Customer Reviews

A big disappointment
Having 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.

This is ORIGINAL ending to The Story Of O; and more tidbits
The 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, what has beenpublished on "O" is 1) The original truncated book in Francein the 50s and USA from the 70s on. 2) The original ending as"Return to the Chateau" in the late 70s or 80s. 3) Eitherjust before or just after, a rip-off called "Story of O"Part II that makes "O" into a dominatrix. 4) At least oneillustrated version of the original book. 5) A film version in the70s -- reviewed in Time Magazine at the time, starring Corinne Clery-- hot, hot, hot-- and 6) the 10 part Video set sold on Amazon.com --also pretty darn hot. Contemporaneous with "O" in the 50'sa book called "L'Image" (the Image) was also published bysomeone rumored to be Reages lover... I can also say that I find thebook wholly well-written, erotic, fascinating and interesting, but cannot avoid doing so due to my own interests. Some of the scenes inthis book, as well as Part I, are quite indelible in my mind. Oh,well, I am probably at 1000 words. .... ....

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.
