Summary: Elegant writing style but lacking quite a bit...
Comment: This book is really a very odd mix of frank erotica in an almost prim and proper stylized world. ( Frankly, the writing style almost feels a bit prim and proper which is a big contrast to the subject matter.)
I read this book thinking it was the original, not the *new* one... It's an odd mish-mash of a story surrounding the personal destruction of a man, his familY...several others. Although there is an alternate ending scenario that I never quite *got*... in a chapter after the last chapter. Bizarre.
At a time when I read several Anne Rice books, I decided to read this book thinking it was the classic version. This book has alot of frank material. That may or may not be desirable to you. The story is really a bit confusing and not very interesting. The characters are not at all likable.
I don't see this as a *well written* book. I think there is too much lacking in the story in general and the characters..The writing style is interesting and feels *elegant* even when the subject matter is a bit more ....base...
Perhaps, I would have been better off with the other version but after reading this one I didn't even seek it out. This book kind of put me off the whole *O* thing...

Summary: The New Story of O
Comment: This story is terribly written and miserably fails to come near any resemblance of the O we know. Clearly this new O is a composite character that weakly incorporates O's history, but with no consistency of character to the real O. If the reader appreciated the originally translated version of this story, definitely stay away from this one...unless you're just looking for a trashy reading!

Summary: A crime against a classic... and against LOVE
Comment: The very ESSENCE of the "Story Of O" is the heroicity of a total surrender in Love. This book exploits the name of a classic to turn it to a personal, egoistical seeking for power (and not love). It isn't worth a star! (...it's a pity that Amazon doesn't include a 0 star classification)
