If you enjoy Anne Rice's style of very sensuous, evocative prose, you'll like this erotic novel. It is mild in comparison to her Sleeping Beauty trilogy, with more emphasis on loveâ"it's a romance novel with mostly straight vanilla sex, with a small amount of the BDSM narrative she perfected with Beauty. The references she makes to music and fashion give the story a dated feel. It bears very little resemblance to the 1994 film (definitely in the book's favor).
