The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
Get divulged into a world where dominance and utter submission are not only accepted, but expected. If you would like to read a book about princes and princesses being subdued used as toys, this book is right up your alley. It is eloquently written and is very easy to get caught up in.
Sexual events no more than 3 pages apart. Well written and easy to read. Lovable characters.
May be too S&M for some.

Reading this book is not unlike reading the blog of some girl you knew in high school who turns out to have a creepy fetish that disturbs you in a way that when you see her in line at the grocery store you feel embarrassed FOR her. Anne fucked this one up, and the next one, and then churned out a third book. Claiming is the only somewhat decent book of the series, and it's still pretty bad.
hard core BSDM spanking erotica
terrible writing, lacks depth, repetitive.

This book is worth a read because it shows in a fascinating way that BDSM and fetish aren't necessarily bad things. Plus, it's just an interesting read for those of us who are into the lifestyle, myself included.
Attention-grabbing, Erotica, Written by a well known Author

This book is erotic literature at it's best. Better than a summer read or a dime-store novel this book basically wines and dines you and then treats you to a night of amazing "me time". I recommend this book to anyone who can read.
Beautifully written, incredibly erotic sex and teasing chapters, an addicting story line, trilogy.
Book 2 in the series slows down a bit.

I think that this book is worth the price. I like spanking stories and this is definitely one of them. I wish it were a little bit longer and all in one volume.
Quick read, Sexy
Have to buy 3 books for whole story

If you have never read Anne Rice's books other than her horror, then I think this should be on your list to read. Even if you hate it, it still should be experienced. Approached with an open mind, it can be a fun, informative read with a deeper meaning to be found.

To be honest, I don't even know what to say about this one. I am a huge Anne Rice fan, but this isn't my cup of tea. It is probably because I'm not all that interested or turned on by BDSM. Rice usually will mix an ample amount of erotica in her chronicles, but this was excessive for my tastes. At the turn of every page was the account of some sadomasochism, physical as well as mental degradation, bondage and punishment. I'd pass on the Sleeping Beauty unless you're into that sort of stuff.
Interesting spin on a classic fairy tale, Well-written
A bit repetitive, Dull at times, Extreme

I did not find this book exciting, and in fact skipped or skimmed many sections to get to the good stuff. I like the fairy-tale-turned-dirty concept, but the story didn't have enough raw, dirty sex for me.
Descriptive, somewhat interesting story
Slow-moving, not dirty enough. Not my kind of writing style

Not amazing but... Not terrible. It is a fun, kinky world to read about and enjoy for what it is. Plus it is a fabulous twist on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale we all know.
Quick read.
Crummy writing style.

Amazing Book! Simply amazing. If you like bdsm erotica fiction this is most assuredly the book for you. It's written in amazing detail, and I like that it's set in the past. It would be great for a historical fiction fan who wants an erotic twist. Rice is amazing at what she does, and this is some of her best work. The twisting of the classic story into bdsm erotica is simply genius and she writes it to where you feel like you know the inner workings of the characters.
Great read and leaves you wanting more.
It's quite short. Comes in three parts.

If you're tired of the same vanilla erotica and you're ready for something edgy, dark, and want to dip your toe in the BDSM waters, this book will take you there. Anne Rice, a novelist with a penchant for writing books that draw in readers who want that edge, is brilliant in her version on this classic tale, as told to adult readers looking for a devious, dark, delicious bedtime story.
A brilliant introduction to the Sleeping Beauty series, excellent fodder for the deviant mind.
Nothing I can think of, this is a true classic.

This is a good beginner erotic book. A recognizable author that shocks you a bit, but still within the realm of light fetish.
Light and fun and often arousing. Not a hard read at all.
Quite unrealistic, and sometimes outright laughable.

Naughty version of the classic Sleeping Beauty tale. BDSM fantasy about a princess who is taught how to both control her desires and give in to them.
Nice introduction into BDSM, very colorful imagery
Not for those that like only vanilla sex, not as much detail as the rest of the series

This is a good book for a bit of fantasy reading. It is not meant to be taken for reality and does not portray the master/slave relationship in a realistic, sane, or even legal way.
Well written and easy to read.
Very graphic and dangerously violent scenes that can border on torture.

A beautifully written, engaging story that intertwines erotica with an interesting plot and complex characters. The book doesn’t provide a series of masturbatory fantasies, but it does offer readers ample food for thought about the nature of submission and the content of our fantasies.
wonderful writing, complex characters, interesting plot
sex is so commonplace that it loses its ability to titillate

Arousing Suspicion
useful
A tantalizing fantasy of a spoiled princess as she struggles to let go of her ego and cope with her unexpected desire to please. Not to be taken as a realistic view of consensual BDSM.
Beautifully written fantasy, Erotic and arousing
Some sections seem to drag on, unrealistic non-consensual scenes could turn people away from BDSM

An adult story of Sleeping Beauty as she is awakened by her Prince and taken to a sort of slave boarding school to learn to be a better Queen.
Ann Rice is very descriptive in her explanation of scenes which lends to good mental visuals.
The story does not engage concern for characters. Unrealistic torture. Flowery BDSM content.
