Story of O by Pauline Réage
2.0

Not as amazingly sensuous as expected, or elegantly arousing for that matter. What's so classic about this book, I wonder. I'm kinda disappointed here.

Maybe the setting is too modern for my taste? Or the plot's too simple? It was almost like reading a pwp story from fanfiction.net.

Meh. I haven't read many similar books, but I guess I'll be more cautious in selecting another in the future. Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty trilogy is more ah...enchanting and imaginative ;)
