Part two of The Story of O. ( )

A sequel to Story of O.

The best part of this book, is the first section. An introduction of sorts where it's more of an introduction to the author, why she wrote the book, how she wrote the book - who the characters are based on (or not), how she shaped the scenes/experiences.

Very interesting segment and if you get the book for only one reason, it's because of this. The writing is very flowing and beautiful (it's difficult to explain).

The story itself? The same elements from Story of O is here but the character of O, is more mature and accepting. She doesn't second guess herself (annoyingly) too much.

I loved the way the writer alludes to things happening instead of coming straight forth and saying it in a crude manner.

If you read Story of O, you must read this. ( )
