5.0 out of 5 stars Sleeping Beauty Awakens, 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
Sleeping Beauty awakens to find Prince Charming is taking her to his castle not to make her his wife but take her through an adventure which makes her subject to the whims of the countless inhabitants of his castle. Her adventures continue when she visits the local village in the second novel and is abducted and taken to a Sultan's castle in the third. But in the end her greatest adventure is finding true love.

I read all three of Ann Rice's Sleeping Beauty novel's, and almost every other book she's ever written. I loved her other books because of the sensual, erotic way in which she writes. When I bought the trilogy, I never imagined I would encounter the best erotic fiction I have ever read. I loved the Trilogy. I would highly recommend it to anyone with an open mind, however if you are not, then read at your own risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars well, it certainly ain't disney!, 14 Nov 2002
By A Customer
as someone who works in an adult store, i've seen my fair share of erotica. i've seen the repetative, boring movies. i've read the flimsy fiction in mags. but it wasn't until i read these books that i realised how erotic erotica could be!

so they're not for the faint-hearted, (if the idea of bondage puts you off, maybe read something else). this is no wishy-washy, rose-tinted tale! this is an honest, laid bare look at the most primal of our desires.

the story follows Beauty through her 'development' from girl to woman. we feel her pleasure, her desire, her frustration, her lust... and all the while the book is peppered with fantastic imagery of locations, of people, (and of gizmos).

like sleeping beauty, open your eyes to the world for the first time. read these books and never look back!

5.0 out of 5 stars more than just an erotic story, 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
For an adult who likes fantasy and erotic literature, this is truly the series of choice. I have never read such a colorful and well written work of this nature. Anne is an expert at expressing the nuances of the characters and settings in this series, and really fuels the imagination with her writing style. Not a read for the weak-at-heart, but for those who can appreciate something much more than your everyday sex story. It is so unusual for a sexual fantasy to be written in such a colorful way and taken beyond anything you could have expected, (into novel form) but if you are open to reading this unique trilogy, you will wonder why more adult fiction of this caliber is not available, and will wish that more would be written!
