Product Description
Product Description
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.
Ingram
Considered a classic, this work is worthy to stand beside the best writings of the Marquis de Sade. This is an ironic and mystical tale of unfreedom that transcends the pornographic and even the erotic.

Wow--what a read!,
By
This review is from: Story of O (Mass Market Paperback)
This book certainly isn't for the faint-hearted, as one reviewer noted. However, it is a book that really goes into detail about sexuality, more specifically, what a BDSM relationship entails--when it goes to the extreme. There isn't much light-hearted stuff in here, it's mostly about O and Sir Stephen and the lenghts they will go to see how far they can push. In the end, this book can probably either gross you out or open you eyes. I found it did a little of both for me. Along with it, I also suggest another (lighter) BDSM book, "Breaking the Girl" and "Carrie's Story".

A Great Disappointment.,
By Amy (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Story of O (Mass Market Paperback)
To give this book any more than two stars would be a mere act of pity. This book is more a psychological study of a disturbed woman, and a bunch of extremely domineering males than any sort of erotic tale. I was far too busy wondering when she was going to grab the riding crop and beat Rene and Sir Stephen until they cried for her mercy to get any sort of enjoyable sexual charge out of this story. I also found the writing style to be extremely redundant, and the "plot" to be no more than a series of the same beatings and sexual mistreatments in different settings. And the issues above are nothing compared to the fact that they cut off the ending. You don't get to find out what happens to O, much less poor little Natalie, an impressionable fifteen-year-old who is sucked into this world by Sir Stephen. The summary of the missing conclusion is one sentence long. I think that speaks to the importance the book places on any sort of plotline. As I said, a great disappointment.

Shocking,
By Page (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Story of O (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book 2 years ago and found it very profound. It has stayed with me and I consider it a classic. The main character gives up herself completely to her lover to lose him and eventually find personal ruin. The attraction I had to this book was not in the eroticism but in the shocking ways O, gave in to her lover. O, becomes the ultimate sex object but in the most humiliating way. This book is a worthwhile experience, you'll never be the same after reading it.
