• Almost Tame By Today's Standards
24 February, 2010
It is hard to believe in this day and age that O does what she does - giving herself so completely over to a lover. I am still not sure what her motivations were. The story is quite choppy and I can imagine that it was risqué when first published, but it is almost tame compared to what one can see online today.

• It Left Me Thinking
14 August, 2009
I really enjoyed this book. It left me thinking about the story for days after. After I read the book I have loaned it to 2 friends already to read as well. In a sense I could relate to O. But, I think I have more boundaries then she did. It just makes you see how far some will go for love. And I had to keep in mind when it was wrote and how conservative people lived back then. I would recommend this book to others as well. It let your imagination run wild.

• One Woman's Fantasy
26 January, 2010
In a nutshell, this book is really sexy if you share the author's fantasy, and really boring if you don't. It's endlessly repetitive, and there's no plot or real characterization; in fact, nothing happens in this book, other than the constant sex and abuse. If you're just looking for a competently-written story about a girl getting sexed up and treated poorly by a succession of masters, you'll love this book. Otherwise, your time would be better spent on erotica that does cater to your tastes.

• A Classic Erotic Tale Of Complete Submission.
28 August, 2009
This is a classic for a reason and the reason is because this thing is intense. And I don't throw that word around a lot. The Story of O begins with O meeting and falling for Sir Stephen. Well, at the chateau, that is. The story really draws the reader in with this romantic setting, but the end result is far from romantic, in my own opinion. This isn't neceassrily a love story, so if that's what you're looking for, I don't think you will find it here. Instead, it's about totally giving yourself over to another. And that's intense. If you want a darker story, stick with this home. However, if you are looking for lighter fare, try Breaking the Girl and Eager to Please: Two Erotic Novels of Submission, which is also about bdsm.

• Not My Favorite Book
05 January, 2010
I didn't like this book as well as I thought I was going to. I was disappointed in the ending. It was very hard to read, jumping back and forth from English and French and points of time. A lot of imagination had to be used when the writer described things.
