I read The Story of O about 2 years ago, and I, like a lot of you, was not overly impressed with it. I don't know, maybe it was because it didn't really strike me as something that would really happen. It seemed a little unrealistic to me. Which in itself is kind of funny since I am a fantasy/adventure author. Perhpas it is because I would like my BDSM to be realistic, as in something I could actually apply to my everyday life. But that is just my opinion.
