"The first 30 pages are the hardest to read, but they are well worth reading. The story becomes deeply psychological and will test your own mental limitations, as well as your intellectual, emotional and physical boundaries. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to get a view into the BDSM culture or even just deeper into who they are." — Sammi (4 out of 5 stars)

" This is the book recommend to the 50 shades of grey fans. Much better written. "
" Certainly not a book for everyone... but a very insightful and pure look into the mind of a truly submissive woman. Great for those into the BDSM scene or the aspiring psychologist. "
" This is a interesting book that brings up questions about sexuality, consent, and gender roles. Since I have mainly read American feminist I am marked by the difference of sexuality and feminism in other nations. "
" Who knew an erotic novel could be so boring "
" A very detailed expression of an individual's sexual fantasies, unfortunately said fantasies don't tally with my own so I found the scenes of violence and forced submission more stomach-churning than arousing. Not my thing but well-written. "
" Would have really liked it if it had a more solid ending. I feel like this was a first attempt with the subject matter. Strong writing but the ending just dropped off. "
" Loved the book. Inspiring. Not so sure about the translation. "
" Interestingly well written (or translated). "
" This novel is the standard by which all other erotic fiction should be judged. "
" A classic for a reason. Amazing. Disturbing. Raw. She does no self-analysis, which is such a breath of fresh air, even if it's old air. The reading of this book inspired me to delete the last of the self-analysis from How to Make Love to Adrian Colesberry. "
" the subject matter is very difficult to stomach, but it's a famous book so I waded through. Strange, very strange, but worth reading just say you've done it if you're interested in French literature or de Sade-type novels. "
" Very well written. Strange story & quite short. But enjoyed it very much "
" A fascinating story of one woman's powerful journey into submission. An erotic classic. I wish there were a better film of it. "
" Not bad. Good as eroticism, but the story gets a bit clumsy as the book goes on. Pretty essential reading for eroticism fans, but could be better. "
