Interpretation As Books Briar Rose

A dark and sexy reimagining of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale from the author of THE DEMON TRAPPERS.

For Briar Rose, life is anything but a fairy tale. She's stuck in a small town in deepest Georgia with parents who won't let her out of their sight, a bunch of small-minded, gossiping neighbours and an evil ex who's spreading nasty rumours about what she may or may not have done in the back of his car. She's tired of it all, so when, on her sixteenth birthday, her parents tell her that she is cursed and will go to sleep for a hundred years when the clock strikes midnight, she's actually kind of glad to leave it all behind. She says her goodbyes, lies down, and closes her eyes . . . And then she wakes up. Cold, alone and in the middle of the darkest, most twisted fairy tale she could ever have dreamed of. Now Briar must fight her way out of the story that has been created for her, but she can't do it alone. She never believed in handsome princes, but now she's met one her only chance is to put her life in his hands, or there will be no happy ever after and no waking up.

Crit Of Books Briar Rose
Briar lives in a really small town, playing out enactments of old war scenes. Apart from that, nothing really ever happens, unless you count your best friend nearly drowning years ago. Early on, it becomes clear that Briar and Josh used to be best friends until their families forbade them from seeing each other. Since that day, they have stayed away from each other, even if they didnt want to. I loved being introduced to Briars life and her friends, who were pretty fabulous. However, it was also

My review on Briar Rose is a little up and down because I didn't actually finish it. I got this book for Christmas and I just couldn't read past the halfway point. I think if you're not enjoying a book by this point you should move on...a bit like relationships in that manner (but that's a different matter!) but, I just couldn't form a connection to Briar at all! I don't want to sound mean but she is definitely too interested in boys and I feel a little sorry for Joshua, him I found more of a

I requested a review copy of Briar Rose because it sounded really awesome. I love fairytale retellings, and Briar Rose had all the makings of one that I could really fall in love with. Unfortunately, I didnt fall in love with it.Im not really sure what it is about Briar Rose that didnt reach out to me. But I just felt very detached from the book overall.Since Briar Rose was written from the third perspective, which jumped from character to character without any warning, I felt it was difficult

This is such a great fairy tale. I had quiet high hopes for this book and it's only got OK reviews, but I found it really charming. Although the story is called Briar Rose and it's about a golden hair lovely that falls into a cursed sleep the similarities end there. This isn't a retelling it's a totally new fairy tale one that has Princes and Princess, magic, danger and even a Pegasus! The lead character Briar I really like because I saw so much of myself in her (cupcake loving girl waiting to

I enjoyed this re-telling of Sleeping Beauty very much, loving the Southern Gothic elements, dreams and use of hoodoo. However, if my parents had named me Briar and my surname was Rose then I'd be a little worried even before there were murmurings of curses and everyone being skittish about my forthcoming birthday. So yes, for a while Briar seems oblivious to the way in which her life is mirroring one of her favourite fairy tales. The small town Southern USA setting with a protagonist who ached

No compensation was given or taken to alter this review.After all the praises I heard from The Demon Trappers, I was truly convinced that Briar Rose would be an outstanding read. However, that was not the case.Briar Rose has been obsessed with fairy tales from a young age--however she does not live in one. With her parents following her every move, and not letting her go anywhere near the

Wow, there goes my fantastic run for books at the start of 2014. I was struggling from the beginning, because I felt that the characters were entirely detached from the situation, at least emotionally. Oh, there's a random curse floating about, determined to fell Briar? Why is it all the characters ask if it's real, and when another character confirms it, suddenly it's a know thing? Just because someone tells you something crazy you generally don't instantly believe them. The writing annoyed me
