4 out of 5 stars Compelling, sexy, dangerous and beautiful.   August 22, 2010
Michael (UK)
Well,... stumbled on this one a while ago and I suppose I've no choice but to call it pornography, but that sounds a bit low-brow. If there's such a thing as literary pornography, then this is where the story of O fits. You need to be open minded here - the themes of BDSM are adult in the extreme, but this story also touches the human condition. It will haunt you, it will arouse you, and and it will make you think. O will touch you! Truly a classic, and should be read by all open minded adults who are not afraid to venture over to the dark side.

Loved this book, just saddened that it ended so 'unfinished' and that the reviews for the follow up of this book are all pretty negative.

Bought this on my husband's recommendation - absolutely hated it! Story was boring and seemed to go nowhere!


1 out of 5 stars A grossly overrated classic   April 11, 2010

This is supposed to be one of the most important works of SM. Well, I love SM (or actually DS, to be precise; SM I merely read about), and I find this book pathetic. A woman is brought into a house by her boyfriend, where she is informed that she will be undergo training that consists of painful procedures like severe whipping. After completing her training, she would be released, but she would always have to obey all orders from a secret society's members who wear a certain secret sign. Then she is thoroughly whipped in spite of her cries and pleas.
What makes the book absurd is that the girl doesn't need to be trained to surrender - she is as tame as they come to begin with. Before she even enters that house, she already does anything her boyfriend tells her to. While being tied for whipping, she puts up no resistance. She expresses no protest against the whipping whatsoever. She only produces a sound when the pain becomes unbearable. That's not discipline, it's a joke.

You would be gravely mistaken to believe that "The Story of O" is about subjugating a woman. The book can only be of interest for the followers of the boring, politically correct, consnsual SM. It's totally worthless for a follower of Dominance&Submission.



5 out of 5 stars Dark, dangerous and compelling.   September 9, 2009

I didn't know what to expect with this read, The Story of O. I had heard about this erotic novel of bdsm for years before I took the plunge and I five it five stars because it is a classic novel that most everyone has heard of, if not read. Having said that, let me say that this is not your typical erotica. It goes much deeper than that and it is dark. I liked the story and was very drawn into it and had to keep reading, sometimes having my eyes almost pop out of my head. Without giving away any plotlines, I will say that O and Sir Stephen really have a wicked game of love, lust and submission and dominace. It's riveting, to say the least. I would also recommned Breaking the Girl and Eager to Please: Two Erotic Novels of Submission, which is a tad lighter than this.
