. Roquelaure.  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;In the traditional folk tale &quot;Sleeping Beauty,&quot; 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.</default_description>

I totally dig trashy, nasty, dirty romance novels, especially the ones that use ridiculous words like tumescent, which is what I expected this book to be--with a fairy tale context. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31677774">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ok, so, there was a time that I wanted to read Anne Rice. I liked &quot;Interview&quot; (the movie) enough to give the book a go. Luckily, I picked up this book first... <br/><br/>There's some anal sex in here. There is not just like some anal sex, no, there is ANAL SEX!!!!!

    <body><![CDATA[I sort of enjoyed this book.  The whole thing seemed a little gimmicky.  I have never found Anne Rice to be a particularly good writer.  Her prose is stilted (and yes, here it is acceptable to a certain extent, as she is mimicking the fairy tale form).  It came off as a little bit flat.  There are a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12682390">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What I liked about the book was the idea of an erotic twist to a fairy tale. But what unfolded was a story of random public humiliation, bondage, and torture.<br/>What I didn't like was the way the story fizzled less than half-way through the book, there was so much potential for this to be a great...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48901983">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just finished Anne Rice's &quot;Sleeping Beauty: The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty&quot;. The novel is very descriptive and not bad. I have to admit to there being little &quot;developing&quot; plot line to follow. The book is about the Princess Beauty's rough introduction to the world of submission...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45258699">more...</a>]]></body>
