Editorial Review:
The classic erotic novel, THE 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 pychological tests. It is a unique work not to be missed.

Rating:  - Liberated Me from my Guilt over Wanting to Hurt Women
This is perhaps the best book I've ever read. For years I have had fantasies of torturing and abusing women. I used to feel guilty about this. But after reading this masterpiece, I now realize that women actually want to be tortured and abused, even if they cry and resist at first. It must be something inherent to the entire gender, I guess? Anyways, the good news is I no longer feel guilty. Thanks, Pauline Reage! You've changed my life.

Rating: - Is it hot in here?

Trained at the château Roissy, graduated into her lover's personal care, and then gifted by René to an even more dominant master, O journeys through slavery--at first happy only to please her lover, O eventually becomes proud of her identity as a willing slave. Balancing scenes of O's slavery with introspection into O's evolving thought, desire, and motivation, The Story ... Read More
Rating:  - Simply Painful
Years ago I read a Vanity Fair article about this new "hot" book - One Hundred Strokes of the Brush Before Bed by Melissa P - a supposedly true story of the sexual awakening of a 15 year old Italian girl. While searching for it online I read a review which recommended The Story of O instead as real erotica. Intrigued - especially since I had, of course, heard of Story of O as a "classic" and a somewhat naughty book with an infamous reputation - not unlike another French novel I love, Lolita, I also purchased ...
