Book Review: Briar Rose

Last night I finished reading Briar Rose by Robert Coover. I didn't really get it through most of the book until I got to the end and realized that the entire was Postmodern. To get more details on what Postmodernism really is, click here. Because of this, it was frustrating and enlightening. The whole book is from the view point of Sleeping Beauty and what she dreams her prince will be like when he finally comes to her rescue. As a child, Sleeping Beauty was my favorite Disney movie, but I'd have to say that this book definitely wasn't my favorite. Reading something that is never definitive can be very frustrating to say the least.
