This was not what I was hoping for when I ordered a book full of erotic fairy tales. That said, I have found it to be intriguing. It offers a new twist on traditional stories. If your looking for something with explicit language and is quite erotic this book probably won't satisfy. If you prefer having things more implied or if you are more interested in the history of fairy tales you will probably enjoy this book.

While this book is very informative for the fairy tale reader in me, it lacked eroticism. I honestly don't understand how it got onto Eden. This book has all your favorites and I promise you will learn more from the origin summary than you ever thought you would, but this book is definitely not masturbating material. 2 stars because I did learn so much about my favorite stories.

I am on the fence. I liked it but to me it is just not erotic enough. My husband liked it more for the educational info. I want a bit more descriptiveness in my stories. It is good for those who are just beginning to read erotica.

In Sleeping Beauty's Bed by Mitzi Szereto is a wonderful of beloved fairy tales with an erotic twist thrown in. The author presents each protagonist as touchingly innocent and yet open to the bawdy, erotic adventure that befalls them. The language isn't raw, or graphic but still the reader is able to discern what is really going on.

In Sleeping Beauty's Bed in a nice collection of eroticized fairy tales that just manage to miss the mark, somehow, and come off as quirky rather than sexy.

This book is an entertaining combination of authentic fairy tales re-written for adults, and a literary study on fairy tales in general. It's very well-written over all, but if you are looking for straightforward graphic sex scenes you'll be disappointed. This is the kind of book where you have to turn your mind away from looking for blatant sex scenes and let your imagination find them.

In Sleeping Beauty's Bed isn't your conventional erotica. It's a collection of fairy tales that were given an adult twist - and given that twist well. As an erotica book it does poorly, but as a book understood in its own genre, it's a fun read.

In Sleeping Beauty's Bed is a collection of erotic re-imaginings of classic fairy tales, accompanied by a history and background on the origin of each story. While it may not be particularly thrilling for those seeking outright erotic and vividly sexual writing, it would be very well suited for those just beginning to read erotica that are looking for a softer introduction to the genre while not being bored by the same old sexual scenarios.

Adapted adult literary fairytales will not be everyone's niche. However if it fits into a niche that you would find yourself enjoying I would recommend this collection in a heartbeat. So please note that my rating is based solely off of my preference for it, not how much it will fit you.

The loose descriptions heightens the erotic element for me. I would recommend this for fantasy readers who want to spice up their imaginations, and their nightlife.
