Joan Kelly (2)

I hadn't read a memoir before and I hadn't read anything on bdsm before, so this was a new experience on several fronts. Kelly's style was very smooth and accessible. I laughed, I was saddened, I was turned on, it was wonderful.

An interesting story from a perspective I at least haven't heard much from: the submissive. I went from not understanding why someone would want to be out of control to understanding and sympathizing with the narrator. The author has also got a good feel for drama and I was at no point bored with her story.

An interesting look into the world of BDSM from a perspective not often seen. A quick read, not terribly well written.

Brief, flat and unenlightening; unmotivated and unexplained snapshots rather than the memoir of a life or career.
