Product Description

Product Description

"The Return to the Chateau: Story of O" is widely acknowledged to be one of the most famous erotic novels of all time. Graham Greene described it as 'A rare thing, a pornographic book well written and without a trace of obscenity'. Harold Pinter called it 'A remarkable piece of work', while Brian Aldiss proclaimed 'I do believe that Pauline Reage has confounded all her critics and made pornography (if that is what it is) an art'. In "Story of O: Part II", O returns to the place of her initiation, an elegant chateau outside Paris, where she submits completely to the sexual whims of one man, her lover. "Story of O" is also available from Corgi Books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Talk about an anti climax, 3 Feb 2002
The 'Story of O' fasinated, enthralled, disturbed and aroused me. I was hoping for more of the same. In 'Return to the Chateau' however, Reage seems to have abandoned O to the whims of the mostly absent Sir Stephen. He returns her to the place of her initiation, alone this time, to be prostituted and cry herself to sleep each night. I so wanted her devotion to be rewarded - but maybe a true submissive does not even hope for that? Is this the point Reage wants us to see? I'd make a terrible subbie I think.

1.0 out of 5 stars A poor relation to the superbly written 'Story of O' part I, 28 Feb 2000
By A Customer
I first read 'The story of O' as a newwcomer to the S&M scene 5 years ago. In my opinion 'The Story of O' is one of the most beautiful and touching S&M stories i have read. The same cannot be said for 'The Story of O part II. The story lacks the depth and sincerity of Part I and is disjointed and confusing to say the least. After taking a mere 45 minutes to read cover to cover I was left with a 'what the hell was that all about' feeling. Uncomparable to Part I in every way.

5.0 out of 5 stars O is further degraded and finally abandoned, 6 Feb 2000
By rte6vm@hotmail.com (birmingham, uk) - See all my reviews
I thought this excellent, and like the original - there is an emotional intensity here. It continues the tale - with O prostituted for money now and then abandoned after her lover murders someone. A serious tale with none of the airhead fluffiness of much modern erotic fiction.

3.0 out of 5 stars A highly erotic novel
Whether you find The Story of O erotic will depend entirely on your tastes - but for the reader who finds the idea of S&M pleasureable, this book feeds the imagination well.
Published on 8 Aug 1999

1.0 out of 5 stars Even worse that the original - if that's possible!
What a shame. Story of O wasn't too great a book, but it did have a historical novelty. This on the other hand looks like a poor attempt to make a few more pounds from the 'O'... Read more
