Bondage Blog: Spank Beauty Some More!

While searching for something else on Google, I came across this Bondage Blog assessment of the “Beauty” books by Anne Rice. Specifically, Rope Guy doesn’t think Beauty got enough spankings:

My own problem with the books is that Beauty never displays any discernible character or will. She’s a very desirable flesh puppet for three whole books, posing where she’s told, doing what she’s told with pussy lips well thrust out for public viewing. If she has any motivations, they are kept secret from the reader. When she simply must be shown to take some initiative, it’s portrayed as an impulse, a whim, or an uncontrollable urge. She’s so passive, it’s as if she never actually woke up from her hundred years of cursed sleep when The Prince porked her silly. Reading the books, I got so bored with her state of passive apprehensiveness and wholly unexplained desire to please a bunch of dominant folks who never give her any reason to care about their good opinion, that I found myself going “please oh please, would somebody please tie her up again, or give her another spanking, or find some creative way to torment her? Because eventually she’s got to react to something!”

Too many spankings? Hell, I don’t think she got enough!

    I had the exact same experience with those books. The first chapter or two were fascinating because, hey, how often do you see a semi-mainstream novel with such a large spanking angle.

    But very quickly I’d find myself skimming through the sex or spankings to get to dialogue, then just as quickly thinking “God, this is terrible, can we get back to the sex yet?” That’s actually a pretty keen analysis.
