Beauty's Punishment

Summary: The Beauty Trilogy - A Clever idea ... but falls short.
Review: Anne Rice was on the right track with her refreshing notion to put an erotic spin to a beloved fairy tale, yet unfortunately, fell short of my expectations. For instance, none of the characters' personalities ever quite fully developed, leaving little chance to connect with any of them. The story was flat with no spark, no passion, no ability to "feel" anything other than, "Oh, no! Not another spanking!" I give Anne 3 stars out of respect for her as an author and her clever approach, but there is so much more to erotica than beatings. For those of you who would truly love to experience erotica at it's best, I highly recommend Miranda Reigns' newly released novel, CyberWebs. Miranda's descriptive writing and vivid imagination will transport you into the heart of the story, allowing you to see, hear, smell, taste and feel all that Miranda does and has done to her.

Summary: Easily the best of Anne Rice's erotic
Review: I have been reading S&M erotica for the past 16 years and I have NEVER found any author that even comes close to her high level of literary or erotic quality. Not only does this book arouse, but it also smacks of realism. You feel as if you are REALLY there at the slave auction or the place of public punishment or the inn where Beauty is kept as a naked slave. Many S&M writers do a very poor and unprofessional job. Anne Rice is head and shoulders above ALL other writers in this genre. It is a shame that she has decided to never write any additional 'Sleeping Beauty' books or even S&M erotica of any setting. I weep over the fact that we must settle for the those writers of S&M erotica that do not have ONE HALF of her talent!

Summary: Kinky,, kinky,,Kinky..
Review: This book was very good,, Some scenes very interesting.. And very exciting!! Might be good in Reality!! Exciting for the sexually adventurous I read the entire triology and found it to be quite satisfying. It is full of s/m and other fetishes, however, the writing style diminishes what would normally be considered "offense" . I recommend it only to those who are not "straight-laced"

Summary: can't list it here!
Review: I read this book a few years ago. If you are offended by "somewhat" kinky literature, do not read this. This has s/m, bondage and fetish overtones (to say it mildly). I liked this book and I thought it was arousing!

Summary: This book is awesome& erotic!! It is one of my fav. books!
Review: I didn't want to put this book down. I could stay up for hours promising my self just one more chapter, knowing that I had to be up early. I kept saying to myself....Okay; this is the last chapter. Just get to the end of it and go to bed! It's very erotic and has lots of suspense. It's one of those stories where you say, "Ohmigod! What's gonna happen now?" I am ordering the sequel now. I can't wait to get it and start reading. Ann Rice can take you to a different world if ya let her. It's amazing. I actually felt like I was with Beauty...if not her myself. I reccomend this book to anyone out there that likes an erotic novel. *****

Summary: BRAVO ANN A TRUE CLASSIC OF EROTIC SENSUALITY
Review: "BRAVO" Ann Rice. . Finally an intelligent and passionate look into erotic delights. Practiced through the ages. S&M to be sure . But not the calous, insensitive beatings and floggings in other such works. But an erotic look at sensual and sexual spanking and domination. Couldn't put the books down . All three were spellbinding. Personal favorites: Where the prince has the bakers daughter. Take beauty over her knee and spank her in front of an audience. Also the spankings at court. Where multiple spankings were administered over the knee by not only pages but the queen herself No brutal whippings In my opinion this trillogy will be one of the great works for all time. Once again "BRAVO ANN'. Keep up the good work.

Summary: A Must-Read!
Review: I have fallen in love with all three of the Sleeping Beauty books, although this one is my favorite. As I read them the first time, I wondered when Anne would run out of new S&M ideas. She never did. An excellent book, not to be missed!

Rating:
Summary: It is the 2nd best in the series
Review: Of the three books in this exciting series, this is the second best. The third, by far is much better, and more interesting story-wise. I found I got tired of the same ol' S & M discriptions, over and over, and even began skipping pages at a time to find the story in this book. After the initial shock, giggling, and "can they really do that?" it's the story that propels the reader on. In this book, the story is ok, but not great.

Summary: Anne Rice's 'Beauty' series
Review: The works of Anne Rice in her series of books on 'Beauty' were very stimulating books to read. To read these books are a must, especially if you want to put some spice back into your life. These were by far the best books I've ever read because I couldn't stand to put them down at all. At the end of these books you are yearning to know more. Trust me, you won't be disappointed !

Summary: Better than the first, but still, the endless ass-whacking!
Review: This book was better than the first because the characters were better developed and more emotional and kinky than in the first book. But, why all of the endless ass-whacking. Anne did a good job with this one, but there's very little Sex and too much S&M
