The question of the week is:
"Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?"
This is actually an easy question. I don't even know how I actually finished it, I guess I couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that Anne Rice had done such a bad job in my opinion. But the choice for me is "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" by A.N. Roquelaure (a.k.a. Anne Rice)
I've heard mixed reviews on this one.

Wow, you didn't like it? I guess it's one of those books that you either love or hate. I thought it was interesting to say the least. It was my first foray into erotica.

Man, there's a lot of books I haven't even heard of with this hop question. Well, it just lets me know which books to avoid.

Cruising on by with the 18 & Over.
ReplyDeleteSomeone else mentioned the same book (as worst.) I liked the Beauty trilogy personally. Now Rice's book Belinda, that is still the WORST book I have ever read. It's a 16 year old girl & a 50ish man.
@theJeepDiva - Belinda! I forgot about that one. You are right! That one is worst. My bad!
ReplyDeleteYou know I just didn't like the extreme slavery, humiliation, pain involved in the book. I know some people liked it. I've been scared to read the rest of the trilogy.
OMG we picked the same book this week!!! This book ruined erotic romance for me for a while but I'm glad I recovered!

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteLol, I actually remember reading The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty back in my early high school days. I actually read through the whole series and let me tell you, it didn't get any better. Beauty did get her HEA though.
Have a great weekend.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteSo... I don't like Anne Rice. A lot of people practically worship her and her books, but I don't like them. I tried them and I was bored so much. And then I heard about the crazy stuff she writes in some others. Yeah... I'm not even gonna try reading them.
I usually like Ann Rice, but I've heard this book is just not good at all. So it's not just you! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my IMM!

Hopping through. Anne Rice went by a false name? I wonder why. I've never read her books.
