The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A.N. Roquelaure, Anne Rice
1.0
Oh boy...what to say about this book....
I decided to read this story because I was curious as to what it was all about. Trust me, 50 Shades of Grey is nothing compared to this so called "retelling" of Sleeping Beauty. The characters are one dimensional and there is nothing in the story except sex, cruelty, pain and depravity. I found myself skimming a lot of the pages, because I couldn't bear some of the actions that were being described and I was getting bored with the book. The story got very repetitive and very tedious quickly. I doubt I will read the rest of the trilogy, I am no prude but this book just isn't for me.
