Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This is ORIGINAL ending to The Story Of O; and more tidbitsThe book was cut into two parts by the publisher withoutPauline Reage's knowledge. I have read several other reviews by otherreaders here on Amazon, and just wanted to add some info andimpressions. History-wise, "Reage" was a very well knownwoman, a feminist in France in the 50s. She died within the last tenyears. There is a full-length book interview with her that I own thatis out of print, published when the book was first re-released in theUSA in the 70s... quite fascinating. So, to clarify, ... Read More Rating:  - Help me, please!As far as I know, this is not the original ending to Story of O. In the original, O commits suicide when she finds out her master has abandoned her. I cannot find the original for anything. (Granted, I haven't tried too terribly hard, but...) I would greatly appreciate any leads or information. The original French is fine. Email me: love_erni@yahoo.com More on the topic, I agree, this version bites. In the intro, the *author* gives a disclaimer: she doesn't think the same way she used ... Read More Rating: - A big disappointmentHaving read The Story of O and found it to be rich in description and intensely erotic I was totally disappointed by the sequel which was neither. Being a double spaced this book was also a lot less material for the money. It built to nothing and did little to grow the character of O. As others will be curious enough to buy and read the book anyway because of its heritage I can't blame them for it, but warn that they will be just as disappointed as I was. Rating: - Disappointing.After searching for this book for so long, I finally found it - unfortunately. I guess there was nothing left to do after the Story Of O. Absolutely nothing happens in this book. The writing style doesn't even seem the same. You are much better off getting The Passive Voice by G.C. Scott. That book is written in the style of the Story Of O only not quite as dark. Rating:  - just a suggestionHrm, i was thinking about reading this one, as a sequel to O, but i think i'll go with the "New Story of O" instead... which covers O becoming a Domme (or Mistress, if you prefer) and is similar with Crepax's Story of O, Volume III (lovely artwork and interpretation in the Crepax series as well, all three volumes)... |
