The classic erotic novel, Story of O relates the love of a beautiful Parisian fashion photographer for Rene. As part of that intense love, she demands debasement and severe sexual and psychological tests. It is a unique work not to be missed.
Story of O
By paulinereage
I wasn’t impressed. It was translated from French, so the way it was worded made the story slightly confusing at times. But my main gripe was the plot; how the main character was treated and how she accepted it. Wasn’t my cup of tea, but I still saw the movie even though I didn’t care for the story line. I wouldn’t tell people not to waste their …
My first read of any BDSM, MASTER/SLAVE fiction and what an eye opener. This along with The Image and Anne Rice’s Beauty series are my favorites of the gendre. No namby pamby Mr. Grey for me thanks.
I hated this book. O is an idiot. She agrees to.go to an unknown place where unknown people can do whatever they like to her for however long they want to,and she cannot tell anyone. Theoretically she can refuse her new masters and leave, but it is implied that her lover will leave her if she does. This is is not how real life BDSM works and women …
A twisted sensual story of how far one young woman goes to please the man she loves, who she ultimately leaves behind, at his request.
Sexy
I only wish that the ending was more definitive, it leaves you feeling that there should be more than there is.
Basic
Totally not worth reading.
I know this is a classic story, but I was so heartbroken reading it. I hated the story, the treatment of the main character and felt depressed after reading it. I would never recommend it — only read it on a recommendation. Won’t be trusting that readers opinion again. The story was well written however.
It was good
Read it several times. Haven’t read it in about 20 yrs would like to read it again. Loved it. Also saw the movie, many years ago.
Very basic in some ways and the endings are anti-climatic.
It seems like it ended abruptly
I really liked this book. I couldn’t put it down!
French translated into English so if you can read French, get it that way. Lustful reading as you enter into a world of SM, Master/slave wrapped in a lovely story line. An inspiration for a lot of people over the years, a horror story to others.
This is the original. Decades before 50 shades. This is book that was banded and burned.
I did not like the non endimg. What happened to her? Was she just left ehond??
