Product Description

Review

'A rare thing, a pornographic book well written and without a trace of obscenity' --Graham Greene

'A highly literary and imaginative work, the brilliance of whose style leaves one in no doubt whatever of the author's genius ... a profoundly disturbing book, as well as a black tour-de-force' --Spectator

'Here all kinds of terrors await us, but like a baby taking its mother's milk all pains are assuaged. Touched by the magic of love, everything is transformed. Story of O is a deeply moral homily' --J.G. Ballard

'Cool, cruel, formalistic fantasy about a woman subjected - at the prce of the great love of her life - to the gamut of male sado-masochistic urges' --Birmingham Post --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description

Before 50 Shades of Grey, there was Story of O... Shocking and dangerously sexy, this famous story of love, dominance and submission is one of the most erotic novels of all time. Read it if you dare. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars still incomparable 23 July 2012
By Real erotica
Format:Paperback
If there's any justice, the success of 50 Shades is bringing the focus back on this classic.
Did it all, said it better than anyone else years ago.
Few have improved on it. Drop dead Grey and Anastasia, this is the real stuff....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!!! 6 July 2010

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Loved this book, just saddened that it ended so 'unfinished' and that the reviews for the follow up of this book are all pretty negative.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, sexy, dangerous and beautiful. 22 Aug 2010
By Michael
Format:Paperback
Well,... stumbled on this one a while ago and I suppose I've no choice but to call it pornography, but that sounds a bit low-brow. If there's such a thing as literary pornography, then this is where the story of O fits. You need to be open minded here - the themes of BDSM are adult in the extreme, but this story also touches the human condition. It will haunt you, it will arouse you, and and it will make you think. O will touch you! Truly a classic, and should be read by all open minded adults who are not afraid to venture over to the dark side.

3.0 out of 5 stars A classic, badly translated
A classic tale.
No real reason to go deep into the subject of this novel.

In this particular version, rather badly translated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinatingly erotic
I found the book fascinating and erotic and repellent all at the same time: In places it frightened me, confused me and turned me on, sometimes all at once. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Why was this banned?
I 'm old enough to remember this book being banned in UK - on reading it, I can't think why! No 'get-down-and-dirty' graphic sex, just tasteful writing on a fairly taboo subject (... Read more
