Story of O

review 1: Although the subject itself is very interesting (the different layers of psychology and sexuality) and the historic perspective the book is set against, the story itself is rather dull and very repetitive. This repetitiveness makes this a very, very, very boring read. It's also written in long, complicated sentences, which are anything but enjoyable. Reage describes objects and instruments and postures in such a way it's hard to imagine them and how it must look like.
review 2: It's the first time in my whole life that I don't know how to describe my feelings about a book. I must apoliogize from the very beginning about my English (I studied English as an option in school so please don't judge me). Truthfully during my reading at first I was schocked by O's be... morehavior and how easy she was (you may say that I'm just a kid and those books should not be read by a kid but you must be ascertained that I'm an adult ). In the end of the book I was jumbled up.. I could not understand weather O loved Réne or Sir Stephen, weather Réne loved her or not, weather she loved her freedom or her submission. I was also wondering why didn't she just leave Sir Stephen ; was it because of her love for Réne or because she loved what they was doing to her and how they were treating her? was it exciting for her? or maybe because she felt like she didn't deserve her freedom ? I just don't know. I'm not narrow-minded but I can't tolerate the idea of women being used and abused this way.. maybe this is the reason why I didn't love the book. I mean yes I really liked the way it was written and the characters but I couldn't love it anyway. less

I found it quite hard understanding how the story went through to this book. It may be because it was written decades ago, so the style of writing is quite difficult to understand. There are a lot of sentences which are too long, that I just get lost somewhere in the middle.In terms of the story, if you're looking for BDSM novels, this is one book to put on your list. BDSM acts are much more intense than of Fifty Shades trilogy.
